The woman who went overboard from Carnival Liberty last Friday was actually the second person of the week to go overboard from a US-based cruise ship. The first was a 36-year-old man traveling by himself, who apparently wanted to be sure he wouldn’t be discovered missing until he had been in the water too long to survive.
It was eventually discovered on video that the man went overboard from his stateroom balcony at 12:45am on May 11.
The complete story appeared in the May 16 edition of Cruise News Daily.
