Alert – Two Carnival Cruise Line Passengers Go Overboard

In the space of 48 hours, Carnival Cruise Line has had two passengers go overboard. The incidents occurred on separate ships.

According to FOX:

The accident happened aboard Carnival Elation early Friday morning, when the woman plunged “several decks below,” according to a statement that Carnival Cruise Line spokesman Vance Gulliksen gave to the Miami Herald.

The ship was on a four-day Bahamas cruise from Jacksonville that departed on Thursday; the woman has not yet been identified.

“The ship’s medical team responded immediately, but, unfortunately, she passed away,” Gulliksen said in a statement.

The Times-Picayune reported on the second incident:

Carnival is searching for a passenger who went overboard from one of its cruise ships Sunday night (Jan. 21) in the Gulf of Mexico, according to a statement from the company. The 44-year-old woman was on the Carnival Triumph, which sails from New Orleans.

The ship was on its way to Cozumel on the second day of a five-day cruise. Carnival said search-and-rescue operations are underway and the company is providing support and assistance to the passenger’s family.
