Geezer Of The Seas Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Think the woman and her party will be put off the ship at the next port call? I'm one of those anal retentive folk that reads the cruise contract. I distinctly remember reading no sitting or standing on railings is in the rules. She broke the rules, impaired or not. Probably captured on security video, if she did it once, what's to stop her from doing it again? At a minimum, she should have booked a trip on Carnival....................

Xaa Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 No need to take a swing at Carnival. They don't have the market cornered on people acting foolishly. I do think RCI will put them off at the next port. I hope the party has the good sense to see that overall what they achieved was a favorable outcome for the level of stupidity displayed.

TakeMeSomewhere Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Not only will this person be put off at the next port, but this person will also be flagged and will never be able to board any cruise ship on any cruise line ever again.

Geezer Of The Seas Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Local media in Orlando while updating story, now reporting after initially quoting the Coast Guard saying the patient required no further medical evaluation, the passenger requested transport to a hospital at the next port call.............. Three things come to mind: Deck 10 is a fair piece up over the water (had a stateroom there on our first cruise). Seems that would have hurt from the moment of splashdown, especially if it wasn't a controlled entry. Dialing for dollars, anyone? Will chain link fencing replace glass wall "rails" on cruise ships? This particular activity seems to be occurring with increasing frequency on sailings from American ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momof4crazytocruise Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 You have to try to fall off a cruise ship. Whether intentional or doing something stupid, no one just 'falls off' a cruise ship.

"The woman reportedly tried to dismantle the toilet by taking off the seat and housing to get her phone. She used her dog’s leashes to help support her while trying to fish the phone out, but they failed and she slid into the toilet head first, firefighters said."

Darwin............. First cruise ever on Mariner, I got a couple great photos of sunrise over the Atlantic from our balcony. Had to do some pretzel like contortions against the divider, but none involved hanging off the side of the ship. Also got a great photo of three other ships off to our northwest heading back to Canaveral at 430 am on the last morning. Just a bunch of lights but pretty breathtaking for an old fart with insomnia that had never seen such a sight. Cactus527 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
