    Interesting concept as to how she managed this at around midnight - the ships are not designed to encourage passengers to fall off and as the report states, they have cctv fitted to record anyone jumping/falling,

    so - her explanation will be eagerly awaited....

    Knowing the Norwegian Cruise Line, I suspect she had recently been presented with her bar bill and decided to make a break for it.

  2. I saw a report she had left her handbag with her passport in by the railings. The key will be her mobile, no wimmin goes anywhere without em :D

  3. i like you wait with baited breath
    i suspect that the owners are waiting for the explanation from her before releasing the CCTV

  5. If she jumped wilfully, she could easily face legal proceedings for the huge costs incurred in delaying a cruise ship and it going back to search for her.

  6. No-one "falls" from a modern cruise ship, unless they are doing something very stupid like sitting on the railings. There is more to this story still to come out...

  7. Surprised hitting the water from the top deck didn't kill her
     
  8. Im surprised the ship hasnt got a launch to send back to recover her.
     
  9. I saw a news report that the friend she was travelling with didn't realise she was missing till 2am so notified the ship who then turned back and did 4 laps of the area whilst notifying the Coastguard. Most ships have camera's these days due to jumpers so it will be interesting to see what comes out of it.

  11. A Very High Risk Publicity stunt;)
     
  12. Her and this friend she was travelling with, were doing a Leo/Winslet ‘I’m flying Jack’. Said friend accidentally knocked her over, ran off and waited until 0200 to report her missing to avoid suspicion.

  13. You can imagine the captians of these cruisers can't you.

    1st mate...Skipper, we have another Kate Winslet
    Skipper..funny how they always jump off the back rather than the front to avoid getting run over by the boat. It's not as though the result will be any different.

  14. If you’re pissed are you really going to manage 10 hours bobbing about ?

  16. It helped that cook in the titanic film. Pissed as a newt and raised his body temp.

    I imagine someone with a big red cider nose would be positively radiating and could keep a little group warm.

  19. They have. But at sea in a ship that big it's not just as simple as stopping and putting a boat in the water. And that assumes that they actually know someone has gone overboard. Ships have very detailed protocols for this sort of event.
