Training Against Pirate Attacks
Many of us might think of pirates being something either way back in history or only something that exists in fairytale stories such as Peter Pan. Well, this is not the case. Pirates definitely still exist today. Although it is seriously rare for a bunch of pirates to take over a massive ship like a cruise liner, that is not to say that it doesn’t happen. And the crew is trained for the eventuality and how to handle it. Some cruises like Oceania Cruises and Princess Cruises give their crew training in how to get their guests away from the windows and use giant water canons to spray intruders with. Because cruise liners are so gigantic, the amount of water they can use could easily overpower any smaller ship. There is also the method of using Long Range Acoustic Devices, a device that emits a painful and loud sound. A luxury cruise liner used this method to escape a pirate attack of the coast of Africa in 2005.
