I too was on this cruise, and it was my first cruise ever.  We heard early in the morning the cruise director’s announcement that we were turning around back towards Cannes rather than Palma de Mallorca where we were headed due to a missing person.   I asked guest services and they confirmed.  Then later on during breakfast, there was an announcement asking for our (passengers’) help, looking off the sides of the ship for pink pajamas in the water.  Many people were looking from the top deck.  They printed out a new list with more activities as we weren’t sure if we’d make it back to Mallorca at the time.  It was quite surreal to see them trying to keep the other 5000 passengers entertained and doing business as usual but all the while knowing all wasn’t well l.  I can’t imagine how the crew felt.  They refunded people’s excursions in Palma. Throughout the day we circled the same area of the Mediterranean and I heard helicopters and boats were helping but didn’t see.  They announced we were not going to Mallorca.  Around 8pm the captain came over the loudspeaker saying they were completing the search and we’d be at Barcelona in the morning.  It’s still hard to believe it happened 

I pray for her family.
