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.
Almarosa Tenorio Murdered on The Royal Princess
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.
Crew Suicides and Coronavirus
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.

The ship returned to Miami early Monday morning but has since resumed its voyage with slight changes to the itinerary. The Seven Seas Mariner was the first cruise liner to boast ‘all suite, all balcony’ cabins, with every cabin featuring its own private balcony. "We are supporting the guest's family and others who witnessed the situation. With respect for the privacy of all involved, we will not say any more, but ask that you keep the family in your thoughts and prayers."
Cruise Ship Deaths – Murders
Crew members and medical staff on Carnival's Sunshine ship, which was traveling from Charleston, South Carolina, to Nassau, Bahamas, responded to an unresponsive female passenger on Feb. 27, the FBI said Monday. Medical personnel attempted life-saving measures, but the woman was pronounced dead on the ship, the FBI said. A passenger has died while on board a Royal Caribbean ship that left Miami for a nine-month "Ultimate World Cruise," the company said Tuesday.
There are relatively few sources that provide accurate death statistics for cruise lines. Accidents, suicides, and murders are well reported but deaths from natural causes are often missed from the figures. The website CruiseShipDeaths.com records many of the deaths that happen on cruise ships including deaths of crew members. There are many sources which quote 200 as the number of cruise ship deaths each year. The real number is likely to be higher as not all cruise lines and countries share their death statistics.
Cruise Ship Deaths – Natural Causes
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.

Need support?
The vessel "was immediately redirected back to Miami, where the team are working closely with local officials," the spokesperson added. The ship has since resumed its sailing with an adjusted itinerary, including a missed port of call in Roatan. The cruise line said a technical team determined the ship sustained enough damage that it will need repairs before it can be returned to scheduled cruises. The funnel was stabilized, passengers were expected to be returned to Port Canaveral, and the ship will set off to Freeport for repairs, it said. The passenger died Feb. 27 on a trip on the Carnival Sunshine to Nassau, Bahamas, the FBI said in a statement Sunday.

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.
"A guest sailing on board Serenade of the Seas has sadly passed away," a Royal Caribbean spokesperson said in a statement to NBC News. "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." Virgin Voyages said the incident happened shortly after the cruise ship's departure. The company has not provided details about what may have caused the guest's fall. A Virgin Voyages passenger died after falling from a balcony on the line's Valiant Lady ship, the cruise line said Monday.
News of the death comes weeks after it was reported that 27 people aboard the ship had contracted Covid-19. The Belize Tourism Board said after the Carnival Vista arrived in the country, the ship reported that 26 crew members and one passenger had tested positive for the virus. All of the people infected had been vaccinated, the board said in a press release. Last week, a father of four cruising on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship died in Roatan during a stop in that port after he dove into the water from an elevated structure of a pier. Virgin Voyages confirmed that the cruise ship was "immediately redirected back to Miami" after the incident.
Sadly there are a number of people who decide to end their lives on cruise ships, mostly by jumping from the ship. It’s inevitable that with so many people taking a cruise, some will die onboard. The majority will die from natural causes but not all are as innocent.
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.
Passengers scheduled for those late-March cruises are being offered full refunds and credit that can be used for a future cruise, it said. Passenger Heath Barnes said the ship was on a detoured path, destined for an unscheduled stop in Freeport, as a result of stormy weather and high winds when fire started. The ship set sail out of Fort Lauderdale on March 16 for a seven-night trip. "We were celebrating the last day of the cruise," she said, when the mood changed "to something extremely somber." A representative of the Bahama’s Coroner’s Court did not immediately respond to a request for information, such as the crew members’ identities and the cause and manner of death.
