Woman banned from cruise line for reckless selfie Posted on 18 October 2019 Tags:Caribbean, cruise line A passenger on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, Allure of the Seas, risked her life after climbing over the ship’s balcony railing to take a selfie. Peter Blosic, another passenger, saw the unidentified woman and snapped a photo of her as she was posing on the edge of the ship in her swimming costume. The woman has been referred to as an ‘absolute idiot’ by a number of media reports. Image credit: Peter Blosic Blosic wrote: ‘I showed the concierge. The staff captain then wanted to meet with me and get a copy of the photo. We easily determined the cabin number since it’s on the hump.’ The ship was travelling through the Caribbean and a spokesperson for Royal Caribbean later confirmed that the passenger was sent packing when the ship docked in Falmouth on the north coast of Jamaica. The cruise line has also banned her from sailing with the company for life due to her reckless behaviour. Royal Caribbean‘s website states that: ‘Sitting, standing, laying or climbing on, over or across any exterior or interior railings or other protective barriers, or tampering with ship’s equipment, facilities or systems designed for guest safety is not permitted.’ It adds that non-adherence to the rules could result in intervention by ship security, law enforcement or ‘removal from a ship at the next port of call’. Last year, the same cruise line banned another guest for life after he jumped from the 11th deck of the Symphony of the Seas cruise liner while the ship was docked: Related Posts Cape Town’s sustainability: Leading the way in environmental initiatives 1 June 2023 As National Environmental Month commences in South Africa, Cape Town stands proudly at the forefront... read more Kapama to host Safari Guide of the Year Awards 2023 1 June 2023 Kapama Private Game Reserve near Hoedspruit will host this year’s Safari Guide of the Year... read more Blood Lions relaunches for public viewing on YouTube 1 June 2023 Award-winning documentary feature film Blood Lions has been relaunched on YouTube for public viewing, creating... read more PREV ARTICLE NEXT ARTICLE
