Carnival passenger killed in the Virgin Island

Carnival cruise line have cancelled all ships visiting the Virgin Islands after a teenage passenger was shoot during a gangland shoot out.

The 14-year-old, names Lizmarie Perez Chapparo, was a passenger on the Carnival ship Victory and was travelling on a tourist bus in the Virgin Islands.

The bus was travelling near the Coki Point cemetery in the St Thomas area when a car began spraying bullets at a funeral that was taking place. Chapparo was hit during the gunfire.

Could this be the beginning of the end of the Virgin Islands being a popular port of call and will other Cruise lines join in the boycott?
