Press Association, the British news agency, said passengers awoke to the sound of gunfire as two 25-foot inflatable boats approached the liner.


Not the smartest choice for a pirate ship. :rolleyes:

Pirate attack

I found it interesting that while this is the first pirate attack on a commercial cruise liner, "piracy along the Somalia coast is common — several ships a month are attacked or hijacked, with valuables stolen and crews held for ransom."

How do the pirates ever board one of those big ships from an inflatable boat? The gangway on any cruise ship I've ever seen has to be 50' or more above the water line.
