A woman sailing on a Carnival Cruise Line ship from Florida fell from her cabin’s balcony and died.
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.
...
Tampa resident Maureen La Bryer, whose daughter and son-in-law Megan and Matthew Burdewick are on the Elation, told the Herald that they texted her about the incident. The Burdewick’s said their cabin was near that of the woman who fell.
“We weren’t [allowed] off the boat to Freeport until they investigated it. They were taking pictures [and everything],” Megan Burdewick texted her mother, according to text messages La Bryer shared with the Herald.”
She added that, after the fall, “there was blood everywhere.”

Horrible.
Like falling from an apartment building.
RIP.
Either drunk or stupid or murdered.....OR the balcony glass wall gave way...which I doubt. You cannot trip and go off the balcony since the rails are way over waist high.
I’ll go out on a limb here and say there was alcohol involved.
That will teach her not to have sex on a balcony railing.
Or a selfie.
Cruises are filled with serial killers. Think about it...
“way over waist high.”
Just barely ... for an adult
“Cruises are filled with serial killers. Think about it...”
Serial idiots.
“I’ll go out on a limb here and say there was alcohol involved.”
I have friends that went on one of the River Cruises in Europe last fall. They are ALL major partiers, so to save $, they bought a, ‘Silver Package’ which supplies you with all the booze you can drink all day long, all through the cruise.
Knowing them, that ship LOST money, LOL!
Still, sorry this had to happen, but I agree - I’m sure alcohol was involved.
Been on many, many ships, and the railings are plenty high...UNLESS you are SITTING on them!
No matter where you go, Hillary will get you.
That too.
Carnival Cruises for the budget conscious serial killer.
There’s Got to be a Mourning After...
Staterooms on Carnival ships upper decks generally can be as high as the 8th deck. Could have fell from the 6th through 8th to deck 3 where the lobby is, one hell of a drop either way.
An adult can easily lean over the rail as it is BARELY above waist level.
You must be 7 ft. tall! How many cruise ships have you been on?
“Knowing them, that ship LOST money, LOL!”
Not at the price they charge for the package.
“You must be 7 ft. tall! How many cruise ships have you been on?”
My last cruise was last month and I remember the strange feeling in my stomach as I leaned against our balcony rail.
