Officials said the ship was 57 miles from Great Inagua when the man jumped over the side of the ship, according to United Press International. The man jumped from the Carnival Cruise Line ship Mardi Gras just after midnight about 55 miles east of Port Canaveral, according to the Coast Guard and Carnival. The ship departed Baltimore on Friday and made its first stop in Orlando on Sunday, arriving in the Bimini Islands on Christmas Day, according to the cruise itinerary. Peale, from New Hope, Virginia, was on his first cruise and was celebrating Blosser's birthday with her family, Linda Peale said.

"The ship's crew immediately launched a search and rescue effort alongside the U.S. Coast Guard, who has taken over the search," Royal Caribbean said in a statement. "Our care team is providing support and assistance to the guest's family during this difficult time. For the privacy of the guest and their family, we have no additional details to share." “The ship’s crew immediately launched a search and rescue effort alongside the U.S. Coast Guard, who has taken over the search,” a spokesman for Royal Caribbean said in a statement. The cruise ship was on a four-day Bahamas sailing and on its way back to Jacksonville, Florida, at the time of the incident, Matt Lupoli, a Carnival spokesperson, said.

Barnett’s mother Elisha Reid told Business Insider that her daughter was previously informed that there was no footage of what happened. “He can be seen climbing on a lifeboat and jumping from there,” the spokesperson said. Carnival did not respond to questions regarding which man overboard-detection technologies are in place on board the Carnival Elation ship.

After searching more than 5,171 square miles over the course of 60 hours, the Coast Guard said Wednesday night that it has suspended search efforts for Peale. Parker's father owns an air conditioning business, and the family was on the cruise as guests of Florida-based air conditioning wholesaler Tropic Supply, the Daily Mail reported. Dozens of their contractors had been invited onto the cruise for the company's 50th anniversary. Last month, a 23-year-old man who felt seasick fell overboard from the MSC Euribia cruise ship while crossing the North Sea in Europe and was presumed dead. The Coast Guard confirmed to The Post it is still conducting a search and rescue operation in the waters off Cuba. The man’s father claimed to have thrown over six life rings in the hopes of saving his son before the giant ship could come to a stop 20 minutes later where the Royal Caribbean launched search boats.

The tragic news has been further confirmed by passengers, who said it appeared to be an ‘impulsive’ and ‘spur of the moment’ decision. The Liberty of the Seas cruise ship is the 35th largest in the world, the Coast Guard said. "The Carnival Care Team is supporting the guest's family. Mardi Gras," said Carnival spokesman Matt Lupoli.

The shop has responded to the shocking story

His dad was fussing at him for being drunk, I guess,” Sims said of the moment before Parker jumped. According to the Washington Post, about 386 people were reported to have gone overboard on the major cruise lines between 2000 to 2020. According to the Coast Guard, the man was on the Liberty of the Seas cruise ship Thursday morning when he went overboard 57 miles from Great Inagua in the Bahamas.

Nearly 400 people have gone overboard on major cruise lines between 2000 and 2020, according to the Washington Post. The 18-story ship was sailing between Cuba and the Bahamas’ Grand Inagua Island when the as-yet-unidentified man jumped off one of the decks. Strasburg said a Coast Guard cutter and helicopter were searching for the missing man and would continue to do so for as long as there is reasonable evidence to suggest survival. There are a number of passengers who were onboard at the time of the tragedy who have recollected the events.

FORT LAUDERDALE — A search is underway for a cruise ship crewmember who went overboard while the vessel was still at sea before docking in South Florida this weekend. The United States Coast Guard has called off the search for a 20-year-old man who jumped overboard on a Royal Caribbean cruise as family members stood by, stunned. The passenger — who was showing signs of hypothermia, shock and dehydration — told rescuers he wasn’t sure how he’d fallen overboard but confirmed he’d been on the cruise ship. CBS Miami reported the Mardi Gras is the largest ship ever built for the cruise line. The U.S. Coast Guard has suspended its search for a Virginia man who fell from a cruise ship balcony earlier this week. Royal Caribbean told the Post in a statement that the ship's crew "immediately launched a search and rescue effort alongside the U.S. Coast Guard, who has taken over the search."

“He realistically could have been in the water for 15-plus hours before we were able to successfully rescue him,” Gross said. The young man is believed to have ‘jumped off’ Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas in front of his family, who were left looking on ‘helplessly’. The eight-day roundtrip was themed "Christmas," according to the cruise line's website.
