Passenger Overboard Reported on Miracle

[awestover89]

Friend on board the Carnival Miracle is saying a passenger is being reported as going overboard last night.

Holland Westerdam diverted from en route back to Los Angeles to assist with the search along with the Mexican Navy, looks like just a little bit off the coast of Ensenada.

Same, with the ship being relatively close to shore I'm really hopeful some good news comes out from it.

Our captain just announced that the Miracle and Westerdam are released from the search, and we are continuing on.  So sad that they never found the woman.

Oh wow, I'm boarding tomorrow. Does anyone have details?

Such an avoidable tragedy . Prayer for her family

Very tragic news.

 

Perhaps the next time someone whines about why Carnival only allows 15 drinks a day they will remember this.

Alcohol was involved. Is anyone surprised by this?

So sad, and so avoidable.

So sad.  Prayers for her family and friends.

Sad, but I hate the way these stories play out. Unfortunately, about 95,000 people in the US die from alcohol-related injuries each year. How often do they make the news? Since it is on big, scary, boat, it becomes a big deal. This kind of stuff scares people away from cruises. When in reality, its like .00001% of people fall off, from doing stupid, preventable, stuff.

Not in the slightest.

Very sad for family - especially this close to the holidays.  Will be interesting to see how this plays out as the report of divider piece breaking as she was climbing from one balcony to another spells "lawsuit" to me- even though she was doing something wrong and was possibly intoxicated.

Balcony divider was not built for nor ever intended to hold the weight of a person. A lawsuit from the family would be the stupidest thing I could imagine (like the lawsuit from the grandpa dropping the kid on Royal) and would show the world what "jerks" they really are (using their kid's death to try and get rich).

I heard it on fox news on my tv at 5 am. Came here to see if it was carnival. They just said a ship out of  San Diego. Getting ready to board this morning. Sad news to wake up to. It's already made tv news though.

Drunk and falling in public way will always make national news. Not specific to cruises at all. Dorm and hotel balconies as well as stadium/arena upper decks will also make big news. It just plays into our fears of falling and heights that makes it news. Not to mention the amateur detectives out there who can't resist a whodunit.
