The United States Coast Guard confirmed this week that a 42-year-old woman was ultimately saved after falling off the 10th deck of the Mariner of the Seas on Sunday as the ship was bound for the island of Curaçao. In June, a 42-year-old woman was rescued after she fell off the 10th-floor deck of Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas about 25 miles south of Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic during a trip from Florida. Reeta Sahani, 64, was declared missing Monday after her husband, Jakesh Sahani, 70, woke up in the middle of the night and noticed she was not in their cabin in the Spectrum of the Seas, the Straits Times first reported.

The six-day cruise departed Miami this past Sunday and is expected to return Saturday. The U.S. Coast Guard was notified, and the cruise line is providing support to the guest's wife. The ship was to return to Long Beach as scheduled Sunday morning, the cruise line said. Carnival Cruise Line said the ship was released after having assisted with the search and continued on to Ensenada, about a 90-minute drive from the U.S. border. Kuhn, who declined to comment to NBC News on Wednesday, shared some videos he posted on Twitter of the rescue efforts.

For alone time, escape to the ship’s Central Park and meander through a forest of trees. A Carnival spokesperson said that the cruise line determined Hill "jumped" from the ship "after an exhaustive on-board search and a review of security camera video." Despite the headline-grabbing tales of murky seas and foul play, overboard incidents remain a real rarity on cruise ships, Insider previously reported. Just 28% of cruise ship passengers who fall overboard are safely rescued, according to a Cruise Lines International Association report that tracked operational incidents from 2009 to 2019. “The passenger was recovered alive and reported to be in good health, after reportedly falling into the water from 10th deck of the ship," it said. "No medical evacuation of the passenger was requested by the cruise ship.

The ship arrived back its home port of New Orleans on Thursday morning, Carnival said. However, after 14 hours of searching, the Coast Guard announced that it suspended its mission. “Eventually my father was told to get down from the ship because there was another cruise that was going to take place, but we think she may still be on the ship, stuck somewhere,” Apoorv told the outlet before receiving the grim update. “With the footage we have unfortunately learned that my mother has passed away,” wrote the grieving son, who is a businessman based in Melbourne, Australia. "I think there was a majority of people that saw something [in the water] and that's really where it took over." Carnival did not respond to questions regarding which man overboard-detection technologies are in place on board the Carnival Elation ship.

Many passengers aboard the cruise ship said they had expected the worst as they watched the scene unfold from their balconies, Fox35 reported. According to a report from the Cruise Lines International Association, there were 212 overboard incidents from 2009 to 2019, and only 48 — or 28.2% — of those who fell overboard were successfully rescued. "Sadly, after an exhaustive on-board search and a review of security camera video it was determined that he jumped," Lupoli said.

Cuban officials called off their search for Ropich after they couldn't find the teen. The Coast Guard searched over 5,171 square miles and more than 60 hours, but crews could not find Peale Jr. A woman fell off a Carnival Cruise Line ship balcony and into the Pacific Ocean early Saturday, spurring an international search effort. The Coast Guard has searched 3,600 square nautical miles for the missing passenger while dealing with difficult search conditions including limited visibility, large swells and gale force winds, according to Petty Officer Jose Hernandez. In one of the videos, a small boat can be seen in the distance and people aboard the cruise ship are heard clapping, whistling and cheering.

While the kids play in the pirate-themed water park, walk the long promenade that wraps around the 1,100-foot ship, meant to feel like a stroll through a seaside town. Its New York-inspired design includes a 9 1/2-foot replica of the Statue of Liberty in the casino, as well as a three-story Times Square, an entertainment and shopping area, with a 28-foot-high projection of the Manhattan skyline. In Carnival's statement to PEOPLE, a spokesperson said that on Tuesday, they were "advised of the possibility of him wearing a different shirt, which allowed our security team to change the profile of the guest as we searched onboard video." According to a report from the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), there were 212 overboard incidents from 2009 to 2019, and only 48 — or 28.2% — of those who fell overboard were successfully rescued. The guest jumped from deck 11 at approximately 7 p.m., according to a Carnival spokesperson, and the ship's command immediately began a search and rescue operation.

