Life buoys and orange life rings are available throughout the ship. Having something to hang onto increases the person's chances of staying afloat and makes them easier to spot. After notifying the US Coast Guard, two aircraft were launched on Monday and scanned an area of over 200 miles “due to the uncertainty of the potential time of him falling overboard,” the Coast Guard said. The cruise line said in a release that surveillance video showed Hill jumping overboard.

The man plunged from the ship just after midnight, about 55 miles east of Port Canaveral, according to the military and Carnival officials. But unless the person was seen going over or spotted immediately, the odds may be against them. If the ship is moving the person may be rapidly swept away and if the location isn't known a single person's head can be extremely difficult to see in the vast, rolling ocean. The captain also will notify other ships in the area who are then obligated to help search. The ship will stop and the crew will try to pinpoint where and when it happened so they can start a thorough search in that area.

The search for the missing passenger began shortly after noon that day, following the ship’s path from Southwest Pass, Louisiana. "We are beyond grateful that this case ended with a positive outcome," said Lt. Seth Gross, a Sector New Orleans search and rescue mission coordinator. But security cameras often indicate the jump was intentional, as seems to have been the case with 30-year-old Jaylen Hill in July.

"The Carnival Care Team is providing support to the guest’s companion and traveling party who are on board," Carnival said. The 28-year-old man said he was determined to make it out of the Gulf of Mexico alive, calling it the experience of a lifetime. The Coast Guard shared video footage of the rescue on Twitter, showing the moment the man was found and brought aboard an agency helicopter. The 28-year-old from Lafayette, Alabama, was with 18 relatives on a Carnival cruise to Cozumel, Mexico, when somehow, he ended up overboard after a day of fun. In February a woman jumped to her death off the Carnival Valor into the Gulf of Mexico after she was confronted by ship security following an altercation in a hot tub.

Coast Guard calls off search for man seen jumping overboard off Carnival cruise ship

On Wednesday, just two days after Barnett's disappearance, the Coast Guard began its search for a 30-year-old who went overboard from an MSC cruise ship. "Our crews battled severe weather conditions for multiple days and made every effort to find Mr. Barnett. Suspending an active search is never a decision we make lightly, and we offer our most sincere condolences to Mr. Barnett's family and friends." The US Coast Guard has stopped its search for a 30-year-old male passenger who went overboard from the Carnival Elation cruise ship on Sunday. The sibling didn’t report her brother gone until noon the next day,  prompting the Cozumel, Mexico-bound ship to retrace its sailing path toward New Orleans Thursday, Carnival spokesperson Matt Lupoli told the outlet. Mason said she can’t understand why it took the cruise line as long as it did to locate the correct surveillance video and notify the Coast Guard.

The Mardi Gras had departed from Grand Turk and was slated to finish its scheduled route to the naval port as the search resumed, officials said. Peale, from New Hope, Virginia, was on his first cruise and was celebrating Blosser's birthday with her family, Linda Peale said. The Coast Guard has since narrowed its search area roughly 30 miles southwest of the Southwest Pass. "I just want answers, and I'm holding out for hope," Barnett's grandmother Dirlean Tate Mason told NBC News in a story published on Tuesday. "We have informed the U.S. Coast Guard and are providing assistance to the guest’s family that was traveling with him," they added. Barnett’s mother Elisha Reid told Business Insider that her daughter was previously informed that there was no footage of what happened.

Coast Guard called off a search after a 30-year-old man was reported missing on Carnival Cruise Line's Carnival Elation cruise ship and cruise officials said surveillance video showed him jumping off. Three weeks previous, a 42-year-old woman fell off the 10th deck of the Royal Caribbean International but was rescued by the ship's crew. In May a 35-year-old Carnival Magic passenger went overboard east of Jacksonville and was never found.

That marked a return for the cruise ship, which ran out of Jacksonville in 2015. "We offer our deepest condolences to the Hill family," said Petty Officer Eric Rodriguez, D7. "Our crews take our life saving mission very seriously. Any time we can't bring a loved one home to their family is a pain we all feel."

The U.S. Coast Guard and the Royal Bahamas Defence Force searched for the teen, identified as Cameron Robbins, who apparently jumped off the boat. James Presley, another passenger on the ship, told USA TODAY that immediately after the announcement was made, crew members threw life preservers with attached lights off the stern and port side of the ship. Ronnie Peale Jr., 35, went overboard from a Carnival Magic cruise ship traveling off the coast of Florida on Monday, the Coast Guard said. Between 2009 and 2019, there were 212 overboard incidents globally involving passengers and crew, according to statistics compiled for CLIA by consulting firm G.P. Cruise Radio prioritizes well-balanced cruise news coverage and accurate reporting, paired with ship reviews and tips. The ship was cleared to continue sailing to its scheduled Montego Bay, Jamaica call and is due to arrive on Wednesday morning.

David Custer, a passenger and a WNEM TV5 News anchor who was onboard the ship that departed on a 6-day cruise from Miami Sunday, told USA TODAY that passengers were informed that camera footage confirmed a person went overboard. 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. That cry is one of the worst things you can hear while you're on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean. It means someone has spotted a passenger or crew member either going over the side of the ship or in the water, and a life is at stake.

A Carnival cruise ship passenger fell overboard into the Gulf of Mexico and was found alive against all odds on Thanksgiving Day — more than 15 hours after vanishing, officials said Friday. A 28-year-old man who went overboard while on a Carnival cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico was rescued by the U.S. "The decision to suspend the active search efforts pending further development is never one we take lightly," Coast Guard District Seven search and rescue mission coordinator Lt. Cmdr. Christopher Hooper said in a statement. "We offer our most sincere condolences to Mr. Peale's family and friends." In Carnival's statement to PEOPLE, a spokesperson said that on Tuesday, they were "advised of the possibility of him wearing a different shirt, which allowed our security team to change the profile of the guest as we searched onboard video."

The Coast Guard will continue searching, widening the radius of the search based on probable locations, conditions and ocean currents, until they feel they're unlikely to find the person. Some cruise lines are adding overboard detection sensors which use thermal cameras and micro radars to detect incidents and alert crew members. This incident marks the 13th man overboard for the cruise industry in 2023.

Asked whether he thinks the man will ever get back out on the water, Hoefle said, "I think he'd go on another cruise. He knows how to survive. He survived once already and, just keep his feet on board this time." “He realistically could have been in the water for 15-plus hours before we were able to successfully rescue him,” Gross said. The Coast Guard is using air and water assets to search for the passenger.

The incident occurred after the ship departed from Grand Turk in the Turks and Caicos at 5 p.m., according to Carnival. Meanwhile, Carnival Cruise Line said its Care Team “is supporting the missing guest's family on board” the ship, which "arrived today to Montego Bay, Jamaica as planned." Authorities say the man who recently disappeared from a Carnival cruise ship appeared to have jumped overboard. Shout out or notify a crew member as soon as you can and note the time so the bridge officers can identify the exact position of the ship at that time. A cruise ship travels miles in a few minutes and does not turn around quickly. If you see someone fall or jump off a cruise ship, immediately throw them a flotation device if there is one nearby.
