A Carnival Cruise Line ship rescued two people stranded in a kayak on Monday.
Carnival Jubilee’s crew discovered the two men off the coast of Mexico’s Isla Mujeres. The pair said they had been using the kayak to stay afloat after their boat sank.
“They were welcomed onto the ship safely and were evaluated by the ship’s medical staff and given first aid and food,” the cruise line said in a news release. Carnival spokesperson Matt Lupoli did not have additional details about who the men were.

Kayaking in open water is a big nope.

Whats the odds that they saw it was a Carnival cruise and weighed their options?

Sounds better than not being rescued or being rescued by an oil tanker out of Liberia

They were in a pretty busy shipping lane...helluva sailfish bite off Isle Mujeres right now. Even if the moon was full 5 days ago they're raising double digit sails a day down there this time of year. 25-30 on a new moon is pretty standard.

That's a new one for carnival, gaining passengers at sea. Aren't they the ones usually losing one here and there?

Cruise ship: "You guys need a ride?"
Kayak Dudes: "Uh, no thanks we're good.."

So just thinking out loud..... their boat had kayaks as flotation devices? Just doesn't make sense. There's more to this story.
