Since the penguins don't fly, I would think that the fear of being attacked by them from the air wouldn't be a problem (?). Doubt there's any serious danger of being mobbed by them while observing from a sensible distance. Although that sounds kind of funny and almost cute. (OK, maybe not if you're really afraid of birds...)
I've only been on one cruise, but you definitely have to deal with the gulls going in and out of ports and they can be aggressive. I didn't have any personal issue with them, but a friend of ours lost a croissant to one.
Love it how someone 'shopped a 380 into that Punta Cana photo...
