Kay... The Cruise Ship Jumper?

[Bravehearted]

Sorry folks, but this looks like a publicity scam to me. You don’t just fall off a cruise liner unless you have some help from humans or alcohol. No sympathy for this woman, who was probably wearing a hard hat and neck brace when she left the boat.

You have Photographic Evidance?

What are you trying to say...spit it out.

[Mamyalynne]

Be Brave dear heart, do you know the lady? Has she a book or film due out?

[naomi24]

I wondered how she managed to fall off and, rightly or wrongly, suspected alcohol played its part ... but publicity? What for?

[Ken4155]

A publicity stunt to what purpose?

[vetuste_ennemi]

Anybody remember the Lady Ghislaine and former VE boss Robert Maxwell?

Cracking Private Eye cover on his funeral in Jerusalem:: "Here lies Robert Maxwell...".

Never did get all my pension money back.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Still, eventually ended up getting £90 (CPI linked) a month. Not even half my bar bill for one week.

But "Always look on the bright side of life...".

I've just read the link and if it's only a PR stunt it's not worked for me. I can't mind on the name of the cruise liner, the woman is named only as "Kay" and I've no idea who she is or what she does.

[Cloverjo]

Is it possible to survive for 10 hours in a cold sea? Swimming, floating or treading water?
I hope the lady is well, but it sounds dodgy to me.

the Adriatic in August isn't too nippy, though not exactly a warm bath.

[malagabob]

I worked at sea for many years, and there was a saying “ only fools and first timers sit on the rail” there is no way this woman fell overboard unless she was sitting on the rail or was lifted and pushed.

[waterboatman]

I agree MB

[webbo3]

She fell off at around midnight, so who reported it ? was she alone?

[puzzled54]

I was wondering how the ship knew which area to return to to look for her

[webbo3]

Me too, I'm just guessing that she wasn't alone and someone raised the alarm.

[LadyCG]

You don't just "fall" from a cruise ship. If it were possible to just fall, a great many more holiday makers would have died at sea.

Having seen this on the news this morning, she was wearing her bikini when she was rescued. Praise the Lord, she was dressed for the occasion!

[Old_Geezer]

Probably sat on the handrail. Likely to have had a friend or relative with her at the time.

[Sqad]

My bet?...She was drunk.
