It'll be especially funny when the navy shows up. Trust me, those cruise ships folks take their security seriously and have little sense of humour. (Well, in that kind of situation anyway)

If you what the bring the ship up to being operated by civillians, the cost would probably be comparable to the cost of getting a new ship.

I'd say about 20 millions, if you're not bringing the ship up to SOLAS standards. Remember, everytime you add "Marine" at the end of an order, the price doubles.
