What's Up with Cruise Passengers?

All of a sudden we are hearing about cruise ship passengers falling overboard. Have people gotten more stupid or have cruise ships just started reporting it?

Just this week two passengers on two separate Carnival ships fell overboard. One is still lost in the Gulf of Mexico and presumed dead. No one saw him go over but a cruise staff member heard a big splash. In the other case the passenger climbed up on a railing for a better view and fell overboard. He was rescued. If they keep this up all of railing and balconies will be replaced with floor to ceiling bars like cages.
