One of the lucky few to make it back on board. Just wondering what makes someone do such a thing. I seem to believe it has to do with the Ships now offering unlimited alcohol packages. Passengers with unlimited alcohol at their every turn tend to drink a lot more than those that have to pay $12 for every drink. The end result is people drinking more than they can handle, and this affects their judgement, causing them to do things they would never consider with a clear mind- Such as jumping off of Deck 10 of a Cruise Ship. Many of those that end up overboard for whatever reason, are lost forever never to be seen again. A very tragic result where their families never get any closure when no remains of their loved ones are recovered. At least this one has a happy ending.
