overboard on Grand

[rebeccac]

I've heard reports that one or possibly more people have gone overboard off a balcony on the Grand. Does anyone know if this is true? Any more information?

Watching CNN now - it seems a couple went overboard - both retrieved - male was naked!

Hmnnn....

Yes it is true. More importantly they found both of them at around 6am this morning. Can't wait to hear the details.

Film at 11?

 

We can only hope...:)

 

I'm glad they're safe.

The mind boggles at how anyone could fall off a blacony on a Princess ship. Guess it answers what can and can't be done on one of them

CNN says it was a man and a woman. It is a miracle they were found safely. I'm really eager to find out what was the cause of a double fall off that ship. Was it the usual drunken folly or was there some strange circumstance such as a balcony rail breaking or some other freak accident?

 

I came here hoping a Cruise Critic passenger on the ship would have already posted the latest news. Maybe passengers on the ship are just as much in the dark about the circumstances as we are at this point.

NBC is reporting both rescued and they are not badly hurt. The Grand circled for 5 hours and rescued the woman. Not clear who rescued the man.

 

Can you say lucky?

Just on the "Today" show and they talked to Coast Guard and both of the people were rescued by the ship and are being treated for minor injuries onboard. They must not be hurt too bad.
