The second of two cruise ships carrying passengers who were on a deadly bus crash in Mexico made its return to South Florida on Saturday.
Royal Caribbean ‘s Celebrity Equinox docked at Port Miami Saturday morning, with passengers departing the ship shortly after arriving.
At least a dozen passengers from both Royal Caribbean‘s Serenade of the Seas and Celebrity Equinox were killed when a bus that was returning from taking tourists to the Mayan ruins flipped over.
Royal Caribbean ‘s Serenade of the Seas arrived at Port Everglades last week.
Authorities confirmed that 78-year-old Fanya Shamis from Coconut Creek was killed in the crash along with her daughter and grandson, Anna and Daniel Behar of Virginia. Behar’s husband and other son were injured in the crash.
Two others from Florida, Christopher and Laura Couallier from near Orlando, were also confirmed to be among the dead. Christopher Couallier was the CFO for the Port Miami tunnel project, according to friends and family.
