beachbrat Posted May 6, 2010 Author #4 Share Posted May 6, 2010 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.

brn2crz Posted May 6, 2010 #11 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I'm sorry..I am confused. Did someone fall,because the ship experienced a list.?

PhoenixCruiser Posted May 6, 2010 #12 Share Posted May 6, 2010 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. ### Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maudde Posted May 6, 2010 #13 Share Posted May 6, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachbrat Posted May 6, 2010 Author #16 Share Posted May 6, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattyG12 Posted May 6, 2010 #23 Share Posted May 6, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
