Queen Anne Cruise Ship Passengers Advised to Dim Lights and Close Curtains Amid Pirate Threat

A recent cruise aboard Cunard’s Queen Anne ship took a tense turn when passengers were instructed to turn off lights and close curtains due to concerns about potential piracy in the region. The alert was issued while the ship was en route from Darwin to Manila on March 13, prompting heightened security measures, including the closure of external promenade decks from 9 PM to 5 AM. While the captain emphasized that the likelihood of an encounter with pirates was minimal and that safety protocols were in place, the announcement left many passengers feeling anxious, as evidenced by the overwhelming response to a TikTok video shared by passenger @lillydapink, which garnered nearly nine million views. Cunard stated that such announcements are standard procedure in certain maritime regions and assured that there was no specific threat to the ship or its guests.
