Thread: If my cruise ship is close to the port - can I jump off the ship and swim to shore?

Assuming the weather is permitting. Thank you.

Well let's try retlin first.

surface tension will make impacting the water painful, you'll probably break something in the process.

Only if you like dying.

The cruise line's health and safety rules would forbid it. Mainly because you'd get sucked under the hull and minced by the screws.

I don't advise it but I suppose you could. But cruise ships are high off the sea, impacting the water might hurt or kill you.

I think that depends on whether you can swim and -

Wait, why is this question here?

Hahahaha - that ship would come UNGLUED! You'd have guys with ropes running in all directions!
