The Secret Lives Of Cruise Ship Workers

Falling Off The Ship?

In 2015, a man fell off a Royal Caribbean cruise ship while in the waters off of Cozumel, Mexico. The man was a twenty-two-year-old American and spent five hours in the water. Amazingly, another cruise ship was traveling through the area, the Disney Magic.

The young man definitely had luck on his side as passengers on the Disney ship spotted him. A passenger threw him several lifesavers in an attempt to save him and crew members were able to get him aboard. The man needed some medical attention but was, miraculously, in good condition. Authorities said the rescue was certainly magical, ” Most people that experience that kind of fall break their neck. It’s like hitting concrete.” Although the man falling overboard was not the best public relations for the cruise line, it was validating that the crew was able to act fast and save him from harm.
