Terrorist have taken cruise ships before the Achille laurel and santa maria are good examples. These attacks paid little in dividends for the terrorist. Also todays cruise ships come with an armed security force to repel or handle such an emergency any other attack would involve lots of explosives and would simply led to tighter port security as happened after the navy was attacked.

Terrorists may try this in future. The problem at sea is not terrorists so much as pirates, especially those who operate in the South China Sea. Sooner or later someone is going to have to move against them. The Royal Navy for example.

Terrorists are smarter than we give them credit for, and certainly a helluva lot smarter than the Bush administration and its multi-billion-dollar boondoggle, the Department of Homeland Security.
Terrorists are patient. They'll wait until the Bush administration has poured billions of dollars into 'protecting' our airports before they eventually attack train stations, bus terminals, border patrol fences, open ports, shopping malls, or skyscrapers.
By the way, I'm not giving them ideas - they've already got all these ideas (and more). It's the idiot Bush administration that's clueless. -RKO-

It's because they would have to clean up the oil spills themselves were they to ever be successful in their goals.
Environmental repercussions aren't like the economic or structural aftermath of a military campaign; you can't erect a new sea or reduce taxes for the trees. Even a terrorist would know not to permanently damage that which they seek to claim.

What do you mean -- they have attacked ocean liners and cruise ships previously.
Google the term "Achille Lauro" for more info.
