British woman saved 10 hours after falling off cruise ship

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-45240390

A British woman has survived after falling from a cruise ship off the coast of Croatia, the Foreign Office has said.

The country's coastguard said she was rescued 10 hours after falling into the Adriatic Sea - 60 miles off the coast - at around midnight on Saturday.

The 46-year-old, who had been on the Norwegian Star cruise ship, was taken to hospital in the nearby town of Pula.

She told reporters she fell off the back and was "lucky to be alive".

VERY lucky .....

Presumably she wasn't wearing a flotation aid .....

She was indeed very lucky. I do like a story with a happy ending.

Very lucky indeed.

I’m surprised at how well she looked after her ordeal...

I know this happens but how in goodness name does anyone fall off a cruise ship ?
People disappear off cruise ships too and are never seen again .
More than you would think .

During the time when I live I never the Carribean there was always some incident of cruise ship tourists being mugged and in some cases seriously hurt .
