Two cruise passengers drowned within hours of each other on Carnival’s new private island in the Bahamas

Even though Carnival Cruise Line has been internet hosting company at its new private island in the Bahamas for less than a month, two company have already died by drowning.

Both deaths occurred on Friday at Celebration Key — Carnival’s private island — and both incidents concerned guests in their 70s.

According to a Facebook post from the Royal Bahamas Police Force, the victims have been a 79-year-old man and a 74-year-old girl, who have been touring on separate cruises.

Witnesses told first responders that the man was snorkeling when he turned “unresponsive.” A lifeguard pulled him out of the water and supplied CPR, but the man couldn’t be revived.

The girl equally turned “unresponsive” while she was swimming in a pool. Although a lifeguard handled her, she also died.

Both of the deceased can be subject to autopsies to decide their causes of death.

A spokesperson for Carnival confirmed to Fox News Digital that the incident occurred on the cruise liner’s new private island, Celebration Key.

The company said that its “lifeguards and medical team responded to two separate water emergency incidents — one in the lagoon and one at the beach.”

“One guest was sailing with family on Mardi Gras and one guest was sailing with family on Carnival Elation,” the Carnival spokesperson told the outlet. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the guests and their families and our Care Team is providing assistance.”

Both of the victims have been American residents.

Celebration Key opened on July 19 after a more than $600 million investment secured it for Carnival Cruise Lines.
