Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship Returns to Port Miami After Reported Death Onboard

A death has been confirmed on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship while it was out at sea. Local 10 News was the first to report on the story and interviewed passengers who said they were aware of the death and heard it was the result of a ‘medical episode.’

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family who has lost their loved one in this tragedy.

The ship set sail with just under 5,000 passengers and was in port to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Atlantis Cruises, an annual charter cruise event. It returned to Port Miami on Sunday, January 23.
