Dead whale found on bow
The NOAA’s Office of Law Enforcement was conducting an investigation after a dead whale was found caught on the bow of the 'MSC Meraviglia' when it approached the port in Brooklyn, New York, on May 4, 2024. The roughly 44-foot-long sei whale was towed to shore at Sandy Hook, New Jersey, for a necropsy, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries spokesperson Andrea Gomez. The examination, done on May 7, found broken bones in its right flipper and evidence of tissue trauma along the right shoulder blade region. The gastrointestinal tract was full of food, as well. The Atlantic Marine Conservation Society, the lead on the case, said that the whale was a mature female.

The ship will remain in Boston through Dec 19, before heading to Portland, Maine and then Saint John, Newfoundland before returning to New York.
Officer saved woman who fell into the water
On Nov 25, 2023, a tragic incident was avoided at MSC Cruises' private Bahamian island Ocean Cay thanks to the courageous actions of Officer Giuseppe Ruocco. He saved a woman from drowning after she fell into the sea between the ship and the dock during the disembarkation from the 'MSC Meraviglia' visiting the island. Acting swiftly, the officer didn't hesitate and jumped into the water to rescue the woman. THe kept her head above water and assisted her along the length of the ship to the stern, where a rescue team assisted. The "man overboard"/MOB signal was activated, prompting the rescue team to spring into action. The woman was successfully recovered within minutes, thanks to Officer Ruocco, who risked his own life to save her. He received a lengthy applause from the ship's Master (Captain Stefano Aiello) and the crew for his heroic efforts. The following letter has been distributed among MSC HR Leaders: "Today at Meraviglia's port of call at Ocean Cay, a guest accidentally fell into water between the ship and dock and without a second tought, our Training Officer Giuseppe Ruocco jumped into the water to help the distressed guest. Man overboard signal was given and our fully trained team was present in no time to help the guest out of water. We wish our guest a speedy recovery as the incident was controlled in just a couple of minutes because of Giuseppe's brave reaction in no time. He risked his life to save a life. Giuseppe proudly resonates the MSC Value "We CARE for our people."
