"A New York mother who plunged to her death from a Taylor Swift-themed cruise in the Bahamas last year was allegedly overserved before she drunkenly fell overboard, according to a new lawsuit filed by her family. Dulcie White, a 66-year-old from Westmoreland, fell from the deck of the Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas on Oct. 22, 2024, more than 17 miles off the coast of Nassau. Her body remains lost at sea more than a year later."
"According to a wrongful death suit filed in Florida's Miami-Dade County, where the cruise line is based, White was served at least seven alcoholic beverages over the course of about six hours. It accuses the crew of continually plying her with drinks despite having slurred speech, glassy eyes and difficulty standing up. White's daughter, Megan Klewin, told CBS Miami that her mother had purchased the additional unlimited alcoholic beverages package and did overdo it, perhaps trying to get her money's worth."
Dulcie White, 66, fell from the 14th-floor deck of Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas on Oct. 22, 2024, more than 17 miles off Nassau. Her body remains lost at sea more than a year later. Bahamian authorities initially reported that she jumped, while a wrongful-death lawsuit filed in Miami-Dade County alleges she was overserved. The suit claims she received at least seven alcoholic drinks over about six hours despite slurred speech, glassy eyes and difficulty standing. A passenger helped escort her to the cabin, and her daughter last saw her seated on the balcony edge before the fall.
