Watching Captain Phillips got me thinking.......

Fear not, their are far more passengers and crew than rounds most pirates carry:D

LOL and agree with the poster who said the pirates would give all NCL whiners back to the cruise line.

 

Also, not to derail the topic, but there were a couple other "sea worthy" films recently that I enjoyed: last night I watched the new one with Robert Redford: "All is Lost". FANTASTIC film --- one of the things that made me love it was that there are 2 lines of speech in the entire movie. You are literally watching a man trying to save his own life, when his sailboat sinks. No spoilers but it's entirely the actor's physical action and presence on the screen and he leaves you constantly wondering "What would I do if that were me?" GREAT film.

 

Also, "The Life of Pi". Loved it. It almost made me want to go to sea with a tiger, in a lifeboat. Okay, not really, but almost! :)
