There have been other recent cruise incidents

This incident is not the first time someone has recently gone overboard during a cruise vacation. The New York Post reported that a 48-year-old woman, returning to Florida on a Princess Cruises ship, had died Saturday after she tried to dive overboard. The incident happened after an eight-day trip in the Caribbean.

“Princess Cruises is deeply saddened to confirm the passing of a 48-year-old female guest who attempted to jump overboard earlier today,” the cruise line told Cruise Radio.

“The guest fell to a lower deck, where she was promptly rescued. Shipboard personnel immediately provided emergency medical care, but despite their best efforts, she could not be revived,” the statement continued.
