What does the Spirit do in case of pirates?

In the event of pirate attack, all passengers will be issued with musket and swords and mustered to the rails to repel invaders. Suite passengers may have their butler carry these items for them.

 

Unless they are in Hawaii; then they will be issued hardhats.

Pirates shall be flogged with inches of gold, drug aboard and forced to don a llife jacket and stand in the sun next to a 7 year old who blows the whistle in his ear for 30 minutes. In order to not violate the little darlin' pirates rights, some respite will be given when he will be given the hard sell from spa attendants who insist his complexion needs $450 of Elemis products. Whatever booty he has ammased in his pitiful little dinghy will be taken to the casino while he watches it go bye-bye one spin at a time.

And before he begs to walk to the plank he will be placed in the hot tub with dozens and dozens of poopy diaper laden toddlers.

 

ARRRGGG!

I HAVE THE SOLUTION TO THE PIRACY OF CRUISESHIPS! Well, the solution to all the piracy really. You take an ordinary ship like a cruise ship, that doesn't ordinarily have ANY sort of arsenal (save the water cannon on the Spirit), and you put 2 to 4 Fifty Caliber Fully Automatic Machine Guns at tactical positions like the bow of the boat (where passengers aren't allowed anyway), and on deck 5 aft under the main restaurant. When these little cowardly little PT-style boats start getting BLOWN OUT OF THE WATER and up in SMITHERENES, pirating of ships will stop toute suite (that's french for "pretty damn quick"):D LOL about the "cruise missiles," btw....

 

And I thank you

Unfortunately civilian ships aren't allowed by international law to be armed with weapons. Of course its the same in some parts of the world where the bad guys have guns and the good guys don't....

Most governments - including the US Government - will not allow cruise ships to enter their national waters, nor their ports, if they are carrying even a single conventional weapon (gun) onboard.

 

The penalties for breaking these rules are very steep. The ship can be arrested, the cruise line banned from sending any more ships to that country, and the Captain can lose his license - and his career.

What happened to "The right to bear arms"

How about UNconventional weapons?

And be charged on their "Sign and Sail" card

 

Can beer helmets be used instead of hardhats?

It charges them an arm and a leg for an umbrella drink just like everyone else. How do you think Capt Hook got the way he did? :)

 

that must have been ONE HELLUVA DRINK he ordered! maybe he shouldn't have asked for that extra floater of dark rum. :eek:

Gosh, I figured they would just give them a sword and take them into the dining room for pictures with the passengers. That's what they do on RCCL.

 

Ok...how did we get to pg 3 without someone commenting on how HILARIOUS this comment is? I might buy the pic if it was with an authentic pirate!

I agree.. I thought it was too funny and had originally "selected it for multi quote" when I made my posting but it didn't show up..and I was running late for work.. LOL..

 

Our pirate pic was actually when we were coming out of the dining room on a Carnival ship.. LOL..It is one of my favorite pics of Doug.. 8-)
