Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but they can change the missing to “deceased”. If she didn’t die from the initial fall, she drowned or got sucked up into the propellors. I’m not sure I remember any of these ending up with the person being found.

you got to set a goal to go overboard or be really drunk and climb on the railing.

actually they all do have fast rescue boats. Usually zodiacs one on each side.

Pics? I am going fishing in the gulf and would like a way to identify her from all the other people floating around out there.

This is correct as well. But generally by the time they can scramble them, it’s too late.

No Morbid. This is two seperate events. One fell off the balcony onto the 11th floor deck on a boat that departed Jacksonville and the other fell overboard.
You jumped too fast.

I figured they probably did... however, in rough seas it would be very dangerous to be out in one, especially at night.

Of all the ways to commit suicide, why would someone want to intentionally drown themselves instead of a quick and painless method?

I remember reading this in a Reddit thread from someone who worked on a cruise ship. Basically said that if people realized how many people were just disappeared and were never seen again they'd never go on a cruise.

How the frick you fall off a boat of that size?
People are dumb. A few years ago my SIL got locked on a balcony while drunk and decided climbing over to the next cabin's balcony was a good idea. She's lucky this didn't happen to her.

Made the mistake of taking a Carnival ship out of New Orleans... Never again.
People freaking out the next morning when they went up top and no land to be seen for miles.

It's 2018 and cruise ships still can't detect when someone falls overboard?
They absolutely know when you "fall off". There are cameras covering the sides of the ships.
The bigger problem is the time it takes for these ships to slow down and make a U-Turn.
ETA: Obviously "U-turn" is a loose term.

every day the rescue team drills with them. They drop them fast. They are ready to go. If a person gets tossed a ring, I would think they could get to them in a few minutes.
With no ring, yeah it would be hard to survive, especially if knocked out by the fall.

Why would they do that? Wouldn't it be quicker to lower some sort of speeder to go get her? As hilarious as it is to imagine a big arse cruise ship hitting the breaks, turning around, and dropping a rope down 70 feet and hauling her up.

There is no reason for the ship to turn, they may cut forward speed.
Also on most cruises of over 5 days with over 1500 passengers on average at least one person dies of natural causes on every cruise.
The large ships even have somewhat of a morgue.

It's called a Williamson turn and it's definitely necessary. It kicks the stern away from the person overboard and allows for the ship to steady on the reciprocal course
