They say he hung the kid out of a "window", which I don't really understand as cruise ships don't have opening windows. I wonder if they mean a balcony rail.
Either way doing so is a cruising 101 No No. You are told at every muster drill (which is compulsory for everyone before the ship sails) that you must never climb onto a ship rail or allow kids to.
If the grandad did that then he is greatly at fault. Most likely will not be allowed to cruie again.

The key is in those few words, Realist.
IF the grandad did that.
They were already wrong about having a window open.
Maybe be best to wait till the true fact emerge.

The grandfather sat the girl in the window and lost his balance, and the girl fell to her death. "Sadly, she died on impact," Carmona said.

Another side to the incident:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-48927911
Chloe and her grandfather were playing in a water zone for children on the ship, Mr Winkleman said.
"Chloe wanted to bang on the glass" as she did during her brother's hockey games when she fell out of the window.
He said "her grandfather thought there was glass just like everywhere else, but there was not, and she was gone in an instant".
"The family needs answers as to why there would be an open window in a wall full of fixed windows in a kids' play area? Why would you have the danger without any warning, sign, or notice?"
