A Canadian woman died during a dive excursion to the Proselyte Reef, a few miles off Great Bay Harbour. According to her husband, she was a certified diver. Shortly after descending to the dive site she indicated she wanted to return to the surface and was brought to the surface by the dive guide and her husband and taken into the dive vessel. She became unwell shortly after. After security personnel went to get her some water she was found lying on the floor with “foam” running from her mouth and nose. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) was administered, while the dive company’s office was called for help. After the other divers had come to the surface the victim was immediately brought ashore. She was pronounced dead at approximately 10:45am by a medical doctor after she was brought back to shore by dive company Scuba Fun. | Death on

The
ship's departure from Falmouth was delayed 2 hours because of several
accidents involving tour busses. Here is what was sent from a
passenger's Blackberry: There
were
4 accidents involving tour buses: 1) bus hit a car which caught
on
fire; 2) Another bus hit a car and the car's driver stopped in front of
the bus and acted very threatening to the passengers; 3) A
independent
mini excursion bus was sideswiped by a large tour bus severely damaging
the sides of both buses; 4) following that accident, the mini bus ran
over the foot of a pedestrian which was badly crushed. As a
result of
these incidenced the ship left port 2 hours late but was still able to
reach Dublin on time. I don't believe any Constellaion passengers were
injured. |

Reported Illness Outbreaks |
| 26.5.10 | A passenger writes: We took a Baltic Sea cruise on May16 out of Amsterdam and at some point, there were anywhere from 80 to 200 cases of Norovirus in crew and passengers. The ship went into their mode for containing infection, etc. The ship had been in dry dock for refurbishing with much new equipment, etc, and I'm very curious about the cruise that began the day we disembarked. Apparently they were about 4 hours late departing while the ship was sanitized (if that can truly be done). June 6: King 5 News reports the cruise line confirmed that 96 passengers had contracted gastrointestinal illness caused by norovirus. |
