WORLD’S LARGEST CRUISE BOAT RESCUES 14 PEOPLE

The crew of the new world’s largest cruise ship rescued 14 people clinging to a small boat adrift on the ocean. The new Icon of the Seas was headed for Honduras from Miami when they encountered the small vessel “adrift and in need of assistance.” The people on the tiny craft waved a large white flag. The liner turned around and launched a small zodiac-type rescue boat to investigate and transfer the 14 people, who had been stranded at sea for eight days. The Icon of the Seas can host 5,610 guests and 2,350 crew members. The ship has 2,850 staterooms, 18 guest decks and seven swimming pools.
* But, being a cruise ship, they did make the 14 people wait in the casino.
* I hope they weren’t trying to get away from Honduras.
* Did any of those 5,610 guests look at those poor people in the boat, then look around at the cruise ship and think, “What’s wrong here?”
* If not for the courage of the fearless crew, those people would be lost. Those people would be lost.
