There have been several instances of people going overboard on the ship, including a 35-year-old who jumped into the water near Florida in 2007 and was rescued eight hours later. A 65-year-old woman was found dead after jumping overboard in 2015, and another passenger, a 21-year-old student, was never found after falling overboard south of the Bahamas that same year. He was reported missing by his fiancée late Monday afternoon, the cruise ship operator told Insider's Natalie Musumeci and Hannah Towey on Tuesday. According to data from the cruise industry consultancy firm GP Wild, there were 212 man overboard incidents on cruise ships from 2009 to 2019.

Carnival crew conducted an "extensive" search on board the ship but failed to find McGrath. 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. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating the fall of a Carnival cruise passenger who fell overboard on his first cruise, Fox News Digital reported on Wednesday.

In some cases, due to laws that restrict where ships can be boarded, they might not be able to join the vessel at all. Her disappearance was not reported to the police until Carver’s family filed a missing person report after not hearing from her for several days. When they filed the report, they were not even aware that she had gone on a cruise. To put this into context, many millions of people have cruised in that time – likely over 500 million. Here's Cruise Hive's weekly cruise news recap, including a missing passenger, new ships, and construction milestones. Remember, each situation may vary, and the appropriate actions will depend on the specific circumstances surrounding your missed cruise ship departure.

Tragedy At Sea – How Many People Go Missing On Cruise Ships And Why?

The Coast Guard was forced to temporarily suspend its efforts overnight due to extreme weather, but it resumed Tuesday morning. Miami-Dade police eventually cleared the Carnival Conquest to set sail again. The ship is currently located in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean on its way to the Bahamas, cruise tracking data shows. Reid told BI her son's key card was used to enter the ship's casino just after midnight and then to enter his room 12 minutes later. Barnett's mother, Reid, said Carnival initially told her daughter — who is on the ship — there was no footage of what happened to her son. The cruise line said teams were helping Barnett's family members who were still on board and that the US Coast Guard cleared Carnival Glory to carry on with its cruise.

It was supposed to be a vacation, but for us, it’s hell,” she told the outlet. "He can be seen climbing on a lifeboat and jumping from there," the spokesperson said. LaBarre sought help from the assistant hotel director of the ship, which had yet to leave Miami. He, in turn, arranged to have Norwegian's transfer company pick up the bags and rush them to the vessel before it departed. "You have an advocate available to you to help if something doesn't go as planned," said Jill LaBarre, vice president of business development at Palm Coast Travel, owner of Oasis Travel Network and SmartCruiser.com. "I'm not sure the occasional cruiser would know where to begin to salvage their trip [after a missed departure]."

While earlier reports indicated there was no video showing Barnett going overboard, security crews changed his profile after they were informed of the possibility that he was wearing a different shirt. It's not going to be easy to salvage your trip if you are late for your cruise departure. My advice is to always travel to the port of departure at least a day in advance of a cruise. There are plenty of travelers these days who pooh-pooh the notion of booking through a travel agent. But in the case of a missed cruise departure, travel agents can be a big help. That said, "some travel insurance plans will provide trip cancellation coverage if the insured is involved in a documented traffic accident on the way to their departure point," he added.

Her father awoke one morning to find her missing and investigators have rejected claims she may have fallen overboard due to her history as a strong swimmer and no sign of her body in the water. She was never found, though several people have reported sightings, including a U.S. Navy soldier who said Bradley approached him at a brothel asking for help. Merrian Carver was 40 when she went missing on a seven-day Royal Caribbean cruise in 2004 and her father later founded the International Cruise Victims organization. He claims Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises tried to cover up his daughter’s disappearance and worked against his investigators in the wake of the incident. Jeffrey Maltzman, Royal Caribbean's attorney, told ABC News in 2009 there was no evidence of a cover-up.

Cruise ships operate on strict itineraries and departure times, and they have to adhere to those schedules to ensure a smooth sailing experience for all passengers. If you miss the ship’s departure, it will continue its journey without you. The Coast Guard is searching for Tyler Barnett, who went missing Monday morning from the Carnival Glory, which is bound for Montego Bay, Jamaica. Barnett, of Houma, Louisiana, the father of twin girls, was reported missing that afternoon, and the Coast Guard sent two aircraft to search, following the ship’s track toward Jamaica, it said.

In July, another man was reported missing from the Carnival Elation cruise ship off the coast of Florida after he was believed to have deliberately jumped from the ship. Barnett is not the first passenger this year reported to have gone missing during a Carnival cruise. 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. Some lines are a bit vague about what exactly they will do to help passengers reach the ship. Just like airplanes, cruise ships are on tight schedules — much tighter than you may realize. If a ship delays its departure by an hour while it waits for you to arrive, it very well may arrive an hour late at its next port of call.

A missing 28-year-old cruise passenger on the Carnival Glory is believed to have gone overboard on Monday, and the Coast Guard is searching the waters near New Orleans to find him. The Coast Guard launched search and rescue crews Thursday afternoon and alerted nearby ships to be watchful. "The Coast Guard is searching an approximately 200-mile area for an unaccounted-for 28-year-old man from the Carnival Glory cruise ship," the Coast Guard wrote in a Tuesday morning post on X, formerly Twitter.

Stay proactive, seek guidance from reliable sources, and stay positive as you work towards finding a resolution. As a result, you might incur additional expenses to catch up with the cruise ship at its next port of call. This can include arranging alternative transportation, such as flights or ground transportation, accommodation, meals, and possibly even visa costs, depending on the destination. These unplanned expenses can quickly add up and impact your budget for the trip. As the missing passenger, Brad Solomon III, remains missing in Cozumel, Mexico, a family member reports that authorities’ search and rescue efforts have turned into recovery efforts. Mary Roeloffs is a Forbes reporter who covers breaking news with a frequent focus on the entertainment industry, streaming, sports news, publishing, pop culture and climate change.

Ship captains will do all they can to avoid disrupting the planned schedule. Keep in mind that some of the bigger departure ports such as Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades can be jammed with traffic on departure days, slowing down the arrival process. I once got stuck in a massive traffic jam around one of the guard gates at Port Everglades. It added at least 15 minutes to what should have been a quick five- to 10-minute Uber ride from a nearby hotel.

Carnival said it had informed the Coast Guard and the man's family of the development. The cruise line didn't release the man's name — though the man's mother, Elisha Reid, told BI in an earlier interview that her son, Barnett, was the missing passenger. While the passenger's mom told Business Insider she was hopeful he was still alive, she said that she was worried he might not have survived. She also said she found out from family — not the cruise line — that her son was missing. The United States Coast Guard said late on Wednesday that it has suspended search efforts for Peale. Matt Lupoli, Carnival’s senior manager of public relations, said video appears to show the missing passenger jumping overboard.

Speaking of the room, LaBarre's contact on the ship had the family upgraded, too. For starters, she quickly rebooked the family on a flight to St. Thomas, where the ship would be two days later, so the family could join it there. She also booked the family into a resort in St. Thomas for the two days until the ship arrived. At many ports, a local harbor pilot will be waiting for your ship on a boat just offshore to help guide it in, and they will be expecting your vessel at an appointed time. This service often comes with a high charge, and if the ship arrives too far behind schedule, it can result in hefty fees.
