What Happens If You Fall Off A Cruise Ship?

What happens if you fall off a cruise ship?
SUBSCRIBE!!!

[@APRzz]

I worked on a cruise ship as a youth staff…around dusk saw two teenagers doing handstands off the railing of the top track level and ran over to them to stop them. One guy told me “what? it’s just water if I fall.” I told him you could break bones this far up and 2nd this ship can’t just stop to find you and what if it circles the wrong way and you get crushed or sucked under?? They look stunned. Anyway, I marched these kids to my manager. He called their parents and his dad cried when he found out and confronted his kid. I feel happy to know I possibly stopped a tragedy from happening that night.

I am an Operation Specialist in the U.S. Navy and I’m trained to find a person who fell or have jumped overboard. To turn around to find that person’s location could take up to 45 minutes or more..by that time, that person might have gotten sucked under and chopped up by the propeller, died upon impact with the water, eaten by sea creatures, or suffered form hypothermia, to name a few. Majority of the times, the person is never found.

I found out, id slept walked across the ENTIRE SHIP n knocked on their door and crawled in their bed, our room was on the opposite side of the ship.

You can't just inadvertently fall off a cruise ship. People are either drunk, want to end their lives, get pushed off, or horse playing and fall off. Either way, you'll probably die because those ships are so large that they can't stop. Take it seriously, people. Cruise responsibly.

Nothing would convince me to go on one of those cruise ships. Ever. In August 1969 I emigrated to Canada from the U.K. on a liner called The Empress of England. I'm terrified of the ocean, can't swim and hate deep water. I remember enjoying the voyage until I was on the top deck looking around and realizing how vulnerable our ship was, nothing around us in all directions but endless water!! I scurried back to the dining hall and distracted myself with some of the delicious food and drinks. The movie "Titanic" was a horror movie for me!

I once gave a ride to the captain of a very large cruise ship. He is on that ship for 6 - 9 months each year, touring the Caribbean and South-east Asia. He said on average 1 - 2 people go missing on each tour. Normally they notice when someone repeatedly does not show up for meals, then they go looking for him. Sometimes they find a s**cide note in the cabin, sometimes not. THEY DON'T EVEN LOOK FOR THEM ! Because he said the ocean is too vast, the chances of finding a person are so slim it's not worth it. There was a moment of silence in the car when he said that. I assume / I hope that they still stop when there are witnesses who see the person jump overboard. But when they find out days later that a person is gone, it's probably too late anyway.

They ended up lowering one of the dinghies to go pick up the body and was stored in the ship’s morgue until returning to the home port in Miami. I heard rumours on board that this man was fighting with his wife all trip and finally got into a serious fight with his wife and threatened to jump overboard and he actually did it. I don’t know if thats 100% true because they tried to cover it up as much as possible to avoid ruining other passengers trips, but many passengers claimed to have seen this couple having some pretty nasty arguments all around the ship *Another story* I know a young family that went on a cruise. A 3 year old child, the parents and also the grandfather. The parents went off to do something and left the child in the care of the grandfather. The grandfather took the child to the top deck to watch the ship sail away 16 decks up. The child was apparently complaining they couldn’t see anything and the grandfather lifted her up and held her on the railing. I don’t know what happened exactly but the child fell off the railing and all the way down into the water. The grandfather instantly went into a panic and told the workers of the ship and shortly they had the ship stopped. And they started looking around the ship for the little girl. Unfortunately when they found her body she was not alive. I can’t imagine what that grandfather felt after making that serious of a mistake, accidentally killing your own kids child. I have heard a few other stories but these were the most serious ones. The other stories I heard the people survived. But just soo you know jumping off the ship is not only seriously dangerous and stupid, if you survive or they manage to find you it will also get you arrested, charged and banned from any future cruises

[@thebellakittylove]

I was watching an episode of "Evil Lives Here". This was one of the saddest things I have seen. This guy who was telling the story was the son of a serial killer growing up. When he was 15 years old, the father decided to leave the US because the cops were suspicious about his last murder. So he took his two sons to Belize, bought a sail boat and took tourists to different locations which could take a few days or a week crossing the ocean. This couple from England had just graduated college, she was an attorney and he was a doctor. But before they started their careers, they wanted to take six months and backpack across several countries. Unfortunately, they ran into this serial killer and his two sons. When they got out to sea, the serial killer hit the guy over the head as he was pulling up the anchor. The girl was in the cabin and saw the scuffle on deck and ran up. The serial killer pulls a knife, then ties their ankles together and ties their wrists and puts bags over their heads. He tells them that he's not going to kill them but let them go when they get close to land by throwing them overboard in knee deep water where they will be able to stand up. Instead he turns the boat around and heads out to the middle of nowhere where he throws them both overboard. The guy telling the story who was 15 at the time said he wanted to save them but what could he do? He's out in the middle of the ocean with his dad a serial killer and he had no doubt that his dad would have killed him and his younger brother too. He said they watched the bubble come up, then stop and after three minutes as the serial killer is looking at his watch says " they're dead". And that was it. They were so young and such a good looking couple who had a great future ahead of them. Their bodies washed up on shore three days later but went unidentified for 30 years until the son was able to finally get the authorities to listen to him about what his father did to them on that fateful day. The episode was called something like "Out To Sea". You can never be too careful when going to a remote place with a stranger. But who would have thought when you see the Dad with two young sons, he was a great manipulator and all of his murders were money motivated.
