WHAT A BUNCH OF DUMBASSES.

They felt the need to do a friggin' piggy back that close to the ship's railing?

This latest incident happened the same time I was on my cruise (but on a different cruise line), so it was the talk of the ship. I had a balcony cabin, and I can tell you that there is no way you can "fall off a cruise ship." On all modern cruise ships, the balcony rails are too high. They're made of a thick clear plexiglass material with a wood rail on top so you can't even "fall through them". You would have to be sitting on the balcony rail, or you would have to intentionally jump or be thrown overboard. Even jumping would take some doing as most people would need a chair to even get on top of the rail. To give you an idea of the height, it came up to my shoulders.
