How Do You Fall Off A Cruise Ship?

[Semiologist]

There's another person missing off a cruise ship. I imagine that almost every time it involves alcohol and/or suicide.

Or an invigorating workout.

I seem to remember watching a report about how some (maybe all) cruise ship companies really don't monitor or limit alcohol consumption at all. And it might seem reasonable, it's not like anyone is getting in a car, but I'd be willing to bet 99/100 of these incidents involve alcohol.

What if they just left the person at port? Some cruises don't stay docked long enough to bang your limit of local hookers.

The day a cruise line begins limiting or monitoring their guests alcohol consumption will be the day of the first passenger ship mutiny since the Amistad.

Good luck stopping me from drinking after I pony up the $375 for AUCD for the week.

I used to work in the cruise industry and have seen footage of several people going overboard, and seen the reports or heard the stories of many more. Nobody "accidentally" falls. Almost always someone doing something stupid when drunk, on occasion suicide, and rarely they are thrown.

Only when a staffer has first raped, robbed or pillaged someone....then, those guests/victims are sometimes tossed over.

It seems like the perfect way to kill your spouse/girlfriend. I went to the bathroom and she was gone, I figured she went back to the casino so i went to find her. Sounds to easy and how do you prove otherwise?

Seems like the bride was so broken hearten that she made a financial deal to keep the investigation silent. She claims she just wanted "to get on with her life", maybe so, but damn was that cold!!

Groom "falls" over board

I can see that the poors with their interior rooms are on this thread. The wall around the balcony on a suite is low....good height for extra curricular activities....bad height for the post-activity blissfulness.

Probably cameras everywhere...

I read an article about this a while back. I think they said one of the main reasons were people climbing rails, usually after being locked out of rooms or trying to get a better view.

Just read an article this morning that said the guy climbed over the rail on his balcony. They have it on security footage. Drunk dumbass.....

You pay $375 for AUCD?! For a week!?

I'm no drinker, but that seems a bit absurd, especially since I thought most people sneak their hard liquor onto the boat?

It averaged $60 a day last I went, $420 a person I think it was. Best deal I have ever received in my life

It's a great deal given the price of drinks on the ships and it's getting harder to sneak on booze....plus I don't want to deal with the security folks rummaging through my luggage.

That's a pretty good deal if you're a drinker.

Any of the major cruise lines have pretty stringent requirements on the height of all railings... and anyone shorter than Shaq would have a hard time accidentally flipping over.
