Losing your room key isn’t a problem at all, lots of people do it, and if you do you just need to go to reception to get a new card issued to you. Cruise ships are incredibly safe and the safety of passengers and crew is the primary concern for all. In 2015 Darla J Mellinger was murdered onboard Holland America’s Ryndam by her husband.

A ship doctor was dispatched to check on him, but he told the doctor he’d had ‘no suicidal thoughts’ and was physically well apart from back pain. Ship staff found his cabin empty with his clothes ‘neatly folded’ on the bed after his family’s ‘desperate attempts’ to contact him failed. A local newspaper in Texas commented that Mr.Rucker, known as “Eddie,” was a beloved father of four children and the loving husband to his wife Laura. TMZ posted photos of yellow caution tape across a balcony on the ship. The Viking Polaris was launched in 2022 and is the newest ship in the company's fleet.

A lawyer who disappeared from a Mediterranean cruise ship died after falling from his cabin’s balcony, a judge has found. “Unfortunately, despite the rapid rescue operation, the passenger sustained fatal injuries. We are offering our full support to authorities as they investigate this matter,” the agency said in a statement. The accident occurred on March 15th when Mr. Rucker dove from an elevated structure into the water below.

On Sunday, the Asia Pacific leg of the voyage began; the ship will pass through Hawaii, Polynesia and Australia. From there, it will continue to other major destinations, including South Korea, Japan, India, the United Arab Emirates and Greece. The trip takes passengers across the seas over 274 nights to all seven continents, over 60 countries and 11 world wonders, including the Taj Mahal in India and the Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil. "All of us at Holland America Line are deeply saddened by this event," the cruise line said.

Out of respect for them, we won’t provide any further comment,” Royal Caribbean said in a statement. These rare killer waves were once seen as a myth reported by mariners or explorers. The polar explorer Ernest Shackleton wrote in his book of a "gigantic" freak wave he encountered in Antarctica in 1916. The FBI said it investigates "suspicious deaths" of U.S. citizens as well as "certain crimes on the high seas." Officials have not disclosed the identity of the passenger or an official cause of death. MSC Cruises said it's now cooperating with authorities investigating the incident and has extended its condolences to the family of the victim and those affected.

"We are deeply saddened by this loss of life and our hearts and thoughts are with this person's loved ones." It is incredibly important that you have travel insurance for any cruise. Onboard medical expenses are very expensive and costs can quickly add up if passengers need to be airlifted off the ship. I’ve been on a couple of cruises where the ship has had to make extra called to drop off passengers who were unwell. The ship, Carnival Miracle, was on a 15-day journey, departing Long Beach, California, on April 6, according to Carnival Cruise Line. Several people indicated that other accidents, including “multiple deaths in the same area,” had happened and that there should be warnings to prevent similar accidents in the future.

In 2020 an increased number of crew members committed suicide during the coronavirus crisis. In may 2020,  5 crew members committed suicide on board cruise ships. Most jumped to their deaths and some hung themselves in cabin bathrooms. We heard an announcement in our cabin and our next port stop was canceled so that we could search for the missing man. A number of other cruise ships also came from close by to join the search.

Francesco decided to change the route of the cruise ship which caused the accident. The ship sailed closer to land than she normally would and as a result, she overturned. 32 people lost their lives and captain Francesco was charged with manslaughter and sentenced to 16 years in prison.

The company also said it is working closely with local officials as an investigation gets underway into the circumstances surrounding the passenger's death. MIAMI — Two crew members died on board a Holland America cruise ship, and a fire broke out on a Carnival ship while both of the ships were in the Bahamas this weekend, officials said. Carnival Cruise Line said Tuesday that "all indications" are a passenger died of a medical condition and that it continues to cooperate with authorities. Many people die each year on cruises although the exact number isn’t known. The majority die from natural causes or accidents but there are a few who are murdered or commit suicide.

Carnival said Tuesday that since it started sailing again in July, more than 95 percent of guests have been vaccinated. According to The New York Times, the passenger was a 77-year-old woman from Oklahoma who died on Aug. 14. "We are very sorry to hear about the death of a guest who sailed on Carnival Vista," Carnival said in a statement. "We have continued to provide support to her family and are not going to add to their sadness by commenting further."

News 6 spoke with a passenger aboard the ship, who said the cruise line made an announcement urging passengers to donate blood. The teen fell Saturday aboard Allure of the Seas, which left the port on Friday and traveled to the Bahamas before returning to Florida on Monday. "The crew performed an immediate search and rescue operation, alongside the U.S. Coast Guard who supported search efforts with boats and a helicopter," the statement said.

The passenger fell shortly after departure Sunday as the ship went to Roatan, Honduras. "There was an accidental steam release in an engineering space on board Nieuw Amsterdam, which sadly resulted in the death of two crew members," the cruise line said. As mentioned above some passengers do get injured, or die as a result of their activities when in port or on land. Cruise ship and organized excursions are usually very safe but it’s impossible to remove all risks from every activity. There are approximately 30 million people who took a cruise in 2019. Assuming that each took a cruise for one week that means that there are around 500 thousand guests at sea at any one time.

The Ultimate World Cruise has piqued the interest of a corner of TikTok, with some users comparing the voyage to a reality TV show experience. Users have pointed out that with so much time at sea, much can happen, including relationships, fights, pregnancy and deaths. A guest aboard a nine-month Royal Caribbean cruise around the globe has died, the company said Tuesday. She took a world cruise annually and died shortly after visiting the port of Honolulu in Hawaii.
