Unfortunately this story doesn't have a happy ending.

 

There is a memorial coming up for this crew member.

 

There is footage of him jumping overboard. I have a very good friend who works on this ship. They had been searching for him for many hours before the announcement was made

 

It's a very stressful time of year to be working on ships.

 

Very tragic.

That’s what I feared.... very sad

Did the ship stop and search? That's the normal thing to do if they think someone went overboard while they wait for the coast guard and other ships to help. There is still nothing on any of the sites that report crew incidents, or any news sites. That's not normal. When I google , I get multiple hits on other crew that have gone missing, but nothing on Vision in the last few days (except of course for the two threads here on CC).

To my knowledge the ship never stopped...and we may not hear anything until the investigation is over idk..

I didn't go to his 7:30 briefing. I was still in my cabin trying not to toss my cookies lol. Hopefully we will find out what happened.

Lol I hear ya there, I stayed in mine for quite some time myself. My thoughts on the matter, not facts, but I don’t believe he was swept off deck by rough seas and high winds, and I think the crew would have found him if he was on the ship. I think by the time they first paged for him to report on the speakers which was earlier in the morning, they had already been looking for him for a while.

They never found the crew member. So either he's overboard or hiding. My room attendant is good friends with him and he didn't know many details either. I wonder if the next cruise was delayed. I would assume there would have to be some kind of investigation.

Captain said there would be an investigation .. I’m sure that’s standard procedure....they checked every inch of that ship for hours, going in every room, looking under beds.. everything...

Deck 5 is not the pool deck and there is no pool on it. It's the deck with the casino and guest services and one level of the dining room as well as the outdoor deck where the muster stations are. The pool deck is deck 9 which has the main pool, the solarium and windjammer.

Yup your right the enclosed pool is the solarium and it’s on 9 as well my bad

So most of that info is true however the seas did not get rough until around 10:00am Friday morning and he was last seen on deck 5 around 5:20am. Deck 5 has a pool that is enclosed however it’s also the muster station deck which has railings . They didn’t close the open decks until around 8:00-9:00am. The main pool deck is deck 9 and and has railings but is not totally enclosed. I highly doubt he got swept overboard... the sea and wind at that time was not bad at all
