A passenger traveling on Royal Caribbean’s “Star of the Seas” dies during a snorkeling excursion off St. Maarten, multiple outlets report. The passenger goes ashore with their family for an organized excursion and enters the water for snorkeling. During the trip, they suffer a medical emergency while in the water, and the situation becomes fatal. The reports describe the family’s subsequent return aboard the cruise ship with the passenger’s body. The incident occurs on Thursday, after the passenger disembarks the ship to take part in the outing. No outlet provides further details about the passenger’s identity, age, or the specific cause of death. The accounts consistently state that the death is linked to a medical emergency during the snorkeling activity off the island and that the family returns to the ship afterward. The incident is presented as a tragedy connected to the cruise excursion rather than an on-board event.
