I don’t know. Do cruise liners suddenly lurch in a leaning fashion?
I ask because I’ve never been on a cruise before. I’ve been told that cruises can be nice.
They would have done a shipwide search. Unless he ended up in a quarters of another guest, they’ve ascertained that he’s not on the ship.
I think they also take roll call when leaving or getting on the ship.
We watch the series, “Cruise Ship Murders” (on Freevee, IIRC). People traveling alone do not fare well, plus, there’s nobody to miss them until sometimes days too late.
The weekend thing is that the issue is either nefarious (theft and murder) or suicide. It’s practically impossible to accidentally fall overboard with the railings at the height they’re required to be.
I’m surprised the don’t have outboard laser beams to react to a man overboard event.
My shitty garage door opener does.
On the Epstein list?
For those that don’t know, every passenger (and perhaps even crew members) have what is called a MEDALLION. It is tracking device that shows where you are at all time.
There are even screens near the elevator where you can do a search for your traveling companions, or you can order something and they will bring it to where ever you are.
You need this device to open you cabin door so you must have it when you leave your cabin.
They know where he was up and until he took off the medallion or went overboard.
Reminds me of a story on Alfred Hitchcock Presents I saw way back in 1958. Always stuck with me.
“Alfred Hitchcock Presents” Dip in the Pool (TV Episode 1958

Last November, I cruised on board the Ruby Princess. Every time you get off and on the boat you are checked out by the princess medallion. It’s an electronic disk worn on a lanyard, around your neck.
You can’t do anything on board without it. It opens your room, never needing a key or a card. It keeps your account information for drinks and food. It checks you onto the ship and off. We often joked about detecting anyone going overboard.
That is a good question. It makes sense that he might be there somewhere.
The Astonishing Tales of Costanza?
Actually a number of people suicide off cruise ships each year.
This really isn’t news.
