Celebrity Cruises terminated para-sailing excursions in the Caribbean after an accident one mile south of Water Island on Tuesday killed a cruise ship passenger and seriously injured her daughter.
"All para-sailing shore excursions in the Caribbean have been cancelled indefinitely, pending the outcome of the investigation," said Celebrity Cruises spokeswoman Cynthia Martinez.
Squalls and wind gusts Tuesday afternoon may have factored into the death of Bernice Kraftcheck, 60, and the serious injury of her daughter Danielle Haese, 34, who was hospitalized overnight at Schneider Hospital.
The women had purchased a para-sailing shore-excursion conducted by Caribbean Watersports and Tours.
At least six territorial and federal agencies are investigating the fatality, but it was not clear Wednesday night what caused the women's fall.
