Rare arxcards Posted January 13, 2009 #28 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Yes very sad.On our recent cruise on Rhapsody, the captain said that it was impossible to jump overboard without jumping or being assisted. He did tell of one lady who jumped over on one of his cruises and she was very happy to be rescued and decided after all it wasn't the thing to do. Yes, at the View from the Top Q&A session on Rhapsody, Captain Olav answered a question with a similar response - and also that the passenger was recovered in 20 minutes.

samushy Posted January 15, 2009 #30 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Apparently his GF is in trouble because she saw him jump and didnt tell anyone. He is getting a $60,000 fine and possible time in jail. He was very drunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Kruzer Posted January 15, 2009 #32 Share Posted January 15, 2009 (I wonder if P&O will ban him from all future cruising?). If it goes on his record, he will be banned from ever entering any other country ,let alone booking another cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Girl Posted January 15, 2009 #33 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hi guys Didn't it say in one of the reports he is black listed or somethin to that effect and he can never go on a cruise anywhere? I'm sure I read that somewhere they said because of his mental problems?????????? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thied Posted January 15, 2009 #34 Share Posted January 15, 2009 what happened to P&O. P&O Australia revamped it's Security/Alcohol policies. The company adopted the NSW Responsible Service of Alcohol Policy (RSA.) One way of enforcing that policy is to be able to control the alcohol flow on board by refusing passengers bringing their own booze on board ship. this a quote from a nother thread of mine that some one posted so what happend on the dawn looks like this policies dont work , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can only do so much. Remember, every pub, club & licenced restaurant in NSW (not sure about other states) also have these policies but people still get drunk.

One way of enforcing that policy is to be able to control the alcohol flow on board by refusing passengers bringing their own booze on board ship.this a quote from a nother thread of mine that some one posted so what happend on the dawn looks like this policies dont work , Thied I can assure you after just returning from the New Years Cruise that the security staff and the RSA Officers do their job with excellence, you will notice them if you cruise they wear black and have RSA written acrosse the pocket and on the back of their shirts. I know for a fact that there were over 105 cards cancelled at about day 7 to stop passengers buying alcohol when they were deemed inebriated and they were not reactivated until the passenger reported to have them reactivated the following day. However in saying this and i was young once it doesnt stop other ppl buying the alcohol for them and and if caught they can also get into trouble. I think some ppl need to get into the club, pubs etc in main cities and see how the patrons behave there and you will find it is a hell of a lot stricter onboard a ship then frequenting these places :D Kruzein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffraff Posted January 16, 2009 #37 Share Posted January 16, 2009 P&O can only do so much. They can serve alcohol responsbily, but of course others can buy it for them. And of course there's always smuggling alcohol on board as so many seem so desperately keen to do, so P&O can't control it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundance12 Posted January 18, 2009 #38 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Just returned from this cruise.. the man overboard alarm came one around 5am in all the cabins and then the rest just in the hallways the captain asked us all to look out for anyone floating and found him at the front of the ship once the ship had turned.. was unconscious upon rescue was very lucky it was breaking dawn and the only calm point of the whole cruise do not know about any of the rumours/reasons other than it was from deck 7 and yes the gf did collapse upon his rescue, and he was discharged at vila into a hospital and then medically escourted to australia Not sue about the argument because a group of friends were being interviewed afterwards :confused: more in my review and yes the ship may be jinxed.. we had: the delay sinks blocking and toilets overflowing on deck 6 second night rough seas the whole cruise, many people sick leaking roof and toilets refusing to flush on deck 6 last night last day was violent and the showlounge stage had to be roped off due to an air conditioning vent crashing down narrowly missing a youngie rehearsing for pacific pop star.. hope the next cruise is a bit more drama-free rumour that 31 were removed at vila.. dont know how much of that to believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C1deb Posted April 12, 2018 #45 Share Posted April 12, 2018 So will this be the third person whose jumped overboard in the last few years from the same ship? Or have I missed counted? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent four pages reading about a 2009 event where the person was rescued so I thought everything was fine. Maybe this needed its own thread hey?

Sent from my iPad using Forums News reports are all saying she went onto the deck because she was feeling ill and was hit by a freak wav, then washed off.

johno1234 Posted April 13, 2018 #48 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Hard to believe - the storm wasn't so big that waves were crashing over the ship. The barriers are just too high for this to conceivably happen as described unless she climbed it and hung her body over the edge to be sick - an insanely risky thing to do.

Have you not heard of rogue waves? She was being ill. She was most likely not in full control. Your comments are not helpful. This is a tragedy.
