I just had this forwarded to me and I couldn't resist:
Now this is a cruise I can get excited about!!!
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 it that offensive.
What I found enticing is that the cruise company is
encouraging people to bring their 'High powered weapons'
along on the
cruise. If you don't have 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.
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 rifle @ 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 of .50 cal. armor piercing at 9.95
Crew members can double as spotters for 30.00 per hour
(spotting scope included).
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 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 my arse up!
They advertise group rates and corporate discounts......and
even claim "FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY"
They even offer a partial money back 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 back half
your money
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 May 29 and get 100 rounds of
free tracer ammo in the caliber of your choice
