This is why you shouldn’t throw anything overboard from a cruise ship! #cruiseship #cruiselife

Someone asked why throwing a rock overboard from a cruise ship is a problem. The answer is simple: wind patterns at sea can shift suddenly, meaning objects can be blown back towards the ship. There have been real examples of this happening. On one Princess Cruises ship, a passenger threw a cigarette butt from an upper deck. The wind carried it back onto the balconies below, where it started a fire. What might seem like harmless fun can quickly become a serious safety risk. #princesscruiseship #cruisetips #cruisenews #cruisevlog
