How the hell did these two do it? It ain't that easy to fall off of a cruise ship.

Really drunk while out on the balcony and reinacting the "king of the world" scene from Titanic? Or maybe the one with Leo and Kate...I don't remember. Still...not an easy task one way or the other.

To answer all:
Sex, drugs, alcohol, playing around on the edge or any combination....
And yes, from what I have read, they did tread water all that time...

That's nothing...a guy was rescued just a few days earlier than these two after jumping out his window on a cruise ship and treading water for EIGHT hours!

Having just got back from a cruise and having a balcony room, I really would love to know how these two dummies managed to fall into the water. They must have been really plastered.
