Fall causes boat's return

A cruise ship headed to the Bahamas had to return to port in central Florida after a young child was injured in a fall aboard ship. Royal Caribbean officials say the 14-month-old from India fell aboard the Monarch of the Seas on Friday. The ship left Port Canaveral that day for a Bahamas cruise. Cruise line officials say the child initially received medical treatment on board the ship but needed to be hospitalised. The ship turned around and returned to Florida, where the child was taken to a hospital. This is why you need to watch your children at all times especially at 14 months. But at the same time, it would have been faster, cheaper, and safer to just fly a helicopter out to the ship (or just have one on board ready and waiting) so as not to punish everyone for one parent not managing their children appropriately. The parents should be made to reimburse everyone on board for the lost days of the cruise. In other news, an Adelaide United supporter guilty of racially abusing Wellington Phoenix star Paul Ifill during an A-League match has been banned from Football Federation Australia (FFA) controlled matches for two years. The FFA released a statement today saying the unnamed man breached the organisation's Spectator Code of Behaviour by racially abusing the England-born former Barbados international when the Phoenix played Adelaide at Hindmarsh Stadium last Sunday.
