Fishermen find Royal Caribbean cruise ship employee in water 20 miles off coast

A pianist fell overboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship. He was treading water for 9 hours before two fishermen saw him.

The water temperature was in the 70s due to El Niño. Normally it would be too cold for someone to survive.

A very fortunate outcome.

From my understanding people going overboard on cruise ships and never being seen again is relatively common and heavily covered up by the industry
