ShakyBeef Posted February 17, 2016 #14 Share Posted February 17, 2016 So good to hear it was just a false alarm and all are accounted for!:) I wonder what led them to believe someone had gone overboard. A hoax reported by a passenger? Someone seeing something that looked like a body fall off the ship, or floating in the water? A particular individual gone missing for awhile?

elliair Posted February 17, 2016 #19 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Great news! I wonder where they were! I wonder who came to the conclusion that there was a man overboard? This comment at the facebook link got my attention: Paul Desmond Better than the one that fell overboard from a RCCL ship that a Disney ship found. The RCCL ship had no clue he was missing. WHAT? RCCL had no clue a passenger was missing?:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daweenis1890 Posted February 19, 2016 #25 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I was on this ship, here's full rundown: 1pm - 3 signals of ships horn and captain announces man overboard. Ship begins to circle around, life preserver is in the water. 1:30pm - Crew finally lowers rescue boat to begin search, meanwhile ship has passed life ring w/ no one inside. 2pm - Cruise Director announces that there is a missing person reported on board. 2:30pm - Captain Announces that Coast Guard has been notified and we are at an full stop. 3pm - Passengers are told that they will be called by floor to come to the Empress atrium w/ sign and sail for accurate count. They scanned cards and asked that passengers stay clear of atrium. 4pm - Cruise director calls for all crew to level 3 for headcount. 4:30pm - After seeing numerous passes by coast guard plane the Captain announces that all passengers are accounted for and we will start back to Port Canaveral. Here's the weird things: Captain never said all crew accounted for. We were between Miami and Freeport when this occured. We headed back like a bat out of hell, We started back at 5pm. and we're in Port Canaveral @ 1:30 am for a "Medical Debark". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
