Could piracy affect your cruise plans?
Let’s face it, if Johnny Depp boarded my cruise ship as Captain Jack, well he could have his way with me. But modern real-world piracy is a completely different thing.
While it’s been a lot of years since pirates killed a passenger onboard a cruise ship, it’s interesting to note that pirates and cruise ships are together in the news again–of course I’m talking about the Indian Ocean.
Unfortunately, the messy situation in Somalia continues to create a ripe climate for sea-going pirates, and there has been no shortage of media attention given to this.
Today I read that at least one cruise company has started to cancel exotic itineraries to the region, likely based on piracy dangers.
So I’m curious: would worries about piracy make YOU less likely to sail in the region?
Sail safely, gays!
