Details of the Incident
The deceased, an elderly woman, was reported just before the ship arrived in Los Angeles. Royal Caribbean indicated that she was part of a segment of the cruise’s itinerary and not the entire duration of the Ultimate World Cruise. This cruise, spanning 274 days, has about 800 passengers on its full journey, with many others joining for specific legs.
