A seafarer died on a Royal Caribbean cruiseship because safety rules were not followed, according to the Bahamas Maritime Authority (BMA).
The ordinary seaman was working on the exterior of the solarium windows of the 78,717-gt Vision of the Seas (built 1998) when the accident happened at the Italian port of Livorno in September.
He fell 9.1 metres (30 feet) from deck nine and, although he survived the fall, an attempted rescue did not reach him before he was overcome by the sea.
