Debris in the water caused MOB alert

Hours after departing Nassau, Bahamas, guests sailing aboard the 'Disney Wish' were alarmed when the secret emergency code for "man overboard" was broadcast throughout the ship on Aug 26, 2025, at around 8:00 p.m. The cruise ship began to slow down, and crew members launchedsearch and rescue efforts. They were throwing life rings over the port side of the ship, and at least two rescue boats were deployed. Eventually, all guests were asked to report to their muster stations, so the crew could conduct a headcount and identify potential witnesses. Everyone onboard had been accounted for. Still, all guests had to stay in their assigned assembly stations, even after their headcount was finished, until the entire ship was cleared. [The captain made an announcement on the morning, confirming that everyone was safe and said that it was most likely a large piece of debris in the water that was mistaken for a person. As consolation for the interruption of the events in the night, everyone was comped $150 to their accounts.
