What with the dinghy packed with explosives going after that oil tanker, I don't know much about boats but what would the same sort of attack do to a cruise liner?

...and if the water is warm enough, you won't have to worry about hypothermia.

...unfortunately, as the risk of hypothermia reduces with the rise in water temperature, the risk of shark attack increases.

bon voyage...
