## Summary

A passenger on the MSC Seascape was arrested by federal officers in Galveston as part of a murder investigation after a woman was found dead aboard the cruise ship. The ship returned to port just hours after beginning its Caribbean voyage, disrupting the trip while authorities responded.

The FBI has not released further details, and the woman’s identity, relationship to the arrested man and the circumstances of her death remain unclear. The medical examiner was expected to conduct an autopsy on Tuesday; the ship later resumed its route, with stops planned in Mexico and Honduras before its scheduled return to Galveston on 15 November.
