Now everyone who knows me knows that I'm not a fan of Carnival at all, but this really isn't something that can be blamed on them. You can read the news story at ABC News for all of the details.
What I wanted to say here is that people falling overboard is really something that can plague any cruise line, but the reality is that it's' extremely difficult to go over the railings. You have to be extremely drunk to be able to do it accidentally and even then you need to be goofing off pretty good. I think, at least in my opinion, you really have to either want to go over or someone else has to want you to go over for someone to be overboard a ship.
We will see in the coming days/weeks what the security footage shows and see if these two either were victims of an awful crime, decided to take a suicide plunge together or were victims of a spectacular accident. Regards of what the situation, unless a railing failed, this is one case where Carnival will get bad press that it didn't deserve.
