Tragic Tour bus crash on the way to Chaccoben

[JayDeeJay]

have I missed the post? In the news today is the report of a tragic tour bus roll over out of Mahual, Costa Maya. So far they’ve reported 12 fatalities and 13 injured. Passengers on the bus are from two Royal Caribbean ships. We’ve been on that tour, the road is flat as an ironing board and straight as is someone drew the line with a ruler. Report says swerve marks were all over the road. Can’t imagine the cause. Watching for more info.

 

Prayers and best thoughts for everyone (and families) involved.

Tragic, too early for details but likely maintenance or distraction related. Prayers for all involved.

It's well covered on the Royal Caribbean board, Celebrity board, and Ask a Cruise Question. Member on Celebrity board lost a brother and sister-in-law. Fatalities were the tour guide and passengers from Equinox. Serenade of the Seas had four injured. EM

Yes it has been posted on several boards.

 

It mentioned Celebrity/RCI passengers.

 

Very sad.

While this accident is very sad, especially at Christmas time, I am appalled by the Mexico bashing comments posted on social media. We have done this tour and had a wonderful day. The area is very rural and the road and the bus we were on was in good shape when we went. We specifically booked 2 upcoming cruises (RCCL Liberty of the Seas in May 2018 and Carnival Vista in January 2019) because they are going to Costa Maya. It is one of my favorite ports, but of course you need to leave the pier to get the full experience.

The only acceptable response is to express condolences for the loss of the deceased, the injuries of the survivors, and the grief and shock of the families.

Oh please don't think you have the authority to tell anyone what an "acceptable response" is. This is a public board, any response within the guidelines of the TOA is "acceptable". :rolleyes:

Explain that to the Cruise Critic member who lost loved ones on that bus. I’m not engaging with you on this.

And yet you did. I don't need to explain anything to anyone.
