The footage filmed by a friend shows a smiling Naydev stand up on the balcony's railing and pause briefly before jumping into the blue waters below as someone laughs. The video doesn't capture him hitting the water.
He later posted that his neck and tailbone hurt after the jump.
“This was stupid and reckless behavior and he and his companions have been banned from ever sailing with us again,’’ Royal Caribbean spokesman Owen Torres said in an email to the Sun Sentinel.“We are exploring legal action.” He called the incident extremely dangerous.
