Nothing new there...but glad someone is out there saying you don't just fall off a ship :)

[Simbanoodle]

Yes. I promise when I board the Fantasy tomorrow, I will be extra carefull.

I'm still waiting for this topic to pop up on CC.

 

I fell off a cruise ship and survived .

 

I would like it to read as a review with pictures :D.

I am glad that some news agency, even one far away from traditional cruising, was able to shed some light on this. I wonder how long it will be before a TV news agency does a report showing just how high the railings are on the ships. I am really surprised that the TV news in Miami, Tampa, Orlando, etc. (basically anywhere that there are ports) have not done something to show just how hard it really is to go over.

 

On our last cruise my SIL was really worried before the cruise, her first, about their son going over the reailings. Even after I assured her that the railings are very high she was still concerned...until we got on the Glory and she noticed how high the railings really are. She then asked how can people fall over them they are really high.

You can also watch the first 1&1/2 hours of "The Pursuit of Happiness" if you need any suicidal influence.:cool:

[caribbean dreams]

and can you wait to jump until after dinner when you have your finest cut off jean shorts on and a cigarette dangling from your mouth while you are holding your smuggled gin and camera in the other??? Make sure your kids are watching this from the adults only pool wearing their diapers too ;) Just for good measure you could ask your waiter at dinner for the bread basket and use the rolls to save as many deck chairs as possible for the big event :) We may have covered several hot topics if you do all that lol

Yeah, half naked Hugh Jackman couldn't save that one. It felt like 18 hours but it "only" lasted three. Either way, it was time better spent doing something constructive like watching grass grow.

And the most important thing........don't forget to have your tips removed at the pursers desk before jumping!!

Here's my 2¢ (on that movie), my sweetie and I watched the movie this past weekend and I thought it was not too bad. It is long but we rather enjoyed it.

Here's the original story.

It's been my impression you have to almost try to fall off a ship to accomplish it.

[newsman]

And at least it spells the writer's name right.

I like this part:

 

They fall or jump or stumble or are pushed, and no one is there to see, and the Coast Guard searches and the news breaks and we try to solve the puzzle on steadier shores.

 

 

STUMBLE???? How in the heck does one STUMBLE off a cruise ship? :rolleyes: Down the stairs, maybe :eek: :D
