No, not one has fallen overboard. I was just reading on deck when I overheard part of a training session for the crew that included what to do if you see someone fall off the ship. Just two things : yell "Man overboard!" and keep your eyes on the person in the water. Tell someone else (and keep yelling until someone else comes) to call the bridge to dispatch the rescue team, but keep your eyes on the victim. "As fast as we're going, if you lose sight of them, our chances of finding them again are much less."
Not just the streets of Rio where serious danger is right there next to me. One would have to do some fairly stupid things to fall off this ship, at least a passenger would. But yesterday morning I saw a guy climb up on the waist-high barrier around the observation deck below the Christ the Redeemer statue so his girlfriend could take his picture. Right above the several hundred feet of empty air. Right over the "Do not climb on barrier " sign in Portuguese and English.
