In 2019 Bruce Campbell was playing bingo onboard the Carnival Sunshine when he suffered a stroke. He was originally sent to a hospital in Freeport, Bahamas but they didn’t have the medical facilities to treat him. At the time of the eruption, there were reportedly 47 people on the island and 19 people were killed, most on Royal Caribbean’s excursions. It’s a maritime tradition that the captain always goes down with his ship. Meaning that the captain should make sure that everybody else is off the ship before they disembark. I’ve cruised with Costa since the event and many people still refuse to cruise with the cruise line because of this accident.
Top lawyer died after falling from balcony on luxury cruise ship
In a statement, Carnival Cruise Line said they were sad to share that they had had an incident Monday night. The ship had been returning to the Sunshine State from Ocean Cay in the Bahamas when tragedy stuck, the outlet reported. The ship was carrying nearly 3,000 guests and 1,441 crew when it arrived in Belize.
Man glassed in the face after telling woman she looked like she was 43
One woman has died and 10 others were injured after a shuttle bus crashed into the transportation area outside a Honolulu cruise terminal Friday, according to police. Analysis of ship CCTV later found footage of an object – which appeared to be a person ‘feet first’ – falling from the ship near to Mr Blythe-Tinker’s cabin balcony and hitting the water. Her untimely death comes after James Michael Grimes last month fell off a Carnival Cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico and spent 20 hours treading water before he was miraculously rescued. Texas is one of several states that bans businesses from requiring a "vaccine passport", or proof a person has been vaccinated.
Carnival passenger dies after contracting Covid, the 1st death since cruises resumed in June
Passenger Laine Doss said she was on board when the captain announced the deaths on the vessel's P.A. It said it was investigating the suspicious death of a female passenger who was unresponsive and was subsequently declared dead on the ship. He was cruising with his wife at the time and they didn’t have the necessary funds to get him back to America. Amazingly an anonymous donor donated the $20,000 needed for Bruce to be flown back to the US for treatment.

If you’re interested in cruise ship murders I recommend you watch the series Cruise Ship Killers. The show has changed the names of the people involved but the murders are real. An argument broke out just before midnight in their cabin on the 13th deck. Her partner Eric has admitted that he strangled her and pushed her over the balcony. It’s worth noting that guns are not allowed on cruise ships under any circumstances and as a result, most murders are either stabbings or involve pushing the victim into the ocean. 200 deaths out of 30,000,000 yearly passengers equate to 1 in 150,000 guests.
We were first notified on the day of the accident by a guest on the Allure of the Seas who stated that Mr. Rucker’s body was brought aboard the Royal Caribbean cruise ship shortly before the ship left Roatan. Authorities say she had been onboard the cruise ship MSC Meraviglia. According to reports, the woman had fallen overboard about 20 miles off the coast of Port Canaveral—one of the busiest cruise ports in the world—on Thursday.

Now you go to the bow, you climb up the emergency ladder and coordinate the evacuation. You must tell us how many people, children, women and passengers are there and the exact number of each category,” said officials to Francesco Schettino. On some cruise lines, you will find lifeguards but this isn’t mandatory and not all cruise lines have them. Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line have recently added lifeguards but Princess cruises are one cruise line that doesn’t have lifeguards on duty. It goes without saying that you shouldn’t EVER try to climb on, or around, cruise ship balconies.

Cruise ship accidents, injuries, crimes, disappearances, fires, and collisions on the high seas involve issues of maritime law. Jim Walker graduated from law school in 1983 and has been handling maritime law cases for the past thirty-five years. He handles a wide variety of cases from serious injuries to the highest profile sexual assault and cruise crime cases. "We are actively providing support and assistance to the guest's loved ones at this time. Out of the privacy of the guest and their family, we have nothing further to share at this time," the spokesperson said. "A guest sailing on board Serenade of the Seas has sadly passed away," a Royal Caribbean spokesperson said in a statement.
Four other tourists "sustained non-life-threatening injuries" and were treated onboard, the cruise line said. State Department spokesperson confirmed the death and offered condolences to the family. The ship crossed through Mexico, the Caribbean, Brazil, Peru and Ecuador on its South America leg in January.
In reality, it wasn’t the fault of Costa cruise line but that of a severely negligent captain. In 2019 a 16-year-old boy died when he tried to climb across outdoor balconies after losing his room key. Sadly this isn’t an isolated incident with many other people also meeting the same fate. In the above video he explains what happened and how he is trying to rebuild his life for his family.
Serenade of the Seas left Miami on Dec. 10, 2023, on the Ultimate World Cruise, a 274-night, seven-continent voyage that stops at 60 countries and 11 world wonders. "Unfortunately, despite the rapid rescue operation, the passenger sustained fatal injuries." The woman, who hasn't yet been identified, was retrieved from the water about 18 miles offshore on Thursday morning, according to the Miami-based U.S. Coast Guard's (USCG) 7th District. Several passengers on board have been consistently documenting the journey on TikTok, sharing a peek into life at sea.
Murders are usually committed by a person that the victim knows and the majority of cruise ship murders involve arguments that escalate or a previous history of abuse. The passenger, who has not been identified, fell onto another person, Insider reported. The spokesperson for Virgin Voyages said in their statement that the second person was not seriously injured. A worker on the cruise ship allegedly told a passenger that the woman had jumped, according to TMZ, which had not verified the comment or the possible suicide. The cruise liner recently updated its Covid-19 policy and implemented a mask mandate on Aug. 7 for passengers in elevators and in designated indoor entertainment areas, retail shops and in the casino. It also began requiring that fully vaccinated guests provide a negative coronavirus test prior to boarding.
