Tragic Incident on Carnival Cruise Ship: Five-Year-Old Bliss Moses Loses Life Due to Onboard Accident
A heart-wrenching tragedy unfolded aboard the *Carnival Serenity* this week, as five-year-old Bliss Moses lost her life in a devastating accident while on vacation with her family. The incident occurred Tuesday afternoon as the ship sailed through the Caribbean, en route to Jamaica.
According to early reports from Carnival Cruise Line and ship authorities, Bliss was involved in an accident near one of the ship’s upper-deck pool areas. While details are still being investigated, it’s believed that she slipped and fell through a barrier that may have been improperly secured.
Emergency responders aboard the ship acted immediately, but despite their efforts, the child succumbed to her injuries before the vessel could reach the nearest port for advanced medical assistance.
Carnival Cruise Line released a statement late Tuesday expressing its deepest condolences:
“We are devastated by the tragic loss of young Bliss Moses. Our hearts are with her family during this unimaginable time. We are working closely with authorities to understand exactly what happened and to support the family in every way we can.”
Passengers aboard the *Carnival Serenity described a somber mood following the incident, with many offering prayers, flowers, and cards of support to the grieving family. A memorial service was quietly held in the ship’s chapel Wednesday morning.
The cruise line has launched an internal investigation, and officials from the U.S. Coast Guard and the Bahamian Maritime Authority are also reviewing the case. Passenger safety measures and ship design protocols are expected to be scrutinized closely in the aftermath of this heartbreaking loss.
Bliss Moses was described by family friends as a bright, joyful little girl with a love for music and the ocean. The family had planned the cruise as a celebration of her recent kindergarten graduation.