Cruise ship crewmembers launched a small rescue boat and were able to locate her in the vast ocean and safely bring her back on board, according to the statement. The Indian mother thought to have jumped off a Royal Caribbean cruise ship during a voyage from Malaysia to Singapore was confirmed dead by her family Tuesday — on what would have been her birthday. Meanwhile, Carnival Cruise Line said its Care Team “is supporting the missing guest's family on board” the ship, which "arrived today to Montego Bay, Jamaica as planned." The missing man was aboard Royal Caribbean’s “8 Night Bahamas & Perfect Day Holiday Cruise,” which left from Baltimore on Friday, passengers told the Post and Courier. For over 24 hours, Carnival crews searched the ship and the Coast Guard scoured a 200-mile section of the Gulf of Mexico looking for signs of Barnett.

He said he, his girlfriend and other passengers rushed to the pool deck to provide “extra pairs of eyes” in the search-and-rescue effort. College student Sigmund Ropich of Texas was vacationing with his friends on Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas, the largest cruise ship in the world in August, his sister Savannah Ropich told Business Insider. Apoorv Sahani later said in a post on X that his family was given footage from the cruise ship. "With the footage, we have unfortunately learnt that my mother has passed away," he wrote. The ship's crew immediately launched a search for Tollemache and the United States Coast Guard was ultimately called in to help. Tollemache fell into the Pacific Ocean after going overboard off Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas on April 26 at about 11 p.m.

“After we saw the life rafts or the life preservers and the smoke — I was like, someone just died,” Matthew Kuhn told the outlet. The woman, a US resident, was unscathed and required no medical attention, though she was later brought to the hospital for an evaluation.

Fellow travelers aboard the 15-deck cruise ship said they watched in horror as they thought the woman would not be found after going overboard. The US Coast Guard has released dramatic footage of the moment a pregnant woman was airlifted from a Disney cruise ship after suffering "health complications". Authorities say the man who recently disappeared from a Carnival cruise ship appeared to have jumped overboard.

Security footage from the Carnival Glory “shows the man jumping off the cruise ship,” according to a Tuesday night update from the Coast Guard. In August, a Royal Caribbean passenger went overboard from the Wonder of the Seas, the largest cruise ship in the world, while it was off the coast of Cuba during a voyage from Florida. The cruise line at first told Barnett's sister, who was also on the ship, that there was no surveillance footage of her brother that night, Reid said. The ship's crew immediately launched a search and rescue operation but found no sign of Sigmund.

But at least 10 people fell off major cruise line ships so far this year, turning fun-in-the-sun vacations into disaster situations — and only two survived the fall into the ocean. Lupoli told Forbes the cruise line is “providing assistance” to the missing passenger’s family who are still onboard, noting the ship is scheduled to dock in Jamaica’s Montego Bay on Wednesday after departing from New Orleans on Sunday. "Carnival’s CARE team is providing support to the guest’s husband who was traveling with her," the spokesperson said. Other passengers posted videos to Twitter moments after the woman allegedly jumped, with one showing a life preserver floating in the water nearby. In the cell phone video obtained by FOX 8, the woman, 32, is seen being pulled to her feet by security guards on the deck of the Carnival Valor ship on Wednesday. When the woman was plucked from the water by the rescue crew, passengers back on the main ship began cheering, according to the outlet.

Carnival Elation passenger Jaylen Hill, 30, went overboard on the vessel on July 23 as the ship was on a four-day Bahamas sailing and on its way back to Jacksonville, Florida. The overboard woman was found to be in "good health" after the fall, the Coast Guard said. A rescue expert told Business Insider her survival was "nothing short of miraculous." According to the company's website, the Carnival Miracle accommodates more than 2,100 guests and 934 crew members. In a statement Wednesday, Royal Caribbean confirmed a passenger went overboard Sunday close to the Dominican Republic.

Reeta Sahani, 64, was reported missing after her husband, Jakesh Sahani, 70, woke up in the middle of the night and noticed she was not in their cabin. The 915-foot-long ship, which has a total capacity of 2,000 guests and 700 crew members, made its first voyage in 1988, according to the Royal Caribbean website. “Out of privacy for the guest and their family, we have no additional details to share,” the statement added Monday. A passenger traveling on Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas vessel went overboard on October 29 after the ship departed Barcelona and was saved.
