Tragic news for our Cruise Critic 'family'

Am guessing that, like me earlier today, some of you may not be aware of the tragic accident where 12 passengers from an RCI and Celebrity ship (Equinox) sadly died during the ships' excursion. This accident has particularly affected another CC member who has lost his brother and sister in law.

I only found the thread on the Celebrity forum by accident and thought that other CC members on here may wish to express their condolences to a fellow CC member at such a terribly sad time.

You will find the thread starters on the Celebrity and RCI boards.

Read it on the BBC news app. Very sad. There but for the grace of God, goes any one of us

Really tragic and there will be so many people affected in the wider circle of family and friends by this loss.

None of us knows the day or hour. There but for the grace of God indeed.

So sorry to hear this. My condolences to their families.

So sad for all those affected. My heart goes out to them. Proves that we just have to live every day the best we can.

My wife told me about it while we were waiting to disembark Oriana this morning. How tragic and just goes to show how none of us knows what lies ahead.

For them it was probably a new port and an exciting day ahead with no knowledge of what was to come. My heartfelt sympathy for all those touched by this tragedy.

My heart goes out to everyone who has been affected by this. So sad when those who were lost were simply enjoying their holiday, just as so many of us have done.

Very sad indeed, especially doing something we all love [emoji17]

I agree.

As regulars on RCI threads we heard about the tragedy just after it happened.

Reports were the driver was speeding on poor roads and ran away after the accident.

Our thoughts and prayers are with those impacted upon.

Also to the family and friends of the 5 Britons and Australian pilot killed in the Sydney sea plane tragedy yesterday, doing what they loved
