We have taken two Disney cruises - with family, not my idea - and for the second one we stayed on the boat instead of going into Nassau. It was lovely, much less crowded and there was plenty to do.

What a bizarre disclaimer. It's like you're embarrassed to have done it or something. WTAF.

This story is so scary. The spitting thinng?

If it happened, it’s grounds to ask the family to leave. Not beat a guy to death!

It also sounds like something someone could have made up to smear a victim, tbh.

It’s sad to imagine how differently this would play if the victim were a 23 year old white woman.

Sounds like an F around and find out type of story.

I guess spitting on the staff in the restaurant wasn't such a good idea.

This story is weird.

Spitting on several staff members? Huh?

"Resort officials questioned his mother on where he was as they accused him of spitting on several staff members inside a restaurant."

He probably got into a fight!

Did you see this part of the story?

“ Resort officials questioned his mother on where he was as they accused him of spitting on several staff members inside a restaurant.

“The police said they were looking for him because apparently he spat on some staff in a restaurant,” Michelle McAlmont told the outlet.”

Sounds fishy, wonder if that had anything to do with it.

OK. Am I the only one who read this article? The young man left the restaurant, after which hotel security approached his family to ask where he was because he had been SPITTING ON RESTAURANT STAFF and they were trying to find him. That's how they found him dead on the beach having been beaten. I mean, this does not sound like a random act of violence to me. OP's post is misleading.

Because heavens to Betsy that YOU would ever want to go on a Disney cruise unless someone else made you do it!

Jerk.

It's so heartbreaking.

My friend lived there for a few years. He's in finance and lots of off-shore stuff is there. They lived in a gated community that had most things within, like nice restaurants, community center, and schools. They left rarely, and were very careful when they did. It sounds like this young man may have strayed slightly from the resort area.

That is a super nice resort. The Reef is part of Atlantis. This is really shocking. I would have thought nothing of going back to room to grab a coat and coming back and doing it alone. Wonder if he was doing a short cut from the restaurant area to beach to room and someone jumped him. This is really sad and scary!!

I think Nassau after dark is dangerously—especially on the beach.

But we’ve never had an issue when in port. We tend to hire a private driver and head away from the crowds to a nice beach bar/restaurant. We don’t rush off the boat and typically spend 4 or 5 hours on an uncrowded beach. Back on the ship by 3:30ish.

A young man from Maryland was beaten and killed while vacationing at Atlantis, Bahamas.

Seems like he was jumped while walking alone.
