14. Terror Targets

A mega-cruise ship holds about 7000 passengers. That represents a large amount of hostages or a tragic mass-casualty event for even a small cell of jihadist terrorists to target. They are defenseless. I wouldn't go on a cruise ship vacation now even if it was given away. Aside from that, no wonder they are cancelling some trips due to high fuel costs.
