| Carnival tragedy

ONE passenger has died and another has gone missing while on a cruise from Sydney aboard Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Splendor last week.

The deceased passenger was snorkelling on Moreton Island, however Cruise Weekly understands she was not on a Carnival shore excursion.

Shortly afterward another passenger jumped overboard while the ship was departing her destination.

Splendor assisted authorities in the search for the passenger, whose family had alerted the ship’s staff.

The vessel was involved in the search until 3pm Sat, with efforts now being overseen by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA).

It is not believed the two incidents are linked.
