Aboard a Carnival Cruise Line vessel, a woman fell from her stateroom balcony and died, prompting federal authorities to open a formal investigation.

As investigators begin their work, the case asks an enduring question about modern leisure — how much risk is quietly built into the spaces where we seek rest.
