British Man Missing after Falling Overboard…………

A 30 year old British man is missing after falling from his balcony on the eleventh deck of the Allure of the Seas, the worlds biggest cruise ship. The fall, which happened in the early hours of Friday morning,  was also caught on CCTV.

The Allure had been chartered by a Californian company, Atlantis Events for an all-gay cruise and was on a seven night voyage sailing from Fort Lauderdale to Cozumel, Mexico. The Mexican Coast Guard and Navy are still searching the area where the man went missing while Royal Caribbeans Care Team are offering support to the mans family and relatives. He has not yet been named.
You may be starting to think that cruising is a dangerous way to travel, but on average only around 5 people a year fall over board on cruise ships. Balconies are four foot tall at least and made of very strong plastic or glass and it would be impossible to fall over without actually climbing up onto the railing and then slipping, something that nobody in their right mind would consider doing,
Despite recent events that may be indicating otherwise, cruising is still by far the safest way to travel.
