Gearing Up For The Big Cruise

My sister and I have been planning an Alaskan cruise for almost two years now. Six of us are going, and my Mom is going $ on us (a gift for her 70th birthday). We've got most of the preparations covered now. We leave for it in early August. I’m really looking forward to it, as I haven’t been on such a vacation for several years. The picture below is our boat; they call her the "Star Princess."

To be honest with ya, I kinda wish it had some 6" guns on it, given the recent pirate attacks. Oh well, not to worry, my big-sis, Helen, can handle any pirates that climb aboard. After all, when we were kids, she held her own with four younger brothers that were kinda like junior-pirates. Unless we get boat-jacked, the map below reflects the Captain's coordinates.


Next time I look into a cruise, I may have to check out this modified cruise boat below. I call him the "Star King." Forget concealing any defensive capabilities, as this bad boy’s got guns that any pesky pirate can see with a monocular 5 miles away. That’s my kind of boat! If I was on a vacation cruise aboard this rascal, I'd be secretly hoping that some pirates showed up.
