NEW YORK: A photograph taken last week on a Caribbean cruise ship quickly gained widespread attention, but it wasn’t of a pink-sand beach, a zip-lining adventure or an onboard sky-diving simulator. It was of a woman standing on a balcony railing of her stateroom on one of the world’s largest cruise ships – posing for a selfie. Royal Caribbean did not identify the woman or her companion. Last week’s episode is emblematic of the selfie culture in which some people have died trying to get the ultimate photo. In 2015, a woman was injured by a bison at Yellowstone Park after getting too close for a selfie.
