SOCIAL NETWORKING HAS PROVIDED PLENTY OF
material for media tracking the downfall
of a popular US hip-hop artist who was
arrested for drug possession after
disembarking a cruise ship in Miami.
The curiously named Big Boi – who’s
apparently half of an equally odd duo
called Outkast, was reportedly found
carrying ecstasy and other illegal drugs.
And the 36-year-old also apparently
had some illicit Viagra to help things
along too.
Police reports initially didn’t name the
ship involved, but media quickly resorted
to Big Boi’s Twitter and Foursquare feed,
which tracked the ports he’d called at
during his Caribbean holiday.
This led them to the inescapable
conclusion, by matching published
itinerary details, that it was Carnival
Cruise Lines’ Carnival Valor.
CRUISERS LEARNING TO DIVE WHILE ON THEIR
voyages could be lucky enough to win a
“Golden Ticket” to visit the Great Barrier
Reef off the coast of Queensland.
Global diving operator PADI has
announced the promotion as part of the
celebration of its 20 millionth certification
which is expected to be issued at some
stage in the next two months.
The 20 millionth diver (and their
instructor) registered with PADI anywhere
in the world – including its many cruise
ship operations – will receive a fully paid
trip, including airfares, to dive the reef.
