"I'm shocked that it happened on the ship I was on. We felt bad for the victim obviously," a fellow passenger said.

Authorities told CBS News the woman's husband has voluntarily stayed behind in Aruba and is not considered a suspect.

A spokesperson for the prosecutor in Aruba says an autopsy on the woman has been performed, but those results have not been released.
