MIAMI — The Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas, a cruise ship that has been in service for just over a year, returned to PortMiami Saturday after a man was injured in the Category 6 water park.
Witnesses shared videos that captured shouting after a curve of the Frightening Bolt, a drop-style waterslide, cracked -- leaving a hole as there were people inside.
“When the other gentleman went down, it sliced him ... and then glass fell and the water gushed,” Lillian Destefano said. “No one fell through. Thank God!”
According to Royal Caribbean, the acrylic glass broke off, the guest who was injured received medical treatment, and the waterslide was closed pending the result of an investigation.
