wolfcathorse Posted January 21, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 21, 2010 don't know what being chartered by a tour company catering to gays has to do with a dead person. Hope his death was due to natural causes, may he rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands99 Posted January 21, 2010 #5 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Terrible news. My first wish is that his family find answers and peace as quickly and as deeply as possible. And as awful as it sounds, my second wish is to know the stateroom number where he was found, because my wife will come unglued at the possibility of staying in that room when we board in a couple weeks.

Bosjoe Posted January 22, 2010 #10 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I agree! I hope is just wasn't like ELVIS! Most likely an drug OD. Its a big party on these chartered cruises. Still sad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegirlum Posted January 22, 2010 #12 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Most likely an drug OD. Its a big party on these chartered cruises. Still sad news. A drug OD could happen on any type of cruise. Lots of people go on vacation to let loose. Could have been anything. There are CCers on this cruise, so I'm sure we'll hear something when they get back, considering they also stopped at Labadee. Very sad. As a total aside, we booked the Smith's cabin on Brilliance. BF figured it out and they let us change. It happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bajathree Posted January 22, 2010 #17 Share Posted January 22, 2010 My understanding is people dying on cruise ships isn't uncommon....at the age of just 37 I would say less common.....not sure if you are aware but Oasis has a 6 slab morgue aboard.

negc Posted January 22, 2010 #18 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Most likely an drug OD. Its a big party on these chartered cruises. Still sad news. Unless you have evidence to support your conclusion, it seems both unfair and unseemly to post such speculation. It is more than "sad". It is tragic for everyone personally involved and a baseless claim such as this only adds to their pain.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nation of Why Not Posted January 22, 2010 #19 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Most likely an drug OD. Its a big party on these chartered cruises. Still sad news. Why is that "most likely"? I bet you could say things like: Most unlikely stung by a scorpion or most likely he had a good time before he died but why would a drug OD be "most likely"?

The Nation of Why Not Posted January 22, 2010 #21 Share Posted January 22, 2010 .....not sure if you are aware but Oasis has a 6 slab morgue aboard. I believe that's the type of accommodation you get when you book a "Z Guarantee" on Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rellyrooly Posted January 22, 2010 #22 Share Posted January 22, 2010 As a total aside, we booked the Smith's cabin on Brilliance. BF figured it out and they let us change. It happens. OK, this may be a bit of a morbid question but since it is a reality, I feel I must ask. Is there a way to find out what ships and cabins people may have passed away in? I know that they try to keep that information private and I understand why, but I am person who gets really freaked out about this kind of thing and would definitely NOT want to stay in a cabin where someone may have died or there was foul play in. Do we, as customers, have any right to know? I saw that Bluegirlum was able to switch out of the Smith's cabin; did they admit it to you and how receptive were they? The situation is very sad and I am sorry for the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The situation is very sad and I am sorry for the family. I really think that the "Smith situation" was a unique one because it was so sensationalized. People die in hotel rooms and on cruise ships all the time--usually it just happens and it doesn't end up on Nancy Grace. But in our case, it was within a year of this happening, so it was still in the news, and for some reason when we booked the room--a balcony--BF had some weird hunch and googled the room and sure enough, it popped up! We talked about it, and I was more concerned with gawkers than actually being in the room. So he called RC and the agent actually laughed when he saw the cabin number and BF explained the situation. He said "oh, this happens quite a bit, I understand, we're happy to move you." So they don't publicize it, but they certainly were understanding and I think if they have another cabin open, they'll move you. And sure enough, a nice old couple was in that cabin and people would knock on their door to ask to see it, and would take pictures and stuff. It was creepy and I felt bad for the couple because they didn't understand why people kept knocking on their door. People definitely came just to find the room and our steward said it happens every cruise. But do we have a right to know and have it publicized? I don't think so. I think they accommodate concerns if they can, but I don't think they need to publicize these things. They don't at hotels and other places. I think it would just make a spectacle of it if it's just a standard death. Most likely, these days, if it's foul play, you'll find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
