I've looked at this in the past, and unfortunately it's prohibitively expensive for longer trips. I'd like to go transatlantic at some point, but it costs 2-3x as much as flying, and in fact, even more than a cruise ship (which sounds horrible to me).
- elblanco 17y agoI've looked into this and reached the same conclusion. Longer trip? Fewer Amenities? More expensive? It doesn't add up. (really all I want to do is go fight pirates)
- ovi256 17y agoYou know that the crews are not only discouraged, but usually not allowed to fight back with real firearms for fear of retaliation ? The pirates are ready to die, after all. The most they'll do is use a fire lance to keep the pirates away or wash them off-board.
- anamax 17y ago> The pirates are ready to die, after all. Are they? They're willing to kill, but that's different. Remember, a robber isn't telling you what he thinks that his life is worth, he's telling you what he thinks your life is worth to him.
- catzaa 17y agoCruise ships (and some other ships) generally have armed gaurds. I heard that it is popular among Israelis (after conscription and before working) to work on a cruise ship as armed security.
