Two crew members died on board a Holland America cruise ship, and a fire broke out on a Carnival ship while both of the ships were in the Bahamas this weekend, officials said. Fire and death befell U.S.-home port cruise ships in the Bahamas this weekend, officials said. The two crew on the Florida-based Nieuw Amsterdam died Friday during an 'accidental steam release' while it was calling at the private resort island Half Moon Cay, Holland America said in a statement on Sunday.
The Nieuw Amsterdam returned Saturday to its home port of Fort Lauderdale, guests disembarked, and the vessel has embarked on a cruise with a stop in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, on Monday, Holland America said. 'All of us at Holland America Line are deeply saddened by this event,' the cruise line said. 'We’ve been in contact with the families of both team members and are offering our support to them and to all of our crew at this difficult time.
