Ho Ho Ho And A Bottle Of Arghhhh!

We are off on our first Cruise to the Norwegian Fjords in June and we are hopeful of maybe seeing some dolphins or whales which sometimes come alongside Cruise Ships so I have been informed but what I am not expecting to see is Pirates because it isn't 1680 and because you don't seem to get many splicing the main-brace or whatever they do in the North Sea.  
I imagine the passengers on the Cunard Cruise Ship, Queen Anne, are also hoping not to see any but a warning has gone out to passengers to turn off their cabin lights and close the curtains because of the risk of pirates in the area they are heading, the Sulu-Celebes Sea off the coast of The Philippines.
The problem with calling them Pirates is that for some reason, Pirates conjure up visions of swashbuckling adventure movies even if modern pirates don’t do any of the stuff the old, fictional ones used to do, like burying treasure or making people walk the plank or hobbling around on one leg with a parrot on their shoulder.
Modern pirates are not salty sea-dogs using flintlock pistols and saying things like Shiver Me Timbers, they are hardened terrorists using rocket launchers which isn't  really much fun at all and digging up recent Pirate attacks over the last 30 years, there have been over 13,000 attacks on vessels with the overwhelming majority in South Asia and off the coasts of Africa.
The trip to Norway and back then should be fine and Pirate free and the only ho ho ho and a bottle of rum will be in the bar.
