What would happen if you fell over board on a cruise?


just wondering

It's pretty much impossible to actually fall overboard on a cruise ship. You would have to climb up over a wall first. The walls in your balcony rooms are made of Plexiglas. They come up to your chest unless you are 7' tall. I once heard of someone falling overboard and they were found after several hours, but I know for a fact, they just didn't fall overboard. I just don't see how someone could actually do it.

You would die, and the cruise company would probably try to cover it up.....

i heard about that on the news once but i would think it would be alot more common what with all the free drinks and all lol and i think they would send a search party when and if the realize your missing

I would drown because I can't swim lol. that is why I do not go on cruises.

you would get eaten by sharks...

Nine times out of ten you would probably drown unless someone actually saw you fall overboard.
The ship moves so quickly that no one would probably notice you were gone until it was too late.
They would put off a search party for you, but chances are you'd already be a goner.

I think you would probably drown...depends if you were on your own and if any one noticed at the time.

most likely drown. go figure. unless of course someone sees you fall and sounds alarm. lol.

pray it was in the daylight, and that someone saw you go over

Hopefully someone sees you fall; they raise the alarm, the ship stops and sends out search boats, and hopefully they find you before you drown.

If you break your neck or are unconscious when you hit the water, you'll probably drown and sink before anyone finds you.

This happened just a year or so ago, a couple college kids fell over a balcony while tipsy - they had to tread water all night and the ship officers had to turn off the engines to listen for their calls, but the next morning they were both rescued.

Well, in order to fall overboard, you would either have to be very drunk or very stupid. There are rails about 4 feet above the deck edges and either metal or plexiglass from the top of the railing to the deck floor. You would have to either be climbing over on purpose or drunk and trying to walk the edge of the railing. It is IMPOSSIBLE to fall over accidently if you are not drunk of stupid.

What would happen? You would drown since the ship would probably have you sucked under the hull and you would not pop up to the surface until the ship was a few miles away.

There are all kind of safety rails to hold onto on a cruise ship. There is no reason anyone should fall overboard.

you would die. Don't get loaded and climb the rail.

u wuld drowned, freeze to death, and in the end u wuld either be rescued or die. after u die u will either go to heaven or hell. if go suicide prepare to burn in hell.
