On Saturday (09/06/12) Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas picked up Cuban refugees floating on a raft in the Atlantic Ocean. The ship also stopped to check out a second raft that turned out to be empty.
The pick up, of five refugees, was initially reported by WSVN News 7 in Miami. According to the TV station, the group was given food and water and then transferred to a U.S. Coast Guard ship.
Members of Cruise Critic posted comments in relation to a 2nd raft of refugees also being assisted by the Cruise Ship.
"It actually happened twice on the same day," wrote one member of the Cruise Forum.
Another Member also said they "did get to see the action from our balcony on the second raft they found."
Passengers on the Cruise also watched the refugees depart from Allure of the Seas to board the Coast Guard ship.
