Majesty of the Seas Crew Member overbaord
While passengers going overboard from cruise ships have become less of an unusual occurrence then before, two reports over the past three weeks of crew members suffering similar fates raises eyebrows. Most recently, at 4:30 a.m. today was the temporary disappearance of 31-year-old Robert Mado, an assistant purser aboard RCCL Royal Caribbean's Majesty of the Seas was seen jumping off the stern of the ship as it sailed off the coast of southern Florida. The crewmembers who witnessed the jump initiated a distress call, the Coast Guard was contacted, and a joint air-sea search by the Coast Guard and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue began. Two hours later, Mado was rescued in seemingly good condition (according to a statement from Royal Caribbean) and was transferred to Miami Jackson Memorial Hospital for further evaluation.
