A 44-year-old Salvadoran national was dramatically rescued by the Hellenic Coast Guard after spending a harrowing 20 hours adrift in the Ionian Sea, having gone overboard from the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Odyssey of the Seas near Zakynthos. The woman, found clinging to a lifebuoy in dark waters, was spotted by the cargo ship MSC Rossella III, which alerted authorities. Upon rescue, she reportedly stated she jumped because she “wanted to disembark.” Following her transfer to the port of Katakolo and subsequent hospitalization, a prosecutor ordered a psychiatric evaluation. This incident occurs amidst a backdrop of other high-profile overboard events, including a man who jumped from another Royal Caribbean ship last year to evade substantial gambling debts.
