The Search for 2 Cruise Ship Passengers Ends Post by: Addison Norman


The Search for 2 Cruise Ship Passengers Ends
Post by: Addison Norman


            The search for two cruise ship passengers that were thought to have fallen overboard was called off Friday. At port in Sydney, Australia the two were reported missing after not claiming their luggage aboard the 10 day island cruise on the Carnival Cruise boat “Spirit.”  27-year-old Kristen Schroder and 30-year-old Paul Rossington were said to have gone overboard Wednesday after the ship’s surveillance cameras were evaluated. They were estimated to have fallen off the ship about 93 miles off the coast of New South Wales. New South Wales police and navy have searched around 1,360 square miles at sea, and then on Friday the search was called off. Also, this isn’t the only time Carnival has had major reports. Recently, a Carnival ship had an engine that failed while in the Gulf of Mexico and wasn’t moving for a while.
             This is scary to happen. It’s very important to be informed with these things especially when booking a vacation. Hopeful Carnival can increase the safety of their ships to lessen the risk of things like this happening.

  2. Carnival doesn't seem like a great ship to ride on with all of these things that are happening. I'm wondering the same thing did they jump or was it an accident.
