Royal Caribbean cruise ship saves 22 Cubans floating on raft as passengers cheer: report
Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas cruise ship reportedly has saved nearly two dozen people found floating on a raft between Key West and Cuba.
The rescue of the 22 individuals – identified by Fox10 Phoenix as Cubans – happened Thursday as the ship was making its way to a stop in the Bahamas.
“The captain of the ship came on the PA and announced that there was a small vessel, according to him, that they spotted and looked like it was signaling for distress,” Rich King, a traveler from Arizona onboard the ship, told the station.
