Revealed: Florida man arrested on drug charges after bartender girlfriend Olivia Locher, 27, is found dead in cabin on Margaritaville cruise to the Bahamas

A vacationing Florida waiter faces drug charges over the mystery death of his 'beautiful, talented' girlfriend on board a Caribbean party cruise, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

Adam Migliore, 32, claims he found 27-year-old Olivia Locher lying 'unresponsive' in bed as they sailed from Palm Beach, Florida to Grand Bahama on Monday evening.

Medical staff on board the Margaritaville at Sea Paradise couldn't revive the petite Florida bar worker and she was declared dead before the budget cruise liner docked in Freeport.

Migliore was taken into custody after investigators from the Royal Bahamas Police Force searched the couple's room and found a substance resembling cocaine allegedly stashed in their luggage.

Tests are now underway to determine whether the seized substance was cut with fentanyl or other deadly impurities.

Migliore and Locher, who had dated for three years, were on a three-day 'Escape to the Bahamas' trip aboard the Jimmy Buffet-inspired Margaritaville at Sea Paradise cruise

'They were having a good time and partying and it got out of hand. Adam woke up, he saw her in that condition and got help but she was already gone. It was an overdose,' a close family member told DailyMail.com.

'They are not blaming him but obviously they did get the cocaine so he was charged with possession. It was only a personal amount.

'You hear how they mix everything these days with fentanyl but until we get the autopsy we are not going to know.'

Olivia's cause of death has not been revealed but sources told DailyMail.com she had no obvious injuries and there was no evidence of a struggle between the pair.

They were on a three-day 'Escape to the Bahamas' trip on board the Margaritaville at Sea Paradise, which costs as little as $25 per person per night - making it one of the nation's cheapest cruises.

The ship started out life as the Costa Classica in 1991 but was refreshed several times before launching under Jimmy Buffett's famed Margaritaville brand in 2022, complete with a breezy topical décor, new restaurants and a pickleball court.

The 1,680-passenger vessel sailed back to Palm Beach Tuesday but Migliore remains in custody in Grand Bahama where he's due to be arraigned later today for possession of dangerous drugs.

Migliore grew up in New York State where he was sentenced to six months in jail for felony vehicular assault after he slammed his car into an elderly driver following an underage drinking session.

Migliore grew up in New York State where he was sentenced to six months in jail for felony vehicular assault in 2009 after he slammed his car into an elderly driver following an underage drinking session. He later moved to Florida where he has a conviction for stealing $400 from a customer's wallet while working as a waiter last January 

The then-18-year-old's lawyer said his client had abused drugs and alcohol for years prior to the November 2009 smash which left victim Joseph Kurek, 69, requiring a wheelchair, The Buffalo News reported.

Migliore later moved to the Sunshine State where he has a further misdemeanor conviction for stealing $400 from a customer's wallet while he worked as a server in January last year.

Migliore and Olivia had been dating for at least three years and the pair had recently talked about marriage, according to the family member, who spoke to DailyMail.com on condition of anonymity.

The Caribbean cruise launched under Jimmy Buffett's famed Margaritaville brand in 2022 and costs as little as $25 per night. The singer died at 76 last September 

'Olivia was beautiful, she was smart, she was talented. She was perfection. She was the best thing that ever happened to him. She was the best thing in the world,' the relative added.

'I'm very worried about Adam's mental state. He keeps on saying, 'I've lost my Olivia, I've lost my Olivia.' 

'This whole thing is the most terrible tragedy.

'They were on vacation, they just wanted to have a good time – but she went to sleep and never woke up.'

A spokesperson for Margaritaville at Sea said Monday's death was reported to the FBI.

'Our medical staff immediately provided support and assistance to the traveling companion of the deceased guest,' the cruise line said in a statement.

'The traveling companion reported the death, which reportedly occurred overnight. All appropriate authorities were notified, including the FBI, as is standard procedure regarding such events within the cruise industry.

'We are fully cooperating with the FBI and its investigation.'

Monday's death comes after two Kentucky moms claimed they were raped by resort workers while their cruise ship docked in Grand Bahama last month.

Amber Shearer and Dongayla Dobson, both 31, say they were plied with drug-laced rum punch cocktails and lured into secluded woodland while visiting the Pirate's Cove Zipline & Waterpark attraction.

Local men Warren Adderley and Spencer Parker were arrested on suspicion of sexual assault but were released without charge pending further inquiries.

The US State Department issued a travel warning for the Bahamas in January advising 'extreme caution' after a spate of daylight murders and sexual assaults.

Grand Bahama leaders insist tourists are safe, however, and that any recent violence is gang-related and confined to the capital, Nassau, which is on a separate island some 130 miles south.

The Royal Bahamas Police Force has not yet released the cause of Olivia's death.

'An investigation is underway by the police on the island of Grand Bahama into the death of a 27-year-old American woman from Florida,' the force said in a statement.

'According to initial reports, around 5:30pm on March 11, 2024, members of the RBPF (Criminal Investigation Department, Grand Bahama) were contacted and informed of a female passenger who was found unresponsive in her cabin onboard a cruise line en route to the Bahamas.

'A team of medical personnel from the ship assisted and performed CPR, but no vital signs of life were detected and she was declared deceased.

'During their initial investigation, officers confiscated a quantity of suspected cocaine from the cabin and arrested a 32-year-old American male from Florida. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death.'
