Yet another 'Man Overboard'

[Spikesgirl]

Details are still sketchy, but it sounds as if a couple went overboard off a balcony on the Grand Princess. Both were rescued later. Sadly, that's all I've heard so far except for one person saying that the guy was naked.

Just thought I'd throw it out in case anyone else has heard something.

This is sooo sad - if people are this unstable and are wanting to take their lives, why spend the money on a cruise, there are lots of bridges around. Sorry, but I just don't understand why this "overboard" problem seems to be escalating.

Uh, lemmee guess, alchohol was involved.

Fox News said it was the Grand Princess and the couple were rescued 4 hrs. after they "went missing", but that is all that was said about it.

I wonder what room level they were in. Aren't the balconmies on Princess terraced? I'm glad they are OK. Here is a C/P of the story from CNN.

I have a feeling that this wasn't a suicide attempt, and I'm not really certain that this is alcohol related either. Maybe they were just a bit too frisky.

No the balconies on the Grand aren't terraced.

Thanks Z. I sort of agree about this being a matter of "friskiness" that went a bit overboard. No pun intended of course.
