Two American tourists drowned hours apart at Carnival’s private Bahamas resort on Friday, less than a month since the cruise line opened the $600 million Caribbean getaway destination.
Carnival officials told the Post that the “water emergency incidents” involving guests traveling on two different ships happened at Celebration Key on Grand Bahama Island.
“Carnival lifeguards and medical teams working at the resort responded to both incidents, one occurring in the lagoon and the other at the beach,” a Carnival Cruise spokesperson said.
The Carnival passengers were identified as a 79-year-old man and a 74-year-old woman, both American nationals, according to the Royal Bahamas Police Force, who opened investigations into the deaths.
