This has led many people to think that she somehow fell, jumped, or was pushed overboard. In the last sighting of her, she was seen on surveillance video talking on one of the ship’s internal phones. A passenger approached her and asked her if she was okay, it looks like she replied to say yes. She then hung up the phone and walked away never to be seen again. Rebecca Coriam, 24, was an employee on the Disney Wonder cruise ship who disappeared on May 22, 2011.

A group of cruise passengers stranded off the coast of Africa spent 6 days chasing the ship to get back on

A 2020 study from the industry trade group Cruise Lines International Association found that 19 people go overboard cruise ships each year on average. At least six people have gone overboard in the last three months, promoting debate over whether cruise ships should be required to install man-overboard detection systems. One of the crew members reported that Carver appeared to be missing, but the ship made no effort to find her. They argue that it’s not uncommon for passengers to sleep in other people’s cabins or even disembark at one of the ports.

In September, a 26-year-old man was reported missing from the Carnival cruise ship Conquest after it docked at the Port of Miami in Florida. Tyler Barnett, of Houma, La., was last seen around midnight on Monday morning after the ship left Sunday for a week-long Western Caribbean cruise, according to the Coast Guard which is conducting the search. The most common theory is that she was swept overboard from the crew pool, or that she jumped or fell from the ship. Her family states that she would never willingly have gone overboard but it’s not clear whether this was a simple accident or something more sinister.

Second Icon-Class Ship Will Have a Furry Family Member

If a person cannot be found on board the ship after a search, the cruise liner should return to the location that they were last known to have been on board the ship. There are no police on a cruise ship, but crew members will report disappearances to the local authorities. You may have seen TV shows like ‘Cruise Ship Killers’ or ‘Disappeared – Troubled Waters’ and wanted to know more about people going missing on cruise ships. It really is a rare event, but in this post, we will take a look at some disappearances at sea.

In a post on X, the Coast Guard said search efforts were paused Monday night because of dangerous weather conditions, including rough seas and strong winds. It said it would launch more search assets as soon as conditions allowed. The Coast Guard on Wednesday night suspended the search for a cruise ship passenger who is believed to have fallen into the sea east of Florida on Monday morning, officials said. This is one of the most popular cruise passenger videos missing the ship in recent times. The original video which Cruise Hive first reported on back in April has received over a Million views but that doesn’t include all the copycat videos and television network coverage.

The Vision of the Seas’ next stop is Port Canaveral, Florida, after which it will sail throughout the Bahamas before returning to Baltimore on Saturday. The Coast Guard deployed a C-130 Hercules plane from Elizabeth City, North Carolina, and another C-130 crew responded from Clearwater, Florida, to relieve the first. His sister, Destiny Barnett, told NBC News that she and 13 other relatives also were on the cruise. “They hit a wave and he went down off the lifeboat,” Reid, who was not on the ship, told Business Insider. Norwegian said it helped the passengers by facilitating their visas, and would pay them back for the trip from Gambia to Senegal.

Fortunately, Alexis was able to get some satisfactory resolution to her missed cruise. A follow-up post filmed in front of a stunningly decorated Christmas tree and labeled “Cruise Update” explains more about the situation and the next steps. The original video has had more than 40,000 comments, many of which are admonishing Alexis for not flying in a day or two before the cruise and staying in a hotel prior to sailing. The 145,000-gross-ton Discovery Princess is the newest ship in Princess Cruises fleet and the first ever to homeport on the West Coast. She offers a variety of Mexican Riviera and California coast itineraries, as well as occasional longer sailings to Hawaii. In May 2024, the ship will reposition to Seattle for the Alaska sailing season.

In August, a Royal Caribbean passenger went overboard from the Wonder of the Seas, the largest cruise ship in the world, while it was off the coast of Cuba during a voyage from Florida. Officials told The Post on Wednesday that Tyler Barnett, 28, was seen on surveillance video climbing onto a lifeboat and then leaping off the side of the Jamaica-bound Carnival Glory in the early hours of Monday. But, six days after being left behind in São Tomé and Príncipe, the cruise line confirmed the eight passengers, including the Campbells, finally re-embarked in Senegal on Tuesday. The first attempt to get the guests back on the ship occurred on Monday, when they hoped to re-embark at a port in Banjul, Gambia, some 1,800 miles from São Tomé and Príncipe. While there is no confirmation that this is the sailing Alexis missed – the video could have been taken weeks earlier – it is likely this was the barely missed cruise. Dirlean Tate Mason, Barnett's grandmother, told NBC News his passenger card was last used at the ship’s casino and then later at his cabin door, but that his phone was in his room and his bed was not slept in.

Miami-Dade Police Department identified the missing man as Kevin McGrath, 26. A spokesperson with the department told Insider that McGrath was last seen by his brother at approximately 2 a.m. Between 2009 and 2019, there were 212 overboard incidents around the world involving passengers and crew, according to statistics compiled for Cruise Lines International Association by consulting firm G.P. Ship staff and security searched the ship but were unsuccessful, a spokesperson for the Miami-Dade Police Department told USA TODAY. Between 2009 and 2019, there were 212 overboard incidents globally involving passengers and crew, according to statistics compiled for Cruise Lines International Association by consulting firm G.P. The Coast Guard said the passenger was 28-year-old Tyler Barnett from Houma, Louisiana.

Millions of people go on cruises each year and virtually all of them come home safely. A few hundred people going missing over two decades is a very small percentage and it’s most definitely not something that you should worry about, so please don’t let it put you off from cruising. On the night of her disappearance, she sang karaoke with her daughter and visited the casino, but she failed to meet her parents to play Bingo as arranged. Her father began to search for her and discovered that her handbag had been found close to the railings.

A TikTok poster by the name of Alexis B (alexisb639) posted a video showing Princess Cruises’ Discovery Princess pushing away from the pier in Long Beach, California. The only catch is that Alexis, along with several other passengers, are still in the parking lot – not on the cruise ship beginning their vacation. Coast Guard officials are searching Florida waters after a Carnival cruise passenger disappeared shortly before the ship returned to PortMiami this week. Natalia Rodrigues, a public relations manager for Carnival Cruise Line, said a team is "supporting the missing guest's family on board" and the ship is scheduled to dock in Montego Bay as scheduled Wednesday.

McGrath was not detected by any of the ship's surveillance systems, including security cameras and US Customs and Border Patrol during the debarkation process. The missing person's report came right as passengers were beginning to disembark in PortMiami following the the four-day Bahamas venture, the cruise line said. He was reported missing at approximately 7 a.m on Monday, a spokesperson with the cruise line told Insider. Tyler Barnett of Houma, Louisiana, was last seen onboard just after midnight on Monday, the Coast Guard reported, after the ship left New Orleans but before its next scheduled stop in Montego Bay on Wednesday. The search for a missing Carnival cruise passenger was suspended Thursday after he mysteriously disappeared over Labor Day weekend. In April, Coast Guard crews suspended a search for an Australian passenger who fell off a cruise off Hawaii after a three-day search yielded no results.

Ronnie Peale, 35, was identified as the passenger who fell about 4 a.m. As the Carnival Magic cruise ship was around 180 miles east of Jacksonville. The trio was meant to disembark with the rest of the passengers when the cruise concluded in La Romana on the following day, March 11, 2024. It’s typically the responsibility of the cruisers to make sure they return on time. However, three passengers who were sailing on Norwegian Sky went missing during a port call to Tortola on March 10, 2024.
