Royal Caribbean International says it’s issued a lifetime ban for a man who jumped off a cruise ship in the Bahamas.
The Sun Sentinel reports that Nick Naydev of Vancouver, Washington, posted the video on Instagram last week showing him standing on the balcony of the Symphony of the Seas and jumping off. In the comments section, the man estimated that he jumped from the 11th-story deck, more than 100 feet (30 meters) above the water’s surface.
Naydev says he and his friends were kicked off the ship and had to fly back to Miami. He says he was sore for several days after the jump but didn’t report any serious injuries.
A Royal Caribbean spokesman called the incident extremely dangerous and confirmed the lifetime ban. The company says it’s also exploring legal action.

Reb Huju,
To answer your question,it’s posted on ywn as click bait so dummies like you can watch and comment on it.
Its newsworthy because several times a year we read about women who “fall” off these cruise ships with the possible assistance of their husbands/boyfriends. This is the first time we’ve read about a GUY “falling” without varbeshe assistance.
