Cruise ship suffered propulsion trouble
After departing from Fort Lauderdale on May 24, 2026, the 'Allure of the Seas' was operating at a reduced speed due to a problem with one of the propulsion systems, which meant that the cruise wouldn’t be able to keep its planned itinerary. Instead of visiting a Western Caribbean destination, passengers will spend two days in the same Bahamas port. As the ship’s crew worked to address the issue with the propulsion system, the ship was kept close to Florida to ensure that it would be able to return to Fort Lauderdale on schedule on May 30. It was unclear at this time whether the propulsion problem would impact the ship’s next sailing.
Family of woman who fell over board blaming crew for fatal accident
After the death of Dulcie W., who fell over board from the balcony of her cabin aboard the "Allure of the Seas" on Oct 22, 2024, about 27 kilometers north of Nassau, during a Taylor Swift cruise, her daughter is now blaming the crew for the accident, as it had continued to serve her alcohol even though she was already showing signs of severe alcohol poisoning. Her body was never recovered. According to a manslaughter lawsuit filed in Miami-Dade County, the woman was served seven drinks within approximately six hours. She had purchased an unlimited liquor package. The daughter described how her mother went out onto the cabin balcony where she and her daughter had stored their luggage. She assumed her mother wanted to get something from her suitcase. Then she was sitting on the edge of the balcony, as if she had climbed up there, and fell before she could reach her. The family also accused the cruise line Royal Caribbean Group of not reacting immediately. They claimed that neither a lifeboat was launched nor was an immediate course change initiated. The attorney Spencer Aronfeld emphasized that the family primarily seeks accountability and aims to bring about change in the industry. According to him, a successful lawsuit would be achieved if Royal Caribbean and other cruise lines were to decide to discontinue their "all-you-can-drink" packages.
