Review summary

Our cruise was awesome, until disaster happened. I never expected a fatality when I paid over $3,000 for my family's Spring Break vacation. It was absolutely ruined by someone's selfishness, deciding to jump overboard. We felt guilty going on trying to enjoy the remaining 3 days left!!

Ship tip

Expect the unexpected! Never in a million years would I expect to see a person jump overboard, nor witness the recovery, by the U.S. Coast Guard. Special kudos the how expeditiously and expediently, they recovered his body.

That is so very sad... imagine what that person must have felt too. I'm sorry your trip didn't go as planned but be thankful for your friends and family who love you... everyone doesn't have that

Sadly this happens more than one may think. We were on cruises that we met people, and they would say this is their last trip, before they pass away from a sickness. Had one jump off the ship as well. Very sad...
