FL - Anna Kepner, 18, dies aboard Carnival cruise ship traveling from Miami to Caribbean, FBI launch probe, 7 Nov 2025

Cruises are relatively inexpensive in Florida, with additional discounts for Florida residents. If this family had been on cruises previously, as indicated by Anna stating how much she enjoyed the other cruise, they may have even received a comp.

Cruise lines want that ship full of people with no where to go, and nothing to do but drink cheap booze and go play in the casino. You can't lay out by the pool all of the time.

Can you get discount cruises or free cruises gambling in the casino like you can get comped rooms and such at the casinos on land?

Maybe the Grandparents were winning them these trips.

Some cruises also have expensive bingo games where the grand prize is a free cruise on their line.

I could see this. I work at a casino and it's most commonly elderly people that spend the most time there.

Are there any verified forensic psychologists or other types of experts that can share what process a suspect might go through? I'm wondering if observation (sometimes weeks) in a full time residential setting is considered before charges?

Legally, law enforcement can't have someone placed in a restricted environment without charges. Especially a child.

Thank you. I wonder what the system is in a situation like this.

I wonder if Shauntel mentioned that the three amigos were only related by a new marriage. Not unusual to place children in a room adjacent to parents, or across from, in the case of cruiseship rooms, especially since one was 18. But important detail -- opposite sex, unrelated children. If the rooms were actually booked this way, then IMO Shauntel did NOT provide the travel agent with full information.

….and just because it’s booked that way, doesn’t mean they have to use the cabins that way. The cruise line only cares that the correct number of people are staying in the cabin. You can play musical beds if you want. This family is so lame.

Still, when your family lives in such conditions you save the money for something better, not splash it out on holidays. Unless you are as selfish and immature as these two so called "parents".

some how they have resources because it is not inexpensive to send multiple children to private school
