Two cruise ship passengers died in separate incidents on Celebration Key
On Aug 15, 2025, two passengers of the 'Carnival Elation' and 'Mardi Gras' have died in separate incidents in the lagoon and at the beach of a private island in the Bahamas. One tourist, 79, became unresponsive while snorkelling at a beach on Celebration Key. Attempts to revive him failed. A woman, 74, was found unresponsive while swimming in a pool. Both were believed to be US citizens. They had been travelling on the Carnival Cruise ships which had been docked at the cruise line’s private resort Celebration Key, on Grand Bahama Island. Celebration Key opened in July at a cost of US$600 million.
Hurricane Milton affects cruise schedules
Carnival Cruise Line has announced significant delays to several ships in the fleet due to the approaching Hurricane Milton. The cruise line has already informed guests that a cruise on the 'Carnival Paradise' has been cancelled and that the ship, while not cancelled yet, would not be able to return to port on Oct 10, 2024. The arrival of the 'Carnival Valor' in Miami on Oct 10 would be delayed. The 'Carnival Sunrise' would not be returning to Miami as scheduled on Oct 10. The 'Carnival Glory' would not be returning to Port Canaveral on Oct 11. Passengers were assured on Oct 9 that they would be kept updated on the situation and provided with available options as soon as possible.
Search for missing passenger aborted
The US Coast Guard has stopped its search for a 30-year-old male passenger who went overboard from the 'Carnival Elation' on July 24, when the cruise ship was on a four-day Bahamas sailing on its way back to Jacksonville, Florida. After an exhaustive on-board search and a review of security camera video it was determined that he jumped. Shoreside authorities were notified, and the crew was advised to continue to Jacksonville. The Carnival Care Team was providing support to the guest's family. The US Coast Guard was alerted at 6:30 p.m., and the search was initiated soon after. On July 26, the Coast Guard announced it had suspended the search for the man.
