Gee, I haven't heard that word ninny in years. We used it as kids.[emoji1]

Thanks for the link.

Would be interesting to know the outcome of her foolishness.

:eek: Unbelievable:eek:

Some people have no boundaries!

Granted this passenger is an idiot. However, the original posting is from a cruise line industry publication. It states that passengers ALWAYS go overboard in certain ways: murder, suicide, carelessness. It states it could never happen otherwise. Uh, accidents do happen.

Accidents are the result of carelessness..........and stupid, dumb behavior. Truly no one can "accidentally" fall over board unless they are sitting on balcony rails, climbing over them to get from one balcony or pushing someone to do something truly stupid. No one can "accidentally" fall overboard. The rails and other safety precautions are good enough that it really comes down to murder, suicide or stupid, dangerous behavior.

I'm just wondering what she was photographing, that getting a whole five or so feet closer made it worth being an idiot.

This! Hope her butt was removed from the ship at the next port. If she had gone overboard, she probably would have sued Carnival for putting the lifeboat there as an "attractive nuisance!"

You got that right. Like everyone says "you can't fix stupid".

Carnival will start charging to do this.

An off note on this subject: There was an uproar on Cruise Critic from some posters years ago when a higher railing was urged by some regulatory agency. Cruise lines had 36" to 40" railings back then. The noise level about the nanny state, and over regulation and the cruise line knows best, leave it alone, omg, the cost involved, our prices will go up, blah blah blah was tremendous. Since the railings have been raised, the number of pax overboard has indeed diminished.

ummmmm when were the railings raised?

I thought there might be a follow up here: http://www.cruisejunkie.com/events.html

But nope, not yet anyway ;)

There is a future Darwin award winner *LOL*

I'll tell ya if stupidity could show up on an Ultrasound, more people would be pro choice.

:eek:well at least she is wearing a wide brimmed hat to prevent skin cancer.:rolleyes:

lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any chance you could describe the accident that could result in a passenger falling overboard that would not also be related to one of the likely causes mentioned in the article (recklessness, and or drunken behavior, suicide or murder)?

Odd things certainly can happen, and accidents happen all the time, but that doesn't mean that falling overboard "accidentally" is not caused by the causes noted above. Unless it is suicide, the person going over the rail probably did not mean to do so. It doesn't absolve them from responsibility.

I wonder that myself. Been sailing since 1994, and on some older ships. I don't remember any 36" railings or any height change.

Additionally, there are no regulations that the US could impose that would affect foreign flagged vessels anyway.

MORON.....people like her give the rest of us a bad name :mad:

:D Newspaper Headlines would read: Carnival Passenger Falls From Lifeboat! Are Carnival Lifeboats Really Safe?

funny but true

Some passengers are brain dead. She keeps it up and she will died before her time.
