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.

[Rockrose]

Well apparently she was well plastered so that would have helped, but I agree there is something very fishy with this story.

[Ellipsis]

She fell off the back. There is CCTV of her fall (not public - yet). She was in the water for 10 hours. She doesn't appear to be being prosecuted. She is being allowed home.

All of this seems to indicate that it was not a publicity stunt!

I can't think of anything much more boring than being stuck on a cruise ship, if ever I found myself so trapped, I think I would immediately jump overboard.

[ladybirder]

LOL Khandro.
She's put a lot of people to a lot of trouble and looks rather too pleased with herself in my opinion.

[Sqad]

Khandro...LOL..LOL

They were exactly my sentiments 25 years ago when Mrs sqad suggested a cruise.
Here we are after at least 30 cruises.......fantastic.

[Sqad]

If I "fell overboard" my main concern would be ...SHARKS.....but that hasn't been mentioned.

[Garaman]

I almost posted more or less what Khandro just did.

Not for the firt time, you appear to be holding forth on a subject about which you have no knowledge or experience.

If you have tried a cruise and not enjoyed it, fair enough, but your post indicates that you have not, so are not qualified to comment in such negative terms.

As a seasoned cruiser, I can assure you that you would have to work quite hard to be bored.

Seasoned cruiser, does that mean that you are an old salt?

[jno]

you have to have lifeboat drills at the mustard station, dannyk
