The 52-year-old woman, described only as a “female guest” on the Royal Princess from the U.S., died under unclear circumstances. The ship was on a seven-day round-trip Southern Caribbean cruise from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to Aruba. Some news outlets in Aruba said the woman’s death is being probed as a possible murder.
Royal Princess said, “The incident was reported to the FBI and local authorities and the local authorities met and boarded the ship upon arrival in Aruba. We are cooperating fully with the investigating authorities, including the FBI. An official cause of death has not been announced.”
The ship, which can carry up to 3,560 passengers, was expected to return to South Florida on Saturday and was set to undergo a $15.9 million makeover in the coming weeks.
“We are deeply saddened by this incident and offer our sincere condolences to the family and those affected,” the cruise line said.
This recent death was the second announcement of a person being killed on a cruise ship as of Nov. 14. Holland America announced that a 70-year-old woman was killed when she fell into the water in the South Pacific while trying to move between deck and a smaller boat.
