Or why not to cruise near Somalia. This is an amazing story.

A cruise ship sailing off Somalia has beaten back gunmen in speedboats who opened fire on it in an apparent pirate attack which terrified passengers. At least two boats closed in on the Seabourn Spirit, firing automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades at the cruise liner. But crew took evasive action, repelling the attackers without returning fire. One crew member was lightly injured in the early-morning incident in waters notorious for pirate attacks.

‘Rocket hit ship’

The Bahamian-registered ship was carrying 302 passengers and crew, most of them are believed to be Americans as well as some Britons. “My daughter saw the pirates out our window,” passenger Edith Laird from Seattle in the US told the BBC News website in an e-mail from the ship. “There were at least three RPG that hit the ship, one in a stateroom four doors down from our cabin,” she said. via the BBC
