Cruise ships have safeguards to prevent passengers from going overboard and are required by the Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2010 to have rails that are "located not less than 42 inches above the cabin deck." Coast Guard have been checking in with the family to offer their support but that Carnival had stopped. "(To) me, personally speaking, you should be reaching out every minute. There’s so many cases where stuff gets shoved under the rug, and it's 40 years later and families still suffer." The cruise line said the police have cleared Carnival Conquest to sail, and the Carnival Care Team is supporting the family.

The Coast Guard is searching an approximately 200-mile area for an unaccounted-for 28-year-old man from the Carnival Glory cruise ship. 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. "He can be seen climbing on a lifeboat and jumping from there," the spokesperson said. Miami-Dade police issued a missing person's alert Tuesday morning for McGrath, who was last seen in a black shirt, shorts and gray sneakers. Police said he "may be in need of services" and asked anyone with information to contact authorities. "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 said in a statement.

“We had a passenger died on an excursion in Jamaica & carnival didn’t say anything we heard from other passengers,” a person said. She adds that her friends have been in contact with the family, and they told her that when they post the missing person poster on the Carnival Facebook page, it gets pulled down. His family reported him missing when they couldn’t find him after everyone had disembarked the cruise. “He can be seen climbing on a lifeboat and jumping from there,” the spokesperson said. Authorities say the man who recently disappeared from a Carnival cruise ship appeared to have jumped overboard.

It was supposed to be a vacation, but for us, it’s hell,” she told the outlet. The US Coast Guard has been searching a 200-mile area in treacherous weather conditions for Barnett, who was last seen by loved ones just before midnight as he said he was heading to his room, but his bed was never slept in. Reid said Carnival initially told her daughter, who was on the trip, that there was no video of the incident – and she added that she didn’t find out Barnett was missing until a cousin messaged her. Mason said a granddaughter confirmed that Barnett climbed over the edge of the rail and jumped on the lifeboat, but walked on it for a few minutes before he appeared to slip and fall off.

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. A cab driver later told police that he gave a ride that day to a man matching Solomon's description, according to Mexican news outlets. The driver allegedly told police that he dropped the man off on a dirt road leading to Isla de la Pasìon, a small island. The man did not have money so he gave his watch as payment, La Jornada Maya reported, quoting what police said the taxi driver told them. His disappearance "is so random, out of nowhere," Danielle McGrath, Kevin McGrath's sister, told USA TODAY. "Everyone has different relationships with the person but me, how I know my brother, how I last spoke to him, his energy, his spirit. This is definitely not like him."

NORTH PORT, Fla. (SNN TV)—- A man who jumped off a Royal Caribbean cruise last week has been identified as a former North Port High School football player. “Coast Guard issued broadcasts and messages to mariners in the Gulf of Mexico notifying them of the missing passenger,” the agency added. The Post has reached out to Carnival for comment about the family’s latest statements. Not to (die by) suicide or anything,” Mason told NOLA.com. Several U.S. Coast Guard boats from Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale also assisted in the 80-hour search, he said, along with officials from Miami-Dade Police, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

On Sept. 4 and searched 3,300 square nautical miles with helicopters but found nothing, according to Petty Officer Ryan Estrada, in Miami. Cruise ships have safeguards to prevent passengers from going overboard, and are required by the Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2010 to have rails that are "located not less than 42 inches above the cabin deck." The ship’s overboard detection system never went off, and there is no other evidence that Kevin McGrath went overboard, according to the MDPD.

Coast Guard searches for man missing from Louisiana cruise ship

Between 2009 and 2019 there were reports of 212 people going overboard on a cruise ship, and only 48 of them were successfully rescued, according to a report compiled for Cruise Lines International Association by consulting firm G.P. 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.

“He can be seen climbing on a lifeboat and jumping from there,” Lupoli said. Others have brought of the case of 23-year-old Amy Lynn Bradley who went missing on a Royal Caribbean International cruise in 1998. To this day she was never found and there are rumors that she’s dead or was sold into sex trafficking. The video has more than 630,000 views and over 1,800 comments as of Wednesday morning. On Facebook, Mason said she and her family are in need of prayers as they await answers.

One contributor noted that police had been playing a recording of Solomon’s wife over loud speakers in various areas as they search. Martha Warren, one of Solomon’s cousins, said in an April 12 Facebook post that more than 100 locals, ex-patriots and vacationers have joined in the search, along with a number of people working solo. Professional teams are also engaged, she said, and the family is not giving up hope even though a promising tip on April 12 didn’t pan out. Edmond Bradley "Brad" Solomon III, a 66-year-old West Ashley native, was last seen April 3 after disembarking from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship in port at the island. A frantic search started almost immediately and now has stretched to a 10th day.

Barnett's grandmother Dirlean Tate Mason, who is not on the cruise, is anxiously waiting for news. She said that Tyler Barnett works on the river barges in Louisiana and that she does not think he would try to take his own life. The more specific location also means the Coast Guard has been able to launch an HC-130 plane and an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter, he said. The search is 30 miles southwest of Southwest Pass, Louisiana, the Coast Guard said.

The Liberty of the Seas was on a four-day cruise that departed from Port Everglades on Monday and returned Friday morning, according to cruise-tracking website CruiseMapper. Another passenger told the Post his family appeared "horrified" by what had happened. "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." The ongoing search for a Charleston man who has been missing in Mexico for more than a week has turned to remote areas of Cozumel, his family noted on social media. 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.

The time between someone going overboard and the cruise ship launching a search-and-rescue mission can often be the difference between life and death. 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. In a post on X, the Coast Guard said search efforts were paused Monday night because of dangerous weather conditions, including rough seas and strong winds. It said it would launch more search assets as soon as conditions allowed.

Parker, who was home-schooled, played football for North Port High School during the 2021 season, according to North Port H.S. The Coast Guard is in charge of the search and rescue operations and cleared Carnival Glory to proceed to Montego Bay, Jamaica, as scheduled. His sister, Destiny Barnett, told NBC News that she and 13 other relatives also were on the cruise.
