On Friday Royal Caribbean carried out their second rescue in the last two months, their ship Oasis of the Seas was on its way back to the port Everglades (South Florida) when they passed a small blue raft floating in the sea.

The captain turned around the 220,000 ton ship to rescue the six Cuban men and one Cuban women, when on board they received medical treatment and was given food and water.

In May the Royal Caribbean ship, Allure of the Seas rescued nine Cuban rafters while on a cruise.

Passengers on board were seen taking pictures and video's of the rescue.

“They had power to their little raft,” said Mike Hope, a cruise ship passenger. “They were able to move with the raft, and they actually came to the ship. The ship’s captain turned around the massive vessel to rescue the rafters at around 3pm Friday, who raised their hands in victory before they boarded the ship" Hope said.

The seven rescued Cubans were later transferred to the custody of US coast guard officials, their fate is in the hands of the US-Cuba Immigration Accord.

The rule is normally Cubans who reach American shores are allowed to stay, while Cubans found at sea are sent back. Commonly known as the 'wet-foot, dry-foot' policy.
