Black Out

GAB is having great difficulties with the ship's black out rules.

Pirates!  They do pose a threat, or so they are telling us. GAB is certain it is another dog and pony show (TSA) and has flexed her muscle (mouth) with the crew.  My thinking is more along the lines of liability?


Our balcony curtains must be drawn from 6PM till 7AM daily. 
As dusk falls, orders are given to darken ship. Passengers close the curtains, while crew members install blackout curtains in public areas.
The purpose, is to make it harder for any pirates to identify the type of ship and how far away it is. The darkened ship also makes it easier for the lookouts, equipped with night vision goggles, to see.

There is no late night hot tub, swimming pool, or visiting the outside decks during those hours as well.

But, leave it to GAB to support smoker's rights.  She knew there must be an outdoor space provided for them. She does join them on an outer deck after dark; not for fresh air however.  It must have been determined that Pirates do not notice little burning tobacco embers on the ends of white sticks.
