The cruise line said they had just eaten dinner but the ship had only left the dock four hours before .Difficult but not impossible to get that drunk so fast.

I’m not understanding why her family thinks foulplay when she was alone?
I caught part of this story on Greta last night (during timeout’s in the Cav’s game) so I probably missed some info.

"Difficult but not impossible" to get drunk enough to fall off a balcony in four hours? Maybe if you're drinking light beer ...

In most cases, the person who falls is drunk and climbing something. I’ve been on two cruise ships and the railings come up to my chest. They’re just too high for people to “lose their balance” and fall over them.

Cruise ships start boarding passengers around 1-2 pm. Many ships greet you with a glass of bubbly. As soon as I get on board, I stop by my cabin, then head around the ship. They serve food and alcohol as you await the departure.

There is a big party winding down as you leave, but then another starts elsewhere. Booze flows.

I don't drink much. I get a buzz from just being around some of these folk! She had more than enough time to be drunk, or she was possibly just stupid.

MY inquiring mind doesn't really care! "It is appointed..."

If she’s attempting to climb from balcony to balcony, she’s doing it for a reason. I’m thinking she’s trying to avoid Jorge. She tells him she’s not feeling well and she’s going to bed, he goes off to meet friends in room nearby. She doesn’t want to make any noise slipping out her cabin door....

Also, I would think though that she would have to have known or met whoever was staying in the room of the other balcony. Not sure I’d be jumping onto a stranger’s balcony. Unless, of course, I was extremely desperate... for whatever reason.
