The link is to some video with something about an american company giving their employees a bonus after selling the company.

 

Nothing to do with cruising or pirates :confused:

Sorry for being flippant Marg. I have been reading up a fair bit on Nautica, and revisiting the Seabourn Spirit attack. There are a couple of places in the cruise world that require a bit of caution.

 

The Seabourn one was largely due to the Captain taking a shortcut closer to the Somali coast, despite warnings.

Piracy is NOT a funny Peter Pan & Wendy story for children.

Seamen have been killed in the hundreds over the last 30 years.

 

It's good that several European nations & others are patrolling the Gulf of Aden.
