Luxury cruise ship outruns pirates
A 30,000-ton luxury cruise ship outran pirates off the coast of Yemen this weekend, the ship’s owner said Monday.
The Nautica was in an area patrolled by international anti-piracy task forces when two small skiffs appeared to try to intercept it, Oceania spokesman Tim Rubacky said.
The ship took evasive maneuvers and accelerated to its full speed of 23 knots or 27 mph. One of the smaller craft closed to within 300 yards and fired eight rifle shots at the cruise ship, he said, but the ship was able to pull away.

Who Would Like To Be A Crew Member Of My Party Cruise Pirate Ship?
I have this great idea of raising money to buy a cruise ship and then having all the people that donated the money come aboard and become pirates with me. We could go around the world picking up other partiers and looting areas that have party supplies or maybe just pick up more people and charge them money to hang out with us so we can legally buy party supplies. I even thought that we could have some system of goverment too, all democratic like. There would be different bars on the cruise ship with different themes. A rave bar, a rock bar, a rap bar, a country western bar, a alternative rock bar etc…, The people that frequent any one of these bars could elect senators and other goverment officials from that bar and people could vote on fresh new ideas for new missions.
