RCByrd Posted May 5, 2007 #1 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I was on my balcony on the Sovereign of the Seas the morning of May 2nd in Nassau when a hearse pulled up to the Elation docked beside us, and a body draped in red was carried off while passengers were reboarding on the same gangway. Does anyone have any information on the circumstances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peery5 Posted May 5, 2007 #3 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I was on my balcony on the Sovereign of the Seas the morning of May 2nd in Nassau when a hearse pulled up to the Elation docked beside us, and a body draped in red was carried off while passengers were reboarding on the same gangway. Does anyone have any information on the circumstances? If I read correctly, it was a 35 y.o. male who was snorkeling. They don't know if he drowned or had a heart attack or stroke. Very sad. Apparently his wife and child[ren] were up the beach away from him and someone told them. I can imagine that emergency medical assistance out of the U.S. is not very good, especially in Caribbean ports of call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPete Posted May 5, 2007 #5 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Didn't I read somewhere there's an average of 2 deaths on every cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainEdwardJohnSmith Posted May 5, 2007 #6 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Didn't I read somewhere there's an average of 2 deaths on every cruise?

MrPete Posted May 5, 2007 #7 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I can imagine. It's the only downside to those LONGER cruises. We were on a 12 day to Hawaii, and I would say yours had spring chickens compared to mine! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
