I was reading a post on Reddit from a 17 year old who saw it happen. Sounds like the passenger had some sort of psychotic break. The crew members were trying to calm/control him but were unsuccessful as he was bigger and overpowered them before jumping over the railing. Sad situation to say the least. I don't know if links to reddit are allowed on here but if they are I can post it.

I've only done two cruises before and they were with Disney out of Canaveral after going to the parks for a few days with my daughter. This one is going to be a solo but even still I am able to do a 7 night in a Jr Suite for less than the cost of a 4 night with them in a regular balcony room. In a few years once my grandson is a little older I am planning to do a Disney one with them again, but in the meantime I am looking at doing more Royal cruises for myself. I went with the 8/18-8/25 because it was slightly cheaper than the 8/2-8/9 and because it is Sunday-Sunday which means I don't have to take the Friday before off. Almost went with the 9 night 8/9-8/18 but held off since this is my first solo and didn't want to run out of stuff to do. After this one will make the call on longer cruises down the road.

I'm coming from up in Watertown so this definitely helps me as far travel time and best time to do the check in. Having a 5-6 hour drive is a big savings on not having to fly to Florida...which I used on a better stateroom lol.
