Man gets banned from Royal Caribbean Cruises after jumping off ship for viral fame

[Dandylyon]

Thank you, Royal Caribbean, for banning these reckless idiots for life.

 

It's people like that who ruin things for the rest of us.

Just read the article on line. Glad they were ALL kicked off and had to find their own way home.  Idiots

Finally able to read the article and my conclusion is that he's a total JERK.

Moronic and ignorant.

If this goes badly, (broken back, broken legs, worst case death) the entire ship is stuck there while they figure out what happened and investigate, 'cause you can bet his buddies "wouldn't know what happened".

[ShillyShally]

Who would have thought our single cruising travelers now have to ask "Have you been banned from any lines?" when determining a dating mate's suitability 🙂  Kidding, sort of!

[Cruisercl]

Huge sense of entitlement and very immature! He appears already to be a damaged individual.

His lack of judgement and recklessness at that age will follow him his whole life thanks to social media.....I like that part.

Probably won't be laughing in the future but will say he is 'really sorry'. 😒

So it sounds like he was climbing around the partition that separates the balconies?  The headline makes it sound like he was standing there minding his own business, lost his footing and went overboard.

Correct.  I actually made a comment to the exact same point in the comment section of the article.  I hate headlines like that.  Misleading only to lure readers to click into the article.  ...and if you don’t click into it the reader is misled about the real occurrence.

Should also bill him for any expenses regarding his rescue.

[dreadpirate3]

Unfortunately, some people need the attention they receive from making these prank videos. I won't give him the publicity of another view.

 

Good riddance, glad no one innocent got hurt.

Any couseling for paxs that were on that side to see this idiots thrill seeking prank! He is beyond lucky that it was deep enough & no rocks! It would really have sucked for him if his legs went into the bottom with force & broke the body in 2! Good job on Royal for banning them.

Just watched the video one of them made after the event and as they were escorted off the ship.  They still think it was funny.

 

Did anyone else want to give them a damn good slap and yell 'grow up' ?  FFS they are not children.

 

They (and others who behave irresponsibly) should be banned by ALL cruise lines and I might even consider throwing in ALL airlines as well.  That would teach them a valuable lesson.

 

 

I wonder if they had the drink package!    (kidding, there isn't enough alcohol in the world to get me to do that. )

[SargassoPirate]

At least he was smart enough to jump on the water side and not the pier.

 

I wonder if he hit the water hard enough so that he will be unable to pass his genes and genius on to another generation of idiots.

 

One can only hope.

I am curious how they monitor a lifetime "no cruise" list.  Especially considering how unreliable their website is.  Any ideas?

They enter the name on their "no-cruise" list in their mainframe reservation system preventing that name from being booked.

I don't think it's making them stupid.  They already were - it's just exposing them for the world to see.

[Aquahound]

I don't know who looks/sounds like the biggest idiot...the moron who jumped or the ignoramus with the moronic sounding giggle.  

 

Thank goodness RCI banned all these idiots for life.  I have a feeling their neighbors are also rejoicing.

Which ship did this occur on?

Yep, the Jan 5-12 sailing.

[Krazy Kruizers]

He sure is a nut case.

 

Glad that RCI kicked them off the ship and banned them all from RCI for life.
