The Princess cruises ship ‘Regal Princess’ rescued two people from the water, after their private aircraft went down in the Caribbean Sea, southeast of Grand Turk.
The cruise ship was en route from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, to St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, when she received a notification by the US Coast Guard sector Miami for two people in distress at sea. The ship was on a 7-day cruise to Caribbean at that time.
The video, issued by John Becker in social media, depicts the moment when the crew headed towards the two people in the water and passengers are heard applauding upon the rescue.
The two survivors were reported safe and well with no injuries and the Regal Princess continued her route.
A small plane crashed in the Caribbean Sea, and the USCG called on our Regal Princess crew to assist with the rescue. We’re happy to report both people are now safely onboard as the ship continues to St Thomas!,
