As of November 10, 2026, Jason Watford, a 48-year-old cruise passenger, was taken into custody on charges of murder aboard the MSC Seascape cruise ship in Galveston, Texas. The incident occurred one day after the ship set sail from Galveston for a weeklong voyage to Mexico and Honduras. According to authorities, Watford strangled his wife, Susan Watford, inside their cabin following an argument that began at dinner on board the ship.
