Bad news for the cruise industry last week as there were two separate incidents of passengers going overboard with unfortunate results.
First, on MSC Orchestra, a 19 year old man fell overboard after attempting to balance on the ship's railing on deck 14 while the ship was anchored off the coast of Sao Paulo, Barzil. As expected, he lost his balance and fell backwards into the water. The ship's crew was able to retrieve him from the sea but he later died from injuries sustained in the fall.
In a separate incident, a 50 year old woman was reported overboard by her husband on Princess' Sea Princess while the ship was sailing between Curacao and Grand Turk. Review of security footage showed that the woman went overboard from her cabin's balcony. An immediate search and rescue effort was conducted but the woman was not located and is feared drowned.
