Somali Vacation Cruise

[superjim]

I’m going to book for July.

Thought some of you guys might want to join me.

Sounds like a lot more fun than shooting skeet off the fan tail of a cruise ship.

 

 

Somali Cruise Package

 

This is the best idea yet! Be sure and read the whole thing. I was checking cruise lines because I heard the rates are very cheap right now.

 

I found a Somali cruise package that departs from Sawakin (in the Sudan ) and docks at Bagamoya (in Tanzania ). The cost is a bit high @ 800 per person double occupancy but I didn’t find that offensive.

 

What I found encouraging and enlightened is that the cruise is encouraging people to bring their ‘high-powered weapons’ along on the cruise. If you don’t have your own weapons you can rent them right there on the boat. They claim to have a master gunsmith on board and will have reloading parties every afternoon as well as optional marksmanship training.

 

The cruise lasts from 4-8 days and nights and costs a maximum of $3200 per person double occupancy (4 days). All the boat does is sail up and down the coast of Somalia waiting to get hijacked by pirates. Here are some of the costs and claims associated with the package.

 

* $800.00 US/per day double occupancy (4 day max billing)

* M-16 full auto rental $ 25.00/day ammo at 100 rounds of 5.56 armor piercing ammo at 15.95

* Ak-47 No charge. ammo at 100 rounds of 7.62 com block ball ammo at 14.95

* Barrett M-107 .50 cal sniper rifle rental 55.00/day ammo at 25 rounds 50 cal armor piercing at 9.95

* Crew members can double as spotters for 30.00 per hour (spotting scope included).

* Wow - they even offer RPG’s at 75 bucks and 200 dollars for 3 standard loads

* “Everyone gets use of free complimentary night vision equipment and coffee and snacks on the top deck from 7pm-6am.”

* Meals are not included but costs seem reasonable.

* Most cruises offer a mini-bar... these gung ho entrepreneurs offer......... get this.....

* “MOUNTED MINIGUN AVAILABLE @ 450.00 per 30 seconds of sustained fire” (Sign me up for that!)

 

They advertise group rates and corporate discounts......and even claim “FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY”

They even have a partial money back offer if not satisfied....here’s some text from the ad.

 

“We guarantee that you will experience at least two hijacking attempts by pirates or we will refund half your money back including gun rental charges and any unused ammo (mini-gun charges not included). How can we guarantee you will experience a hijacking? We operate at 5 knots within 12 miles of the coast of Somalia . If an attempted Hijacking does not occur we will turn the boat around and cruise by at 4 knots.

 

We will repeat this for up to 8 days making three passes a day along the entire length of Somalia . At night the boat is fully lit and bottle rockets are shot off at intervals and loud disco music beamed shore side to attract attention. Cabin space is limited so respond quickly. Reserve your package before the end of May and get 100 rounds of free tracer ammo in the caliber of your choice.”

This is spreading fast. I just got it in an e-mail.

"FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!!" ---- Stan, Denver, CO USA

"I got three confirmed kills on my last trip. I'LL never hunt big game in Africa again." ---- Lars, Hamburg, Germany

 

 

 

 

 

"Six attacks in 4 days was more than I expected. I bagged three pirates and my 12 yr old son sank two rowboats with the minigun. PIRATES 0, PASSENGERS

32! Well worth the trip. Just make sure your spotter speaks English." -----

"I haven't had this much fun since flying choppers in NAM. Don't worry about getting shot by pirates as they never even got close to the ship with those weapons they use, and their crappy aim reminds me of a drunken 'juicer' door gunner we picked up from the motor pool back in Nam." ----"Chopper" Dan, Toledo, Ohio USA.

 

 

 

 

 

"Like ducks in a barrel. They turned the ship around and we saw them bleed and cry in the water like little girls. Saw one wounded pirate eaten by sharks--what a laugh riot!! This is a must do." ---Zeke, Minnahaw Springs, Kentucky USA

 

 

How Can Ya Beat That ? Carnival's got nuthin on these guys ! ;^)))))))))

Maybe the big shipping companies could sub-contract this cruise line to take care of the pirate problem ,that way the US doesn't have to worry of stepping on the wrong toes

[superjim]

That sounds like a good idea...and if it is profitable...more cruise ships will join in.

 

They make money...

Pirate problem solved...

Other shipping goes on unmolested.

 

Sounds good to me.

Wonder what it would cost to buy a ship and outfit it?

Wonder if I could get a GRANT from the Gub'mint to do it?

[GARB55]

When do we depart, I'm ready!
