Nick was enjoying with his friends on the Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas which is when he thought of doing something against the rules of the ‘cruise guest handbook’. While Nick jumped, his friends played party to it by making a video of it.
Though Nick escaped grave injuries, he could not escape the ban put on him and his friends from the Royal Caribbean cruises for life.
The manager of the Royal Caribbean’s corporate communications department spoke to Fox News and said, “this was stupid and reckless behaviour and he and his companions have been banned from ever sailing with us again.”
