Royal Caribbean cruise saves people stranded on a raft at sea
Multiple people rescued by luxury cruise ship after being stranded at sea
- A Royal Caribbean cruise ship, Enchantment of the Seas, rescued 12 people from a raft at sea.
- The ship had altered its five-day Bahamas itinerary to avoid Tropical Storm Imelda, sailing instead to Mexican ports.
- Crew members spotted the distressed group signalling for help on the evening of Sunday 28 September.
- The 12 individuals were brought aboard, provided with medical care and water, and the Mexican coastguard was contacted.
- This incident follows a similar event earlier this year where another Royal Caribbean ship, Brilliance of the Seas, rescued 11 people in the Gulf of Mexico.
