I have been on cruises before and I am going on another on very soon for three weeks. I agree with Suzy that I could see someone falling overboard. First of all the last cruise I was on we went to Ireland, Scotland and Wales and it got very windy on the upper pool decks. It was so windy we couldn't even get the door closed without my husbands help. There was a jacuzzi and pool right at the edge of our ship and I felt like I was going to blow right off the ship. I only weigh 98 lbs. The kids weigh even less. Or how about if a couple of guys got in a pushing fight on the balconey, or the kids push each other, or a guy pushes his girlfriend. Whatever the circumstances, if you are pushed you could fall over if you hit the balconey and the balconeys are not that high. Four feet is not high. I am always nervous of going over the balconey on a cruise. I am surprised more of it doesn't happen. How about that guy on his honeymoon who was never found, George? I am sure he was thrown over the balconey.
