Where the offloading occurs is usually up to family preference..... Incorrect. There are major steps and family preference is not one of them. Depends on which jurisdiction it occurs. Unfortunately I know. Personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pia1913 Posted November 20, 2018 #133 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Thank you all for the outpouring of emails, responses, love and concern. I never intended for this thread to become personal, so please resume with the original subject. Of course, here in South Florida, the news is chock full of what happened on the Royal.My friends were on the ship when this occurred and are still on the ship. No further news coming from there.

If so the ship returned to Florida with a suspect on board, who walk off in Florida This is very sad for the family, friends and crew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, without knowing everything the police have discovered, and what they have not figured out - they may not have a suspect. For all we know.... not gonna start rumors... but there are things that MIGHT have taken place that may not result in a charge. Nobody here knows, that is for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrljel Posted November 22, 2018 #138 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Does anyone know anything more about this tragic situation? I've been trying to keep up with it just out of curiosity and seems like nothing more it seems like nothing more has evolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug R. Posted November 22, 2018 #139 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I just saw an interview with her children. She told them prior to the cruise that this may be the last time they see her. My guess is suicide or a remarkable gift to see the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTee Posted November 23, 2018 #141 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I don’t know why Aruba police were involved. I believe since it happened on the ship, the FBI takes over the investigation. Btw, Natalie Holloway wasn’t on a cruise. I have actually seen the morgue on a ship! I won’t tell more, because I don’t want anyone to get in trouble.

The casino is not on deck 16. The photo shows the starboard side of the ship and indicates the forward most life boat is #2. That is wrong. The boats on the starboard side have odd numbers while the ones on the port side have even numbers. The Mail is notorious for irresponsible reporting.

OTOH, the ship may well have already been in Aruban waters at the time which certainly would give Aruba jurisdiction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are too few facts for any of us to know exactly what happened. Sometimes it’s what authorities are not saying that is a clue. In this case her children’s statements could be an indication that she was suicidal. The lack of facts being released by authorities could be another indication of it being a suicide. It’s an awful situation for her family & friends and they may prefer to keep the results of the investigation private if it’s a suicide. Hopefully this won’t be another poor investigation by Aruba like the Natalie Holloway death. This isn’t a one hour crime show & it might take awhile to get more facts in the case. Too much of the reporting is based on passenger’s experiences which are mostly rumors & not investigative facts. After the investigation is completed we might learn more facts & their conclusions about what happened on that tragic night...homicide, accidental or suicide.

OTOH, the ship may well have already been in Aruban waters at the time which certainly would give Aruba jurisdiction. The FBI does not have jurisdiction but will be notified. In 2010, Congress passed the Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act (CVSSA) with the support of the cruise industry. In addition to various operational and structural requirements to enhance shipboard security and safety, the CVSSA codified the industry’s 2007 agreement for reporting of serious incidents on cruises to or from the United States, and dramatically increased penalties for non-reporting. The CVSSA also requires that passengers shall have available contact information for the appropriate law enforcement authorities. All passengers and crew must have access to information regarding the locations of the U.S. embassy and consulate in each country the vessel will visit during the course of the voyage. In addition to the CVSSA requirements, CLIA’s members have adopted a policy that all passengers and crew are to be provided the means and assistance to contact law enforcement authorities. In addition, cruise ships sailing to or from the U.S. are required by the CVSSA to record all complaints of crimes and thefts over $1,000 in a log that is subject to inspection by law enforcement officials. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukesubsailor Posted November 23, 2018 #146 Share Posted November 23, 2018 We don't know if it was a murder, a suicide, or just a drunken accident. Maybe we don't need to know. Which ever the case, I certainly will not let this unfortunate incident deter me from taking a cruise or getting a balcony cabin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody who has been on the Amazing Ship's Tour has seen it as well as a number of other "behind the scenes" places. It's not a big secret.

Other than a statement that the couple had gone on the cruise to work on their marriage, I saw nothing that offered any sort of hint of guilt for her spouse. Not even the children cast any suspicions on their father's involvement. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On at least one ship's behind the scenes tour i took, when the cold room used as a morgue is not needed for such, the ship's florist kept his fresh flowers in that room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
