No. I'm sure there would be quite a few people on the cruise - more than will have a chance to actually kill a pirate. But by paying their fare, they will have in fact empowered others to kill a pirate.
But at least you finally acknowledge that this isn't just about killing "people", as you've stated - it's about killing "pirates". Indeed, pirates are people. But people aren't necessarily pirates.
