A 10 yr. old girl drown. revival efforts went on for 20-30 mins. but were unsuccessful So sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan115 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Here is an article about the drowning aboard Norwegian Gem from ABC News: http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/coast-guard-girl-10-drowns-pool-aboard-cruise-31136593 What a tragic ending to a fun cruise for the family. So sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketwatch Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Thanks for the link. I could not find one yesterday. We were on a cruise once when a fatality occurred. There was a three generation family on vacation and the eldest lady passed. All of the family except her hubby and a son got off at the next port. The hubby and son stayed on and I still remember the vacant, shocked look the hubby had. So sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan115 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 It's so sad to hear stories like that. A family celebration and reunion, only to end in heartache - and so far from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in Tahiti when this happened and the family was from the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebbieandJerry Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I agree that this is a horrible tragedy. Sometimes I think cruisers have a false sense of security when they are on the ship and don't realize that stuff still happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
