Woman dies from fall on cruise ship in Gulf
48-year-old woman died from a fall on a cruise ship operated by Carnival
Corp., the company said.
The woman, whose name was not released by the cruise line, was seen
jumping
from one of the ship's upper outside
decks and landing on a cabin balcony today, the Miami-based company said
in
a news release.
The ship, called the Carnival Conquest, was concluding a seven-day
Caribbean
cruise that made stops in Montego
Bay, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. It returned to Galveston on Sunday. The
company said the woman was travelling
with her spouse. Carnival did not provide any other details.
Cruise passenger John Bayer, of Purmela, said he could see the woman lying
three levels below where he was on the
ninth level. He said he did not see the woman's fall, which he said
occurred
about 3 p.m. as the ship was entering the
Gulf of Mexico. Carnival said it has notified authorities. The U.S. Coast
Guard did not immediately return phone calls
seeking details of its investigation.
It has to be the booze. No other reasonable explanation for people jumping
overboard. Ban the booze and people won't be dying during a cruise.
Its that simple.
