I'd like to add my condolences to those who've responded to you loss.

My brother and his wife were on the excursion. I’ve called the ship and they tell me that he is not on the ship at this time and that he was impacted by this incident, but they have no information about his condition. I’ve been in contact with Royal shore side, but they have no information to share yet. I’ve sent text and phone messages to them directly but have not heard from them yet. Please pray.

Condolences from a fellow cruiser.

 

Someone mentioned that the crash did not look that severe. I did see one article that said that the bus rolled, which is obviously much more violent than just a flip. Very tragic, should never have happened.

My sincere sympathy on the loss of your brother and sister-in-law. The whole thing is a tragedy for many, many people. Thank you for taking the time in your grief to share this news with your Cruise Critic family.

Such a tragedy; my deepest condolences to all of the families affected

It was a ship sponsored tour.

 

I still just can't understand how the bus crashed in broad daylight on a straight road with no other vehicle involved when there was no rain. Even if a tire blew you wouldn't think that would cause a bus to flip over.

 

I was in a tour van that passed that area shortly before the accident. It is a perfectly straight section of road with fairly wide shoulders. It's a two lane road with no divider in the center. There were many tour busses leaving at the same time. There are a number of vehicles that travel at different speeds, so overtaking is common from traffic in both directions. We passed a number of busses and one bus passed us in the van.

 

There was a drainage ditch on both sides of the road despite the whole area being flat. A top heavy vehicle like a bus can flip on its side if it goes off the side of the road due to the drop off of about 5-8 feet. From what I saw of the bus when passing the bus, it appeared to roll on its side and then end up hitting the other side of the drainage ditch rather hard head on destroying the front of the bus. All the windows on that side were broken. It is very tragic and I hope that explanation of what I saw doesn't offend anyone.
