On Tuesday, a passenger from the world’s biggest cruise ship sailing for Royal Caribbean fell overboard.
A spokesperson for Royal Caribbean said that the passenger fell overboard during a seven-day cruise from Port Canaveral in Florida on Tuesday.
A spokesperson from the cruise said that the crew of the ship immediately started a search-and-rescue operation, and are working with the local authorities.
The spokesperson stated that “out of respect for the families, we will not disclose any further details regarding this unfortunate incident.”
A video shared on TikTok by cruise passengers shows a boat rescue near the ship trying to find the passenger who fell overboard.
“We have a report that a man has fallen overboard. We have slowed down the ship. We are returning to our original position. “We will begin a search-and-rescue operation,” an employee is heard on the cruise ship’s public address system.
