Bee Swarm Removed From Utopia of the Seas Pool Deck
The bees were cleared from beneath a shade umbrella as passengers boarded for a four-night Bahamas cruise, with no reported injuries or sailing disruption.
A swarm of bees was removed from Utopia of the Seas while passengers boarded the Royal Caribbean ship for a four-night Bahamas sailing, according to the report. The bees had gathered beneath a shade umbrella on the port side of Deck 15, near the exits of the waterslides.
Video posted on Reddit showed a person wearing beekeeping equipment and carefully using a vacuum apparatus to collect the bees. The swarm was removed quickly, and there were no reports of boarding passengers being stung.
The incident did not result in any reported delay to the ship’s departure or changes to its itinerary. Royal Caribbean had not commented on the encounter at the time of the report.
