The ship's departure from Long Beach was delayed because the
company had received an anonymous bomb threat at the reservation desk
in Colorado Springs, CO. The US Coast Guard was notified at 2:20
PM and a full sweep of the ship and reinspection of passenger luggage
was undertaken. Nothing was found and the ship departed at about
6PM. |

Disembarkation was delayed 6 hours until the ship was cleared by the FBI which was investigating a woman's death during the cruise (sometime Saturday, reportedly on R deck around room 145). Many assumed it was drug-related since there was evidence of drug use on board, but this is just conjecture. According to news reports, "authorities do not believe foul play was involved." The cruise, running 14 - 17 October, was the Xingolati Groove Cruise of the Pacific. Embarkation of the next cruise was also delayed. The death was later ruled to be caused by “the toxic effects of methadone,” | Death on Board --- Delays |

Though airlifts from cruise ships are not uncommon, it is
unusual that three passengers would be airlifted the same day.
That was the case in San Diego. A 78-year-old man who fell and broke his hip and a 64-year-old woman with a tear in her esophagus (reportedly after walking through a glass door at an onboard shop) were airlifted Saturday night from Oosterdam; the following morning a 55-year-old woman suffering "severe internal pain" was airlifted from the Paradise. These are reminders not to travel without adequate health insurance that will cover such emergencies. |
