If it's usually a deep water species this one was probably sick or injured to begin with.
It's still too bad.

"probably sick or injured to begin with." cruise ships > old animals? Maybe we can get out of the way? It is not like a cruise ship is delivering food or helping the poor. "cruise ships to dump waste into the ocean as long as the ships are more than three and a half miles offshore. That means that dirty water from sinks and showers and laundry facilities are discharged into the water. It means that waste from toilets is discharged into the water. And it also means that food waste is also dumped into the ocean. " It is a garbage industry that exists to avoid regulation. Hotels > cruise ships.

The ship strike occurred in shallow waters rarely frequented by healthy sei whales.
A sick animal would move faster and be less likely to be hit than a healthy one and sei whales are fast swimmers in the open ocean.
My two cents?

Reverse that; A healthy animal would be less likely to be hit than a sick one.

Deep water whales breathe air ... at the surface.
