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.

Parker’s father owns an air conditioning company and the family was cruising on the boat as guests of a wholesale company, according to the New York Post. The Liberty of the Seas cruise ship is the 35th largest in the world, the Coast Guard said.

Parker jumped off the 18-deck Liberty of the Seas, and Royal Caribbean said it “immediately” launched search boats to look for him with help from the U.S. According to a witness, crews made multiple unsuccessful attempts to locate Robbins as the boat, resembling a pirate ship, stayed in the area for several hours.

A 20-year-old man who was vacationing with his family on a cruise may have jumped overboard, The New York Post reported. His dad was fussing at him for being drunk, I guess,” Sims said of the moment before Parker jumped. 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.

Deborah Morrison, another passenger, told the Post that "there was a lot of yelling, and the crew was alerted immediately" after Levion jumped. "As we were walking from the hot tub back to the elevators, his dad and brother were walking towards us," passenger Bryan Sims told the Post. "His dad was fussing at him for being drunk, I guess. When we got to them, he said to his dad, 'I'll fix this right now.' And he jumped out the window in front of us all." Under the 2010 Cruise Vessel Security and Safety law, cruise ships must have 42-inch guard rails and man-overboard imaging or detection systems. However, not all cruise ships have implemented recently developed automatic man-overboard-detection technology, which uses thermal cameras and radars to immediately alert crew members when a person goes overboard.

"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. The Louisiana high school graduate who disappeared after leaping off a cruise ship into dark waters off the Bahamas last week may have met a grisly fate in the “shark-infested” area, a local official said. In December, an MSC Cruises passenger jumped from one of its ships while sailing from Europe to South America.

Witnesses said the man’s father and brother watched as he jumped, seemingly on a spur of the moment decision, over the side, according to The New York Post. 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. On Facebook, Mason said she and her family are in need of prayers as they await answers. “We are holding on to hope and prayer that he will be found safe,” she wrote.

The chances of falling overboard on a cruise ship are extremely low. Royal Caribbean confirmed that a passenger, whose identity has not been revealed, went overboard near The Bahamas at about 4 a.m. Royal Caribbean said it “immediately” launched search boats to look for him with help from the US Coast Guard.

"The ship's crew immediately launched a search and rescue effort alongside the US Coast Guard, who has taken over the search," the Royal Caribbean spokesperson said. Deborah Morrison, another passenger on board the cruise, told the Post that "there was a lot of yelling and that the crew was alerted immediately." About 386 people were reported to have gone overboard on major cruise lines between 2000 and 2020, according to The Washington Post. A study by Cruise Lines International Association found that only 28% of those who fell overboard between 2009 and 2019 survived. “There was a lot of yelling, and the crew was alerted immediately,” another passenger,  Deborah Morrison, told The Post. The US Coast Guard has called off the search for the 20-year-old who is said to have jumped overboard from a cruise ship.

The Mardi Gras and the cruise ship Elation also participated in the search, said Coast Guard spokesman David Micallef. So far, crews have searched more than 200 miles of water for the missing passenger, according to the agency. Security footage from the Carnival Glory “shows the man jumping off the cruise ship,” according to a Tuesday night update from the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard called off its own search two days later, after reportedly scouring over 325 square miles.
