A deadly stabbing incident occurred on a Royal Caribbean International cruise ship, leaving one crew member dead and another injured. The Icon Of The Seas was en route to PortMiami when the incident happened.
The 35-year-old attacker stabbed a 28-year-old woman before jumping into the water off San Salvador Island in the Bahamas. The victim survived but was taken to hospital in stable condition. The South African man’s body was recovered from the water, and he was pronounced dead.
The incident occurred during the ship’s voyage, which began on July 19 and included stops at St. Maarten and the US Virgin Islands. The crew had reported a dispute between two members before the attack. Royal Caribbean officials are investigating the incident further.
