Here we go again... It seems to be a monthly ritual nowadays, I am, of course, talking about the latest person to go overboard on a cruise ship. Being a cruise veteran, I know there are only a few possibilities that could have led to this young man going overboard: drunkenness (which would beg the question how did he get alcohol in the first place since he is only 18); rowdiness (meaning he and his fellow classmates were rough-housing and it got out of hand); or plain stupidity by doing something as brainless as sitting on the railing.
As I was researching what happened with the young man from Louisiana, I happen to stumble upon a site called Cruise SOS. I am not endorsing this card or company since I know nothing about them but, what they do offer is a free card with some common sense instructions of how to handle emergencies at sea (including what to do if someone goes overboard.) They also offer a very interesting and informative section called "What To Do" on their website: http://www.cruisesos.com/whattodo.asp
Hopes and prayers go out to the young man and his family that is safely rescued.
