Drama at sea: Disney cruise ship comes to rescue after Carnival passenger goes overboard

What's that old saying about God watching out for "fools, drunkards and little children" ? I think he must qualify for the first two out of three.

...and his brains, or lack thereof, would qualify for less than a child!

according to the article it was a "I dare you" ... "I double dog dare you" between him and his girlfriend... what a jerk!

What an idiot. :thumbdown:

:thumbdown:well then ... I hope they make the ignoramus pay the cost of the rescue!!serve the %$#@ FOOL right!!. and ..BAN HIM from any more cruise sailings to top it off!!....JMHO..Joanne

He shoulda been rescued by a shark ;)

And he'll probably raise a stink over not being refunded for the unused portion of his cruise.... What a moron!

Agree with all the above, but it's idiot's like that, that give us good cruiser's a bad name.

Truly, he should have to reimburse the cruise lines, both of them, for the expenses of rescuing him. If respect for their lives doesn't prevent these fools from doing something like this, then maybe respect for their wallets might.

I agree, he should have to reimburse BOTH cruise lines.

If I ever threaten to jump off a ship and somebody says "Go ahead", remind me to say YOU FIRST. :D

Some people are just a special kind of stupid.

I don't know folks. If you read our board a lot I'll be a lot of you thought he got a great upgrade... :evil:

Every time I book a cruise, I always purchase trip insurance which covers emergency evacuation costs up to $100,000. This gives you some idea of how expensive it can get for a ship to have to make an unexpected stop which WE are responsible for paying if the need arises. This jack ass should, without a doubt, have to pay for all expenses his actions cost Carnival AND Disney. He should also get jail time and be banned from ever getting on a ship, any ship, ever again.
