Royal Caribbean did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A few hundred Swifties left Monday from Miami on Allure of the Seas as part of a fan-led cruise group fittingly named "In my cruise era." The trip was hosted by travel agents Jessica Malerman, Nicole Rivera, and Shelby Reyes of Marvelous Mouse Travels. The trio worked with Royal Caribbean to host private events centered around Swift and her Eras Tour, according to the group's website. Events included a welcome cocktail party, karaoke, friendship bracelet swapping, "Taylor Trivia," and "Nightly eras outfit themes."
It's not clear if the woman who went overboard was a part of the group.
