uhm, not to get too tin foil hat at people, but these folks do provide proper security don't they? Condition Orange plus a very large group of known conservative activists in one place under the usual cruise ship rules (no personal weapons, etc) sure sounds like big time Al Q target to me...
We appreciate your concern, but cruise ships are probably the most secure places to be, anywhere, any time. The security is fantastic, yet virtually unnoticeable.
Every year, we get dire predictions of doom the moment the cruise announcement thread goes up. Hopefully, that will not be the case this time.
