Irish woman falls overboard off Seaview

[Beamafar]

"An Irish woman has been rescued after she fell overboard a cruise ship in Italy on Monday.
She was rescued by a brave crew member, who dived into the sea and saved the woman.

The MSC Seaview cruise ship was in port at the Italian city of Genoa when the Irish woman fell overboard.

A staff member, who is a skilled sailor, saw her fall into the Mediterranean sea.

The crew member then reacted quickly, dived in and rescued the woman."

On the Seaside on the top deck there is a small staircase close to the side of the ship with very low handrails and to me the potential of going overboard was very high. From memory it was near the back of the deck.

I'll have to check that out on Seaview in August.

in this story the headline says fallen overboard but when you read the story it states she intentionally jumped 🤔🤔

[SeaSunset22]

The Italian press reported the next day that a drunken Irish woman jumped overboard from the Seaview following a row with her husband. She was rescued by a brave staff member and taken to an Italian hospital.

The ship was delayed leaving port by six hours while her family packed and disembarked.

Here we go again.  NO ONE FALLS OFF A CRUISE SHIP!  They either jump or are pushed.

[Beamafar]

Media has to be careful how these things are reported which is why they use the term "falls off" - until such time as the facts are established as to whether the person was pushed or jumped.

A great story to share. Kudos to the MSC crew member!

KUDOS TO THE MSC CREW MEMBER is an understatement!

Deary me. Unfortunate the crew member was put in this position but glad it ended well for all.

It's unfortunate there isn't a better, at least more ambiguous description, 'falls off' does make it sound that this could easily occur, which I'm sure isn't actually the case - at least I hope it isn't!

I am glad the crewman did not injure himself or die while saving someone that deliberately jumped off the ship.

I was going to guess that this was a drunk and a jump
