Two crew members on a Holland America cruise ship died during an “incident” in the ship’s engineering space, the cruise line said.
The unidentified crew members died Friday while the Florida-based Nieuw Amsterdam was at Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas, Holland America said in a statement. The ship set sail out of Fort Lauderdale on March 16 for a seven-night trip.
Authorities were notified and the cause of the accident is being investigated, the cruise line said. Crew members were being offered counseling.
“All of us at Holland America Line are deeply saddened by this incident and our thoughts and prayers are with our team members’ families at this difficult time,” the statement said. “The safety, security and welfare of all guests and crew are the company’s absolute priority.”
The cruise line did not offer any further details about the crew members. It later said the Bahamas Maritime Authority was leading the investigation.
Trump says he has nearly $500 million in cash but doesn’t want to use it to pay New York judgment
Donald Trump says he has almost a half-billion dollars in cash but would rather spend it on his presidential run than the $454 million civil fraud judgment against him in New York.
The Republican ex-president hopes to have a court excuse him from a requirement that he prove he’s good for the money while appealing the staggering verdict.
A judge in February found Trump repeatedly lied about his wealth on financial statements given to banks and others to secure loans and make deals. Trump denies deceiving anyone. Trump’s lawyers have struggled to obtain a bond covering the judgment because underwriters insisted on cash, stocks or other liquid assets instead of real estate as collateral.
