Officials told the New York Post that the “water emergency incidents” involved guests travelling on two different ships.
The drownings happened at Celebration Key on Grand Bahama Island.
“Carnival lifeguards and medical teams working at the resort responded to both incidents, one occurring in the lagoon and the other at the beach,” a spokesperson said.
The passengers are reported to be a 79-year-old man and a 74-year-old woman, both of whom are American nationals.
The Royal Bahamas Police Force has now opened an investigation into the deaths.
The man had been snorkeling at the beach when he became unresponsive, according to reports.
It happened just before noon on August 15, according to officials.
A lifeguard rushed to his aid and brought him back to shore where CPR was administered.
But he was sadly pronounced dead shortly afterwards.
The second incident happened at around 2.30pm, when the woman was found unresponsive in a swimming pool.
Autopsies are being carried out on both passengers.
