Man overboard

[beachbrat]

On the Explorer now...the ship started to list severely to the left because we were turning around quickly....crew members running to the decks...all decks closed to passengers.....someone went overboard :-(

[isujim]

Where are you hearing this?? What is your source?????

 

More details as you have them..........

 

Are you on the ship?????

[CruiseLover15]

Oh my gosh, I hope they will be ok.

[beachbrat]

Yes, I am on the ship.

 

They just made an announcement that all decks are closed off to passengers. A crew member jumped (this was also stated in the announcement)

 

I have a balcony. I can see the spotlights they are using on the water.

 

Crew members are on decks looking out for the person.

[bonnie&clydecruzers]

On the Explorer now..

 

Are you on the ship?????

 

It sounds like he is on the ship. Wow thats crazy. Anybody know where the Explorer is right now? Do they have a webcam?

[beachbrat]

We set sail about 8 hours ago from Puerto Rico.

[isujim]

Keep us posted if you can...............

[beachbrat]

Will keep everyone posted as details emerge.

[MarkSeattle]

[RavaRiles]

Terrible, I hope they are ok. please keep us posted.

I'm sorry..I am confused. Did someone fall,because the ship experienced a list.? Or..did the ship list,because it turned sharply to go look for someone who fell/jumped..

 

Thanks..Prayers for all involved...

The ship turned quickly after they realized someone went overboard.

 

So very sad indeed. Prayers are sent to their family and friends.

It sounds like a crewmember jumped so the ship turned back and shut down all decks to look for the person who jumped. Sad story by any account.

[Gingerbint]

This is awful news. I hope they find the person.

Who needs a Sky news ticker when you have Cruise critic!

[AF-1]

My prayers go out to those in the water. Let's hope they will be ok.

[beachbrat]

Ship has slowed to a snail's pace. We are barely moving and spotlights are in full swing.

 

The latest announcement indicated we are in the area where the person jumped.

 

Everyone on balconies has been asked to stay quiet in hopes of hearing cries for help. :-(

 

Confirmed crew member that jumped.

[alexkrn46]

How sad, hope they find the person.

[14Terry]

Truly sad. Lets hope that they find the individual, and get him/her back aboard safe.

[Rancher Dave]

Prayers for the missing crew and their family. Hopefully all turns out well.

[cruiserbryce]

always a sad situation...what would push someone to jump off a ship...

[apk1389]

Sorry. Tried to post website where you could see position of ship but it won't let me.

[PattyG12]

Also on the ship right now. We're still not moving any faster than 2 knots or so but we've swung around and are finally facing northeast (the sun is starting to come up). Apparently it's a waiter. So sad, such a waste. Several people on this ship are from the UK and are here because of their plans being changed a few weeks ago because of the volcano. I hope they aren't cutting their flights too close because there is NO WAY we'll be back in Bayonne when expected. Will check back later this morning

[Bakincakes]

Horrible.

 

Thanks for keeping us updated.

[seaofwonder]
