A cruise turned into a nightmare for people aboard Royal Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas when a young man jumped overboard shortly after 4 a.m. Thursday.
The 18-story ship was sailing between Cuba and the Bahamas’ Grand Inagua Island when the as-yet-unidentified man jumped off one of the decks.
According to onlookers, his father and brother watched helplessly as he leaped over the side.
Some passengers said it appeared to be an impulsive, spur-of-the-moment decision.
Put up some freaking nets or something. Real hard to enforce safety protocols on cruise ships when they are all based out of places outside of any laws. I have been on many cruises and the drunkeness is Viking like. I went on a New Years cruise one time they had to net all the pools to keep people from falling in and drowning. Just saying. Anybody could easily jump off, or be thrown off at any time.
