Currently being marauded by Barbary Coast pirates?

Actually, I'd hate to think that that could happen, even though it is a possibility, as our friends at Maritime Matters seem to think. She probably isn't even that far down yet.

I'm assuming she is beeing steered by someone would she not be? It only makes sense! And can she use her propulsion too? I wonder what her crew would be doing aboard her?

Security and maintenance, probably. Or as Patsy alluded to earlier, maybe they're the ones responsible for drilling the holes.

Are there many secret coves or pirates around there? I don't trust NCL one bit. I'm sure we'll all be happy when they confirm what's going on, which they're bound to one of these days even if it's to say she's now a pile of scrap metal so tough, and blows raspberries to the world!
