cvpends Posted December 11, 2021 #6 Share Posted December 11, 2021 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K_e_short Posted December 12, 2021 #10 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Very tragic news. Perhaps the next time someone whines about why Carnival only allows 15 drinks a day they will remember this. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joebucks Posted December 12, 2021 #19 Share Posted December 12, 2021 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. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pe4all Posted December 12, 2021 #21 Share Posted December 12, 2021 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).

firefly333 Posted December 12, 2021 #23 Share Posted December 12, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
