In June 2023, a woman went overboard from Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas, reportedly after climbing a railing to sit on it for a photo. If you see someone jump or fall overboard, you should immediately throw a life ring toward them. Even if they cannot reach it, it will help to mark the spot where they fell. The crew will plot their location at the time of the fall and navigate back to the place it’s believed that the passenger has gone overboard.

A Man Fell From a Cruise Ship. And Survived.

"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. A 20-year-old man who was vacationing with his family on a cruise may have jumped overboard, The New York Post reported. Barnett was reported missing by a family member on the ship Monday, a day after the Carnival Glory departed New Orleans for a weeklong journey, Carnival Cruise Line told FOX Business. "In the video we showed to his family, he can be seen intentionally opening a gate, walking into a restricted area, and jumping from a lifeboat," a Carnival spokesperson told FOX Business in a statement. Thankfully, because it was daytime and there were people who witnessed the incident, the ship was able to turn around and locate her. She was rescued from the water by the ship’s pilot boat, and brought back onboard.

A viral video of a teenager who has gone missing appearing to jump overboard from a cruise ship may contain the last words he heard. The Baton Rouge 18-year-old was enjoying a sunset cruise with several hundred fellow graduates May 24 when he leaped overboard from a vessel designed to look like a pirate ship — apparently on a dare. As Louisiana high-school grad Cameron Robbins vanished beneath shark-infested waters after jumping from a boat in the Bahamas, someone yelled, “Bye, bye! A video has surfaced showing boat passengers in the Bahamas moments after an 18-year-old Louisiana star baseball player jumped off the ship in response to a dare, resulting in a fatal outcome. 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.

Watch: The rise and fall of the cruise industry

Hunter has previously produced digital content for local and national outlets, covering several topics from breaking news and current events to politics and pop culture. "In this time of grief, we thank our family, friends and well wishers for granting us the privacy we need to properly remember our son and mourn his loss." He then vanished from the view of the panicked onlookers and has not been seen since, with the water he went into described as 'really shark infested' by Royal Bahamas Defense Force Commodore Raymond King. Several others could be heard shouting to him that he's swimming away from a buoy which would have helped keep him afloat in the sea.

There are a number of passengers who were onboard at the time of the tragedy who have recollected the events. Reports have stated he ‘jumped off’ Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas in front of his family. Emil Avenarius, of Pensacola, Florida, who took the cruise after retiring from a 31-year-career in law enforcement, told the outlet he headed to the scene when he heard the “Man overboard” call. The woman was traveling with her husband on a five-day cruise to Mexico, Lupoli told NOLA.com. The cell phone footage obtained by Fox 8 shows the 32-year-old woman being restrained by security guards who hold her hands behind her back as she screams “Alicia” before being led away from the pool deck.

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. CBS Miami reported the Mardi Gras is the largest ship ever built for the cruise line. The first cruise ship with an onboard roller coaster, the Mardi Gras is 1,130 feet long, has 21 decks, 2,641 staterooms, and features six themed zones and restaurants from Guy Fieri, Emeril Lagasse, Rudi Sodamin and Shaquille O'Neal. "Sadly, after an exhaustive on-board search and a review of security camera video it was determined that he jumped," Lupoli said.

The video of Cameron in the water has gone viral since his disappearance and some viewers believe they've spotted something moving in the water which could be a shark. He was last seen paddling around in the water before disappearing from view, with the boat staying in place for several hours in an attempt to find Robbins. Royal Bahamas Defense Force Commodore Raymond King has told the Daily Mail the the water in that area are “really shark-infested,” which has fueled the shark-attack theory. U-High baseball coach Justin Morgan issued a statement following the tragedy.

A few hours after checking in, Robbins and the other newly minted high-school grads boarded the Pirate’s Revenge boat for an evening pleasure cruise near the uninhabited Athol Island, located north of Nassau. Lupoli said the Coast Guard released the ship from the search efforts and it continued to Port Canaveral. 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 Bahamas government has called off the rescue for Cameron and we are returning to Baton Rouge," the family said in a statement.

