Cruise ship fearing pirates warns passengers to turn off all lights in cabin

A ship has put passengers on notice while charting waters "known for piracy threats," a TikTok user alleges.

User @lillydapink, also known as Lilly, said she was traveling on Cunard's Queen Anne cruise ship crossing from Darwin, Australia, to Manila, Philippines, and posted a video of the announcement.

"We will be operating at a heightened level of security alertness during this period," a woman can be heard saying over the intercom.

Lilly told Fox News Digital, "All the outside lights on open decks were turned off."

"The curtains and blinds were also closed to keep the ship as dark as possible," she added.

Fox News Digital reached out to Cunard for comment.

The video amassed more than half a million likes with social media users sharing their thoughts about the announcement.

"Bro my timbers would be shiveringggg," joked one user.

Another wrote, "The way I would crawl and hide under the bed."

"Well, that sounds terrifying," one TikToker said.

"My toxic trait is thinking I could befriend the pirates," another user wrote.

"Well, that's something you don't hear every cruise."

One said, "I would be on full-blown pirate watch and no one would stop me."

He added, "Very few ships [have] experience and security teams are continually reviewing current conditions before ships arrive in impacted areas."
