As an immigrant, I feel duty-bound to complete the tasks I am paid for, which means reaching out and trying to understand my fellow cruisers. So I put on a normal James Perse T-shirt and headed for one of the bars on the Royal Promenade—the Schooner Bar, it was called, if memory serves correctly. I say hurtfully because as a Suite passenger I should be here, though my particular suite is far from the others.

Thousands of people seeking help did not get a police response. That’s a good thing.
Today the ship docks at Royal Caribbean’s own Bahamian island, the Perfect Day at CocoCay. (This appears to be the actual name of the island.) A comedian at the nightclub opined on what his perfect day at CocoCay would look like—receiving oral sex while learning that his ex-wife had been killed in a car crash (big laughter). But the reality of the island is far less humorous than that. Another hot-tub denizen suggests that he should have asked for fentanyl.

I heard a southern couple skip the buffet entirely out of fear of Mr. Washy Washy. In keeping with the aquatic theme, I attend a show at the AquaDome. To the sound of “Live and Let Die,” a man in a harness gyrates to and fro in the sultry air. I saw something very similar in the back rooms of the famed Berghain club in early-aughts Berlin. Soon another harnessed man is gyrating next to the first.
'Things flying all over the place': Royal Caribbean cruise ship rocked by rough weather
“They asked me three times if I needed medication,” he says of the security people who apparently interrogated him in full view of others having breakfast. As a coddled passenger with a suite, I feel like I am starting to understand what it means to have a rank and be constantly reminded of it. There are many espresso makers, I think as I look across the expanse of my officer-grade quarters before closing my eyes, but this one is mine.

Without falling into stereotypes or preconceptions, I prepare myself for a friendly outspokenness on the part of my fellow seafarers that may not comply with modern DEI standards. I believe in meeting people halfway, and so the day before flying down to Miami, I visited what remains of Little Italy to purchase a popular T-shirt that reads DADDY’S LITTLE MEATBALL across the breast in the colors of the Italian flag. My wife recommended that I bring one of my many T-shirts featuring Snoopy and the Peanuts gang, as all Americans love the beagle and his friends.
Jim Walker graduated from law school in 1983 and has been handling maritime law cases for the past thirty-five years. He handles a wide variety of cases from serious injuries to the highest profile sexual assault and cruise crime cases. There reportedly were five crew members in the engine room before the explosion. Three left the room before the explosion and closed the water-tight door behind them. The fire team, which assembled after the explosion, could not open the doors for reason not currently known (perhaps the hydraulic oil became too hot and the hydraulic pump could not build up adequate pressure).

But the show soon devolves into the usual Marvel-film-grade nonsense, with too much light and sound signifying nichts. If any fisting is happening, it is probably in the Suite Neighborhood, inside a cabin marked with an upside-down pineapple, which I understand means a couple are ready to swing, and I will see none of it. In the weeks since its departure from Miami, videos about the Ultimate World Cruise have proliferated on TikTok.
Adita Larson, 64, was walking through the ship around 1 p.m. The ship was leaning to one side, making it difficult for her to stay upright. The vessel, which is currently operating the line’s nine-month Ultimate World Cruise, was on its way from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Montevideo, Uruguay at the time. Condolences to the family, friends and co-employees of both of these men.

The ship makes no sense, vertically or horizontally. It makes no sense on sea, or on land, or in outer space. It looks like a hodgepodge of domes and minarets, tubes and canopies, like Istanbul had it been designed by idiots. Vibrant, oversignifying colors are stacked upon other such colors, decks perched over still more decks; the only comfort is a row of lifeboats ringing its perimeter. There is no imposed order, no cogent thought, and, for those who do not harbor a totalitarian sense of gigantomania, no visual mercy.
Sewol’s departure from the port of Incheon the night before had been delayed by nearly two-and-a-half hours, due to a thick, persistent fog. Sewol commenced its journey shortly after the low visibility warning was lifted; it was the only commercial vessel to set sail from the port that evening. Finally, I visit a comedy revue in an enormous and too brightly lit version of an “intimate,” per Royal Caribbean literature, “Manhattan comedy club.” Many of the jokes are about the cruising life. “I’ve lived on ships for 20 years,” one of the middle-aged comedians says.
The coffee tastes fine and the eggs came out of a bird. The ship rolls slightly this morning; I can feel it in my thighs and my schlong, the parts of me that are most receptive to danger. Larson, for her part, has not witnessed drama beyond isolated incidents such as a handful of passengers who have had to leave early for medical reasons and disputes over lounge access. Not even this week’s bad weather could spoil the trip for her. “I just feel like, I can swim, so I didn’t get scared,” she said. By about 3 p.m., the weather cleared up and the forward elevators were accessible again as of late morning Wednesday.
The precise tenors and textures of their grief, and their respective demands, vary. But what unites these communities is that they grieve for lives that are not yet fully grievable. These are deaths that cannot be fully mourned without an adequate explanation and accountability. As experts on mass fatalities and traumatic events highlight, their fight is part and parcel of the effort to bring order and closure – albeit partial and fragmentary – to lives overturned by an event that remains inexplicable. The Center for Disaster Victims’ Rights opened in January 2024 as a subsidiary of the 4.16 Foundation, bringing together communities affected by eight major disasters over the past 30 years in South Korea.
A Bulgarian cruise ship carrying over 140 passengers crashed into a concrete wall along the Danube river in Austria. “There were just things flying all over the place,” said Escobedo, who lives in Port Arthur, Texas. She had been on eight cruises before and felt ships rock “but nothing to this extent.” Escobedo also posted a video on TikTok that her sister filmed, showing a chair being blown across an outer deck. When they eventually left their cabin, they saw some passengers walking around in lifejackets, and praying and comforting one another in the halls.
