gatour Posted November 26, 2004 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2004 The Celebration was returning to Jacksonville yesterday morning, when a man fell overboard. They are still searching for him. His wife saw him last at about 11pm Wednesday night. She said he was was an early riser and may have woken up to look at the Navy port near the mouth of the St John's River as the ship was passing by.

Littlegoo75 Posted November 26, 2004 #2 Share Posted November 26, 2004 I don't understand how you can just "fall" overboard. I hope they find him alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hkolln Posted November 26, 2004 #4 Share Posted November 26, 2004 I too don't understand how you can just "fall" overboard. You have to climb over some type of railing or be pushed. I live in Jacksonville and this was all over the news last night. Just seems odd to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthworm Jim Posted November 26, 2004 #7 Share Posted November 26, 2004 It sounds like he got a really severe case of post cruise depression as they were returning to port. Seriously, I can only think of two ways you could just fall off a cruise ship. Either by doing something really stupid, like climbing on or over the rail trying to get a better picture, or on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeta3 Posted November 26, 2004 #9 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Or being pushed... This story of the man who goes overboard and isn't noticed missing by his wife until hours later is becoming just a bit to common of an occurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dburger Posted November 26, 2004 #12 Share Posted November 26, 2004 It is my understanding that the ship has video cameras just about everywhere except the rooms. Shouldn't they have it on film if he jumped or fell off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy1 Posted November 26, 2004 #13 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Hmmm, he "went missing" about 4 am on the last day. Isn't that about the same time they slip your S&S bill under the cabin door? Could there be a connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnnifer01 Posted November 26, 2004 #14 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Good question, dburger. Wouldn't they have cameras everywhere so they could see what happened? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L2J Posted November 26, 2004 #15 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Good question, dburger. Wouldn't they have cameras everywhere so they could see what happened? :confused: I'm guessing CCL doesn't have night time video capabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
