Jim, when crew wants to leave these ships because of obvious constant stress they get basically threaten by being told they then would have to pay back certain costs. Which none of them can afford. Would u perhaps mind giving us a bit of info regarding crew and their rights in this matter. Thank you.
Thanks for delving into the matter. There were many who believed it was a case of mistaking fishermen for pirates, but I would venture that fishermen are fairly used to cruise ships passing through the area and would not have acted in an 'aggressive' manner towards a passenger ship.
just back from cruise on the Azamara Journey very cheap london hotel which was under threat of attack from pirates we saw first hand the excellent security the ship had , on board were security staff ex marines who deffinately knew their jobs thanks lads you were great, as we sat on the back of the ship having a drink a pirate ship came from round the side security fired a flare at them which scared them off, they did stay within eyesight for a while but soon went,we had a drill for this sort of thing happening so we all knew what to do when the captain shouted safe haven, safe haven. we all went on our way knowing we were safe with the security on board but looking back now if i had know that there was pirates in those waters of the gulf of aiden i dont know if id have gone on the cruise.....
I then noticed that the ex marine security guards who were on watch had armed themselves with rifles. Unfortunately we were then ordered below by the captain in operation "safe haven" and had to remain there for about 20 minutes.
