“From what my granddaughter could tell from the poor quality of the footage, it looked like he went to move and slipped off. I know Tyler wouldn’t deliberately jump,” Barnett's grandmother Dirlean Tate Mason told NBC News on Thursday. She said her granddaughter Destiny Barnett reviewed the video of Barnett on the ship. "Our thoughts are with the guest and her family, and our Care Team is providing support," Carnival said in a statement. A Carnival Cruise Line passenger went overboard on the line’s Carnival Glory ship.

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. The U.S. Coast Guard has suspended its search for a Virginia man who fell from a cruise ship balcony earlier this week. According to the Washington Post, about 386 people were reported to have gone overboard on the major cruise lines between 2000 to 2020. 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.

News of the apparent suicide attempt quickly spread among the guests — and many of them tried to help in any way they could. In a statement to The Post, Royal Caribbean said its crew immediately sprang into action following the incident. Christina Coulter is a U.S. and World reporter for Fox News Digital. "So many people came out of their cabins to stare at the sea, hoping to be able to aid in finding the person," she said. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Man jumps from Carnival Cruise Line ship 55 miles off Florida coast

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 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. 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. 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." 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. So far, crews have searched more than 200 miles of water for the missing passenger, according to the agency.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the guest and his family." The ship was to return to Long Beach as scheduled Sunday morning, the cruise line said. A graduate of New York University's Arthur L.

The Coast Guard shared video footage of the rescue on Twitter, showing the moment the man was found and brought aboard an agency helicopter.

"We have informed the U.S. Coast Guard and are providing assistance to the guest’s family that was traveling with him," they added. 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. Barnett was on the cruise with 13 of his family members when he went overboard. His sister Destiny Barnett said on Tuesday that she felt trapped on the cruise, unable to enjoy the vacation, but also unable to leave without knowing what happened to her brother. “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,” DiGeorge said. According to the company's website, the Carnival Miracle accommodates more than 2,100 guests and 934 crew members.

A passenger who fell off a cruise ship late Wednesday night was rescued on Thursday evening. In 2018, a cruise ship worker was rescued when another cruise ship spotted him 22 hours after he went overboard northwest of Cuba, long after the Coast Guard had called off the search. But security cameras often indicate the jump was intentional, as seems to have been the case with 30-year-old Jaylen Hill in July. Hill was reported missing by family members on the Carnival Elation and the cruise line said surveillance video showed him jumping over the side. The U.S. Coast Guard search was called off about 36 hours later. All ships have "safety barriers that are regulated by U.S. Coast Guard standards and prevent a guest from falling off," according to Carnival spokesperson Matt Lupoli.

Barnett’s mother Elisha Reid told Business Insider that her daughter was previously informed that there was no footage of what happened. The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Norfolk field office is investigating, with the help of other agencies, according to a spokesperson. Coast Guard crews are working with members of the Mexican navy to find the woman, who appeared to be in her 20s. "He told me to hold on to this life vest, and I was just thinking 'Thank you, you were like a guardian angel coming down for me,'" he said.

As time passed and the sun began to set, Grimes said the water started getting colder. "When I came to, regained consciousness, I was in the water with no boat in sight," he said. "I can't float myself, even when I'm trying to. So there had to be ... the Lord was with me while I was out there because something was holding me up the whole time I was passed out." 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. "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.

A cruise turned into a nightmare for people aboard Royal Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas when a young man jumped overboard shortly after 4 a.m. 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. The father of a 20-year-old Florida man who leaped from the 11th floor of a Royal Caribbean cruise ship 57 miles from shore last week believes his "master diver" son is still alive, according to a report. 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.
