Celebrity Infinity - Odd message under Cruisemapper "location"

[Oceansaway17]

I looked at Cruisemapper a few minutes ago and the Infinity is next to RCI's Anthem of the Seas having gone through the Suez Canal a day ago.

The  current location area says that Anthem heading to "Mumbai" India, but the Infinity location area says "ARMED GUARDS ON BOARD"

 

Wow not sure what that is about so I decided to post this and hoping for the best as the ship is supposed to also go to Mumbai where the Ovation of the Seas is now.

I believe that when ships go through some parts of the world they do have armed guards on the ship. I know we had armed guards board a ship we were on before we went into Israel a number of years ago

Position and status are not upto date 100% accurate.  It's standard practice to have security on the ship during Gulf of Aden passage because of pirates operating in that area.

The destination put into the AIS system that apps like cruisemapper (one of the least accurate consumer AIS sites) use, is a manual entry by the navigation officer onboard, and in the present circumstances, there have been many humorous or "taking liberties with the truth" entries for ships.
