Have You Ever Heard of 'Mr. Mob' on a Cruise?
This is a special code. When the ship's loudspeaker announces it, the ship stops suddenly. Crew members quickly get ready to help. It doesn't mean the ship is in trouble, though. It's a signal that they found a small boat in trouble on the sea. The crew gets a rescue boat ready and goes to check it out. They throw a rope to help the people on the troubled boat. They bring them safely onto the cruise ship. The small boat can't be kept, so the crew marks it as abandoned. This way, nobody searches for the people later. After that, the Coast Guard is being informed to come and take care of the people. So, 'Mr. Mob' means “man overboard". It’s like saying 'someone needs help in the water!'

In addition to distress signals like Mayday and pan-pan, most vessels, especially passenger ships, use some emergency signals to alert the crew on board.

What does 'man overboard' mean?
"Man overboard" is the maritime term for when a person of either gender has fallen off the ship and needs rescue. When a man overboard situation happens, cruise ship captains and staff go into emergency mode to try to save the passenger or crew member who is in danger.

How do cruise passengers fall off ships?
Most people do not "fall" off ships, as railings are purposefully built high enough to prevent accidents. The ship's security cameras frequently indicate evidence that man overboard situations are intentional. (If they do fall, it's because they've climbed onto a railing or somewhere else they shouldn't be.)
