In the debut episode of Cruise Ship Killer, the hosts examine two cruise ship deaths that later reemerged through wrongful-death lawsuits — and what the reporting actually proves. From an FBI-involved death aboard Navigator of the Seas to an overboard incident on Allure of the Seas during a Taylor Swift–themed cruise, CSK breaks down overservice claims, disputed details, and the gap between headlines and confirmed facts, asking how tragedies like this can happen on a floating city.
