An employee on Royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas was found in the Pacific Ocean after approximately nine hours in the water. Apparently, whatever they do to detect people going overboard did not detect this incident.

Wow! What an amazing stroke of luck for this guy.
We have had a couple of miraculous stories like this over the past few months along our coast. The water temperature is about 10 degrees warmer than normal.
I can only imagine the circumstances that led to his winding up in the water. And surely large amounts of intoxicants were involved.
Maybe regarding the intoxicants. I thought of this at first as well, given the 2:30am overboard which fits with the bars closing.
However, this man was the pianist so possibly on duty and performing at the bar until it closed.
Who knows? Glad he survived.

This was why I was dismayed when my musician was offered a position playing on a cruise ship, right after college. Fortunately, they very reluctantly chose another route (where they’re now very happy, doing extremely well). They did not want to believe me when I told them that there would likely be a very high level of alcohol consumption among the musicians on board.
