Mind, the South Atlantic isn't particularly renowned for pirates.  There's not a lot of business for them unless they want to hijack sheep/cattle transports.

Yes, the ship used water cannon and searchlights to dazzle them.  Then they put their foot on the accelerator pedal and outrun them. 
All the passengers were told to leave their cabins and sit in the corridors in the middle of the ship to be safe from bullets and missiles.

I didn't mean it - it's just that when someone walks down the street with a "Kick Me" sign pinned to their back, it's hard to resist temptation  :devil: .