Some witnesses said she had been cuffed but that they did not know whether she was still restrained when she broke free and jumped, NOLA.com reported. Despite claims by passengers, a Carnival spokesman told The Post that the woman had not been handcuffed during the incident aboard the Carnival Valor. While there are no laws as such to make it illegal to jump from a cruise ship, those who survive often face legal action for their reckless behaviour and, depending on the circumstances, may be banned from cruising ever again. Sea survival expert, Mike Tipton, a professor from the University of Portsmouth and co-author of Essentials of Sea Survival, calculates most cruise ship falls sadly result in death. The man had been in the water for about five hours after falling from Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas early in the morning. After the rescue, the man was taken to a local hospital and was in good condition before flying back to the U.S.

The footage captures horrified onlookers on the ship frantically yelling at Robbins to “grab the buoy,” but the teen appears to swim in the opposite direction — possibly encountering a shark next to him. The passenger’s grandmother told NBC News his passenger card was last used at the ship’s casino and later at his cabin, adding his phone was left in his room and his bed wasn’t slept in. The Coast Guard assisted the Royal Bahamas Defence Force in search efforts by deploying aircrews. A chaotic video taken moments after the jump also shows the recent graduate ignoring onlookers’ pleas to grab a buoy.

Several passengers have told WAFB that the woman jumped after an incident between her and a man in the hot tub area on the 10th deck. As a result of the incident, Nick and his fellow passengers were banned from cruising with Royal Caribbean for life and the cruise line contacted local authorities to remove the group from the ship immediately after the incident. A person who has jumped from a cruise ship could hit something during the fall, or the impact of the water itself could result in a quick death. There’s also a risk of getting pulled under the ship into its propellors, hypothermia due to the shock of cold water and drowning due to large waves. "All of us at Holland America Line are deeply saddened by this incident and our thoughts and prayers are with the team member's family at this difficult time," the cruise line shared in a statement with CBS News Miami. 18-year-old Cameron Robbins of Louisiana was celebrating his high school graduation on board the cruise ship in the Bahamas when he was filmed going overboard on 24 May.

Sims hung out with Parker and his brother, Seth, 18, in the hot tub in the early hours of April before going their separate ways around 4 a.m. “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,” Sims said. Sims told the Post that after leaving the hot tub, they encountered the passenger's father while approaching the elevators.

The US Coast Guard and local Bahaman authorities spent days looking for Robbins before calling off their search last week after scouring more than 325 square miles of ocean. As CrimeOnline previously reported, Cameron Robbins, who had just graduated from University Laboratory School (U-High), jumped off the boat as a dare on May 24. A video obtained by DailyMail showed Robbins splashing in the water near the boat before he vanished. The ship was near Athol Island an uninhabited island located northeast of Nassau, according to WBRZ. Videos show Robbins jumping from the boat and swimming with a life preserver nearby.

“The decision to suspend a search-and-rescue case is never one we come to lightly,” Coast Guard spokesperson Chief Warrant Officer Tricia Eldredge told Fox 8. So, will you die if you fall off a cruise ship, or jump off cruise ship balconies intentionally? Icon of the Seas, the largest cruise ship in the world, measures a staggering 20 decks high. Jumping from extreme heights has an incredible impact, with enormous forces putting stress on your body including torn muscles, ruptured eardrums and even death on impact.

A few years ago, there were a lot of ‘man jumps off cruise ship’ headlines as 27-year-old Nick Naydev jumped 100 feet from Symphony of the Seas into shark-infested waters while the ship was docked in Nassau, Bahamas. Many things can influence this rate including the speed of the ship, the location, the time of day and the season. In early 2024 there were a couple of incidents of people jumping from a cruise ship. One person can be heard shouting 'bye bye' to the 18-year-old as he's in the water, as several people on board the cruise ship attempt to get his attention as he swims. Whatever happened to Cameron, the former University Laboratory School student has not been seen since his fellow passengers on the cruise ship saw him disappear from view shortly after going overboard.
