The man jumped from the ship as it was slowly cruising off Vanuatu. He was seen jumping from the ship by a staff member. As the ship was going slowly it was able to turn around in about 10 minutes. Staff dropped smoke flares and a lifebuoy in the water to mark the spot. The 22 year old man was in the water some 45 minutes before being rescued and was always in sight. He was taken to Vila and left there in the interests of his emotional wellbeing. P & O Cruises are investigating the incident.

Discounts are the name of the game in today’s financially stressed marketplace.

RCI has introduced new procedures for the departure process. On departure days passengers will have extended access to their staterooms as well as continued in-stateroom TV entertainment. The line will give passengers an "As You Depart" notice which gives the location of departure lounges offering refreshments and light entertainment.

In the face of a declining economy, many industries are cutting back in both services and products to adapt to the changing times. This is not the case with Carnival Cruise Lines.
