Man Falls of Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship
It’s the quickest way to end your sailing – falling off a Royal Caribbean cruise ship.
That happened to a man on Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas late Sunday night.
The ship, which departed from Barcelona hours earlier, was diverted for a search and rescue mission after a man went overboard.
They found the man who went overboard and brought him back on the ship.
On Monday, the guest was debarked for his stunt.
We tried contacting Royal Caribbean for a statement, but they did not respond at the broadcast time.
