Marilyn and Robert Jones set sail aboard the Celebrity Equinox cruise ship on Aug. 13 to leave Florida for eight days around the Caribbean.
We apologize, but this video has failed to load.Two days into the cruise, the charms of the Equinox no longer mattered when Robert Jones died of a heart attack, his widow’s lawsuit says. The ship’s crew members told Marilyn Jones that if she decided to take her husband’s body off the ship into San Juan, she would have to accompany him while the ship left her behind, the lawsuit states. Then, they allegedly warned her, she would be responsible for booking transport back to the U.S.
The employee found Jones’s body, which was in advanced stages of decomposition, lying in a bag on a pallet in the cooler, according to the suit. It was so far gone that the funeral home staff in Fort Lauderdale couldn’t salvage enough of his remains for a “suitable” open casket at his wake and funeral, which is what Jones wanted as a long-standing family custom, the suit alleges.
