On Tuesday, a woman aboard the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Harmony of the Seas was attacked by a shark while “on an independent shore excursion,” the spokesperson told CBS News in a statement. The incident involved a 58-year-old woman from Pennsylvania and happened at a popular snorkeling spot near Green Cay in the northern Bahamas, police spokeswoman Chief Superintendent Chrislyn Skippings told The Associated Press. “It’s unfortunate,” he said. Skippings said the woman’s family identified it as a bull shark. The woman was taken to a local hospital where she died of her injuries, the cruise line said. “Royal Caribbean is providing support and assistance to guests’ loved ones at this difficult time,” the cruise line said. Harmony of the Seas is currently on a 7-night cruise that departed from Port Canaveral, Florida on September 4th.
