Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas assisted two Cubans that were adrift in the ocean on Sunday.
The two Cuban boaters signaled for help, and the crew of the Liberty of the Seas responded by picking up the stranded passengers.
Originally, Royal Caribbean said they picked them up. But later issued this statement, saying: "The two Cubans did not board the Liberty of the Seas, but were retrieved by a coast guard vessel."
The Coast Guard said they picked up the two men from the cruise liner and found they have legal status in the U.S. They took them to the border patrol offices in Marathon, where their legal status were confirmed, and they were released.
