It may well have already been dead. They're performing a necroscopy.

I'm no marine biologist, but I'm guessing a small whale is plenty fast enough to dodge a gigantic cruise ship. They don't exactly haul ass. OR, there was something terribly wrong with it so that it couldn't get away.

Cruise ships are so gross, and so are people who go on them.

Has there ever been a good news story about one of these ships?

I can see the headline now: Cruise ship loses no passengers; completes route on time
