Woman Dies After Falling From Balcony On Carnival Cruise Ship Near Catalina Island

A woman died in the early hours of Monday morning after falling from her stateroom balcony aboard the Carnival Firenze and landing on a lower deck, while the ship was sailing near Catalina Island on a four-day Baja Mexico cruise departing from Long Beach. The unidentified woman was traveling with her family, who alerted the ship's crew — and Carnival confirmed law enforcement was scheduled to board the vessel while docked at Catalina Island to investigate.

The FBI also boarded to collect evidence, and the circumstances surrounding the fall remain undisclosed as the investigation continues. The incident adds to a troubling string of deaths across Carnival's fleet in recent months, including two fatalities on a single Carnival Splendor voyage and the murder of an 18-year-old passenger aboard the Carnival Horizon last November.

Crenshaw Lofts — South Los Angeles

Crenshaw Lofts

$3,500 / month

This 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit sits on an upper floor with sweeping views stretching from Baldwin Hills to DTLA. Inside you get quartz counters, stainless appliances, in-unit washer/dryer, and floor-to-ceiling windows that actually deliver on the hype.

The building itself is brand new — sitting right on the Metro K Line, steps from Sankofa Park and the heart of Destination Crenshaw. Studios start at $1,995. This one's at the top end — but is it worth it?
