Coast Guard launches search after cruise-ship passenger disappears

Why cant they install a huge net under the balcony?

What is wrong with all of these idiots falling off of ships?

Why is it always men?

Have you ever been on a cruise? Do the words "Unlimited free booze" give you a clue about what probably happened?

What was he doing on his balony at 1:45am. My guess is Alcohol related and sitting on the handrail

Hey Joeybagadonuts, you've obviously never set foot near a cruise ship. They're possibly one of the most expensive places to buy a drink. Second only to t-i-t-t-y bars. Another loudmouth New Yorker spouting off about something he knows nothing about!

You don't fall over the rail at 1-45am. Railing is high enough that you have to climb up over it. One less!

I hope they find him (it's happened in the past). My thought and prayers are with the family. This most be a nightmarish time for them.

they drink to much!!!!!!!!!!

Guess you haven't been on a cruise either. The booze aren't free. However, you are certainly right about the fact that alcohol was the leading factor.

I'm not sure how many cruises you've been on, Joe, but I've done 15. At least 8 of them have been with RCCL. RCCL, nor any other mainstream large-ship cruise line, does not offer unlimited free alcohol. The few that do offer it cost in the thousands per person per day.

I have, and I drank a lot but not enough to do something as stupid as falling off the ship!
