SINGAPORE – Monday was to have been the last day of their four-day cruise, with Mr Jakesh Sahani and Madam Reeta Sahani on their way back to Singapore from Penang aboard the Spectrum of the Seas.
But sometime in the middle of the night, Mr Jakesh, 70, woke up to find his wife missing from their room.
The retiree tried to locate his 64-year-old wife on the sprawling cruise ship but did not succeed, so he informed the ship’s crew, who later told him the ship’s overboard detection systems had been alerted that something had fallen from the vessel into the Singapore Strait.
Mr Jakesh’s son, Mr Apoorv Sahani, who was not on the cruise, recounted the episode in a phone call with The Straits Times on Monday night.
The 39-year-old architect said his family members, who are from India, are still in the dark about his mother’s current status.
In a flustered voice, he told ST that his mother could not swim, and that his father was made to go through an interview with the police that lasted a few hours.
“We’ve asked to see the CCTV footage, but so far we’ve not received anything yet for us to confirm that it was her. All we know is that the ship’s crew thinks she jumped,” he said.
“Eventually my father was told to get down from the ship because there was another cruise that was going to take place, but we think she may still be on the ship, stuck somewhere.”
Mr Apoorv added: “She was on a holiday enjoying herself and then this whole thing happened. It doesn’t make sense.”

cecas, especially the elderly, are the most thrifty passengers on cruise ships. most don’t drink (alcohol) so they don’t sign up and pay sextra for “beverage packages”, most don’t eat meat so they don’t sign up and pay for “specialty dining”, most are not internet and social media savvy (unlike their children) so they refuse to sign and pay for onboard wi-fi, most are stingy so they ignore and refuse to pay “crew gratuity” (tips) for service personnel who clean their cabins, and cook and serve them food. and to add insult to injury they leave a trail of trash and scum as everything which seems “free” like towels and blankets they grab not one but a bunch. for an elderly ceca to wake up in the middle of the night alone and wander the decks by herself, and inadvertently or accidentally fall over the rails and barriers is highly unlikely unless she is contemplating suicide. if these elderly desis in their long flowing saris can’t even walk straight and pee properly in an airplane aisle and toilet respectively, don’t sexpect them to be nimble, strong, and light enough like monkeys to climb over the balcony or barriers to jump. if they do they’ll most likely hit lower decks below with longer larger balconies and decks where lifeboats or tender or escape pods are located. only place to jump clear of obstacles is at the open promenade deck just below the lifeboats and tenders. and specifically on royal caribbean ships the only deck area where passengers have access and a chance of going overboard is a small section port and starboard below and just ahead of the lifeboats and tenders towards the bow. i’ll advise poodles to investigate the hubby first.
