Seems very derp-related to me.
I took a look at the accommodations diagram of the boat. Can you spell D-E-A-T-H-T-R-A-P?
One, single person stairwell, or ladder, exit route for 30+ sleeping passengers. The crew was, apparently, sleeping on deck, which accounts for them getting off.
Santa Cruz in English means “Holy Cross” fwiw.
