Key Points:
- A 44-year-old Salvadoran woman was rescued after spending 20 hours in the Ionian Sea clinging to a lifebuoy, following her jump from the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Odyssey of the Seas near Zakynthos, Greece.
- The cargo ship MSC Rossella III spotted the woman and alerted Greek Coast Guard authorities, who then rescued her and transported her to a hospital in Katakolo for a psychiatric evaluation.
- The woman reportedly jumped from the ship because she "wanted to disembark," according to a Coast Guard spokesperson.
- This incident follows a similar case last year where a man jumped from another Royal Caribbean ship to avoid gambling debt but was later detained by U.S. authorities.
- Royal Caribbean has not yet commented on the recent rescue.
