A woman went overboard on the Mad Decent Boat Party last week, cutting the cruise short and cutting scheduled performances, as well as a stop in Mexico. Tickets were on average around $1,000 a piece, and though festival organizers promised refunds – they’ve turned out to be a whopping $57.47. Reps for the festival as well as the Norwegian Cruise Line tell TMZ that the amount refunded is simple, as it’s the cost of the cancelled excursion plus port taxes. To be fair, they still got a 4 day cruise.
Woman Goes Overboard At Mad Decent Boat Party
According to tweets from a user on board, a woman went overboard on the Mad Decent Boat Party last night. The boat, The Norwegian Pearl, was 22 miles off the coast of Cuba in the midst of the 4-day EDM party cruise. A search and rescue immediately began with both boats on board and helicopters, but the woman has not yet been located. In a statement released to the Sun Sentinel, Norwegian Cruise Line said that the woman was seen “intentionally going overboard while the ship was sailing the Yucatan Channel.”
