Have you booked your cruise yet?

Hmm, I think doing an unauthorised 'fly-by' of an easily visible large bit of land negates the argument the charts were out of date.

Similarly, normal emergency procedures require a declaration of emergency to take effect, the Captain delayed the declaration.

Wail sensationalism.

Oh, and I'm heading off on a cruise on 20th of this month
