The real answer here is that there are too many crew members.

Pirates go after oil tankers/container ships because there’s only 6/15 people working on them at any time. The cruise ship has THOUSANDS. So when the pirates take the bridge (where you drive the boat from), the crew shuts down the engine (from inside the engine room 10 floors down). If the pirates take the engine room, the crew calls for help from the bridge. The cruise ship is so large and has so many employees that know the ship very well, it would be almost impossible to take control.
