FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The Regal Princess returned to Port Everglades early Saturday morning, one week after a crew member died after going overboard during a Caribbean voyage.

In a statement, Princess Cruises said it was “deeply saddened” by the crew member’s death and extended condolences to the person’s family and friends.
“Our heartfelt condolences go out to the crew’s family and friends during this difficult time,” the cruise line said. “Grief support services are being offered to guests and crew members affected by this event.”
The cruise line also thanked local maritime authorities and the crew of the Carnival Jubilee for assisting with search-and-rescue efforts.
The Regal Princess continued its scheduled voyage before returning to Fort Lauderdale Saturday morning. No additional details about the crew member, including their identity, have been released.
