What Happens If You Fall Off A Cruise Ship?

[@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.

[@beedavey6318]

I was on a cruise where a staff member went missing. Sadly he did go overboard during the night and the ship did turn around but because they didn’t know what time he was lost, there was no hope. Our rooms were all searched one by one in the hope that he was just fraternising with a guest. Another staff member I talked to on that cruise said some of the staff are on those cruise ships for many months on end for poor pay….and they miss their families. I’ll never forget that and I just feel so sorry for his family 😞

[@redhunnid5142]

They should have a waterproof beacon alert that you wear around you like a vest lightweight under their uniforms so in case you do fall off they know exactly when you fall off and where you are at in the ocean and it should be a dedicated rescue squad with scuba gear on all side of the ship incase someone needs to be rescued

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!!

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.

My boyfriend and I went to Costa Rica. They told us not to leave the resort unless we were with a guide, but I let my boyfriend convince me it would be ok to take a taxi to this small town not far away. We found this American guy who took tourists out on his boat to snorkel or whatever. After talking to him about cost, etc...we were ready to go. Then I got this feeling in my gut that told me do not get one a boat with a stranger from a small village in a foreign country. This guy could have been a felon for murder who fled the US and was on the run. I honestly believe if we had gone we wouldn't have returned. So then we started walking around and looking at souvenirs and we were being followed by several shady looking people. This town was really small, it had one road with small shacks and I'm sure no policing. The locals looked like they were pissed at us. We got the hell out of there pretty fast. My dummy boyfriend was totally clueless. Needless to say, it was over with him before the vacation even ended.

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.

@@CrimsonSurvival Even if you don't ship keels are covered with all kinds of barnacles and rusty edges meaning you might get horribly cut either way. There's also the nasty reality of *gargantuan inertia* of water being slammed against the sides of the hull, meaning the body gets slammed against it too... I mean sailing ships can get seriously damaged just being dragged along the sides of a large ship so needless to say that spells some nasty trauma for a human body. Without a life west a human drowns when you can't stay swimming to stay afloat anymore. And if not pulled out of the water hypothermia sets in *even in tropical waters* .

I was on a cruise where a passenger jumped off from on of the higher decks, the thing is they decided to put on a life jacket before jumping. Because of the life jacket the impact with the water was soo severe they actually died. The ship was docked at one of our ports of call and while we were having breakfast ready to go off on the island, we could see the body floating around in the water beside the ship. 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.

They could solve this easily by giving everyone a tracker bracelet and having a 24/7 live system which triggers an automatic red alert to a dedicated onboard emergency response team if anyones tracker should happen to stray more than 100 metres from the ships geometric footprint. The most obvious two methods of rescue would include a small contingent of helicopters kitted out with buoyancy aids so that the pilot and his team can set down in close proximity to the stranded casualty, alternatively the cruise ship could be modified so that it is capable of quickly deploying several high speed dedicated rescue seafaring vessels in order to quickly recover and return the stricken casualty back onboard the main ship. In order to do this some specialised bays would need to be designed into the cruise ship to both quickly and easily deploy and re-integrate the small rescue vessels as effortlessly and efficiently as possible. The reason this is not already currently in place is twofold, firstly because these instances are uncommonly rare and secondly probably because the cost of such adaptions are considered prohibitive . . . when considering the money that such operators can make annually though, these failsafe rescue programs should already be in place in my opinion.

​@@phillatio3266You are going to feel the same roller coaster feeling when it goes down, but you'll feel that when the plane takes off or even is about to land I think. It gets scary. I'm legit scared asf through plane rides most times

If I plan on getting wasted on a cruise ship I’m going to wear one of those lifejackets under my shirt that inflates when submerged underwater and have some kind of bright beacon light on a lanyard around my neck. Maybe even a have a backpack with an inflatable life raft and air pump inside. Not taking any chances! Well except for being black out drunk in the middle of the ocean 200 feet in the air on the top deck with a low railing.

[@RealOne-gg8hn]

Maybe not drink at all if you gotta do all that

I love the main advice.. "The Key takeaway is.. don't fall overboard!" Lol

[@malamaurer4043]

Yup... it's a predominantly a white people problem 😂

[@monkeythefoot1348]

What’s the point here? That black people don’t jump overboard? Cause if you’re insinuating they don’t go in cruises…have you seen advertisements these days…not a white person on the cruise ship.

Sharks hang out in these shipping lanes also. So remember. They are waiting for something to be ‘dropped’ overboard

I’m 57 and never went on a cruise. Unfortunately, I’m scared of water. Growing up in Mississippi, I often traveled to New Orleans and crossing the bridge was a nightmare for me. Now in Los Angeles, I often go to Santa Monica & Venice just to be near the ocean. But a cruise? Hell no! You can’t missed what you never had as the saying goes. We were poor and I never learned to swim in the 60s and 70s😢.

[@mentor.of.motivation1741]

I was on a cruise and saw 2 teens jumping they were yelling for help. The captain was advised as it was turning, but you could see something pulling them under

[@andybrown6981]

The pull must be incredible. I read that better to jump off stern as if near the edge of the ship alongside can get sucked into propellers

[@deedeesigvertsen9157]

Sharks waiting

I went on a cruise two months ago. First time going. I was scared closed to the rails cause I’m scared of heights. But…. It was the best time I ever had! The fun and good vibes are contagious. It’s hard for me to see someone being depressed in that environment but you never know 🤷🏾‍♂️

I agree, ppl don’t just fall off. I’m too scared to be looking over the rail.

[@mycrazylife2go]

No one falls off a cruise ship. They either jump, are helped or doing something stupid.

[@thomaskim3128]

There are plenty of safety features built into the ships. If those knuckle heads want to win the Darwin Award, don't stop them.
