The Daily Mirror in the UK reports a man lost his left leg after burning his feet on the ship's metal deck during a Caribbean cruise. His limb was amputated below the knee when infection set in. His feet stuck on the deck as he sunbathed -- he says: "They started to sizzle. I wrenched them up and the skin was all off the foot. I was in agony." He was flown home from the ship in Belize. | Freaky injury |

According to a passenger, a lifeless man was pulled out of the Crystal pool on deck 12. Medics were called, passengers were cleared from decks 12 and 14, but attempts to revive were unsuccessful. The deck area was reopened 90 minutes later. The man's body was taken off the ship at Civitavecchia during which time the side of the ship was closed off to all passengers to prevent them from seeing the hearse. In contrast (and distressing to the passenger who wrote) was that the staff person in charge of music on deck 12 continued to play music whilst the attempt to revive the gentleman was going on. In his view, hearing 'Hi-Ho Silver Lining' whilst the crew were trying to revive the passenger was somewhat distasteful. | Passenger Death --- Relevant for how the situation was handled |
