A Royal Caribbean cruise ship pianist was miraculously rescued by fishermen after spending nine hours treading water in the Pacific Ocean, approximately 20 miles off the coast of California. The crew member fell overboard from the Ovation of the Seas, prompting a response that unfortunately did not issue an alert. Fishermen spotted him during their routine activity, bringing him to safety. Upon rescue, he expressed immense relief, stating, ‘Thank you. I thought I was gonna die.’ This incident has raised questions about safety protocols onboard cruise ships, leading to a preliminary investigation by the U.S. Coast Guard.
