Maybe her folks might believe it....

OMG, as if ANYONE would believe that story!!

Huh? Leapfrog over a guy just standing on the balcony? Even if he was short and she was a gymnast, this defies believability.

i can't believe People would publish such a crock!!! I gotta got get one and read it. That is far from the story we were told by an officer on the ship!!! Leapfrogging, egads! Olga Korbut no less!

2 rescued in Gulf after falling off Grand Princess

cruisin chick, I think you are right about Princess and the "dark side" trying to hush up this story. Unfortunately all cruise lines and the "dark side" do try to hush-up a lot of what can and does happen while on a cruise ship. Thank heavens for CLF!

It is a great thing that these two idiots were rescued but isn't it strange how Princess now considers the matter closed with no questions answered as to how this happened because Princess wanted to protect the rights of these two idiots.
I didn't see Princess or anyone else say anything about the rights of the 2,000 or so passengers who had their sleep interrupted and lost the whole morning in their first port.
Obviously the ship had to try and rescue them and maybe it is just me, but shouldn't they be looking at some kind of punishment for all the trouble and expense that they have caused?

cruiser2007, if you look further back on this thread, you will see that other people posted similar cooments just a few days after this happened. I suspect that Princess is taking the high road until they are sure that they are blameless, due to the aftermath of the George Smith case.
