Amazing rescue by the Disney Wonder
This was on our local news this am:
Passenger Rescued After Fall From Ship - Orlando News Story - WESH Orlando

Since the guy fell overbaord from that Carnival ship at 11pm, it's amazing that he was able to be rescued in the dark!

One of my greatest fears on a cruise was possibly falling over.

Now, why can't stories like this be splashed all over the national news??? Oh, right. It doesn't make big bad Disney look like a non-caring corporate enemy to the common man....

I found this on Central FL News 13 - it has some video too:
Carnival: Passenger Jumped Overboard - Central Florida News 13

Apparently his ship knew he "jumped" and went looking for him....
