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. Just two days before the MSC crew member disappeared, a 28-year-old Carnival cruise passenger fell from a ship near New Orleans. While the company said that the passenger, Tyler Barnett of Houma, Louisiana, jumped from the ship, his family said he slipped — and that they only learned of his disappearance from family members, not from Carnival itself. Carnival Elation was on a four-day Bahamas cruise and returned to Jacksonville Monday morning. Hill was reported missing around 8 p.m., according to the Coast Guard.

Kate Middleton’s brother, James, embroiled in nasty feud with ‘nightmare’ neighbor: report
Kevin Wellons, 24, of Georgia, was seen going overboard in February 2017. The camera that captured the footage was located on Deck 9 of the 113,561-gross ton vessel, which features 19 decks. Deck 9 is the ship’s “Dolphin” deck and features only staterooms, with no public areas other than a small laundromat.

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. The release of his identity came shortly after the Coast Guard called off its search for Parker. Photographer Odysseas Froilan shared his clip to his YouTube channel in November 2021 and the footage went viral with millions of views. Barnett’s mother Elisha Reid told Business Insider that her daughter was previously informed that there was no footage of what happened.
Passenger Reported Overboard From Hawaii-Bound Cruise Ship
"On the early morning of Friday, Nov. 3, 2023, Norwegian Pearl was notified that a 41-year-old male guest went overboard while the ship was sailing near the Bahamas on its way to Miami," the spokesperson said. A total of 212 overboard incidents were reported on cruise ships from 2009 to 2019, according to a report commissioned by the industry-trade group Cruise Lines International Association. Even if crew members are immediately aware of the incident, it takes the average ship at least a mile to turn around.

At least 386 people were reported to have gone overboard, voluntarily or by accident, from 2000 to 2020, according to data Klein compiled. He began tracking overboard cases in 1995 using media reports, tips, information requests and other methods, later serving as an expert witness before Congress. A 35-year-old Australian man who fell overboard on his way back to Brisbane. A 7-year-old boy who died after falling into the ocean, followed by his mother, who tried to save him. Ronnie Peale Jr., 35, went overboard from a Carnival Magic cruise ship traveling off the coast of Florida on Monday, the Coast Guard said.

The Liberty of the Seas cruise ship is the 35th largest in the world, the Coast Guard said. "We offer our deepest condolences to the Hill family," said Petty Officer Eric Rodriguez, D7. "Our crews take our life saving mission very seriously. Any time we can't bring a loved one home to their family is a pain we all feel." According to Carnival Cruise Line officials, the Elation crew was notified by his family members that Jaylen Hill, 30, was missing. The passenger was identified as 19-year-old Sigmund Ropich, a college student from Washington state known to his loved ones as “Boiboi.” He had been vacationing with friends at the time.
Loved ones reportedly witnessed Parker jump off the 11th deck of the Liberty of the Seas cruise liner in what appeared to be an “impulsive leap,” the Post reported last week, citing a witness. 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." 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.
As Insider previously reported, at least nine people have fallen overboard on cruise ships this year. The MSC Armonia was making a transatlantic voyage between Spain and Brazil when the man jumped, according to the cruise line. Per the outlet, the ship's security reviewed surveillance footage and found that the man went overboard at about 5 a.m. The cruise ship was on a four-day Bahamas sailing and on its way back to Jacksonville, Florida, at the time of the incident, Matt Lupoli, a Carnival spokesperson, said.

Authorities are searching for a male passenger reported missing from Princess Cruises’ Emerald Princess. The Coast Guard called off its own search two days later, after reportedly scouring over 325 square miles.

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. Dozens of their contractors had been invited onto the cruise for the company's 50th anniversary. In a 2020 study, a professor examined more than 620 cruise deaths from 2000 through the end of 2019. He found that overboard incidents — falling, jumping or being thrown — were the leading cause of death among passengers and crew members, accounting for 23 percent of all deaths. The U.S. Coast Guard has suspended its search for a Virginia man who fell from a cruise ship balcony earlier this week. Carnival spokesperson Matt Lupoli told USA TODAY earlier this year that all ships have "safety barriers that are regulated by U.S. Coast Guard standards and prevent a guest from falling off."
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. The party ship remained in the area for several hours while the crew looked for Robbins. The Blackbeard’s Revenge, which is designed to resemble a pirate ship, remained in the area for several hours while the crew attempted to look for Robbins.
Most of the 4,000 passengers aboard reportedly weren’t alerted to the incident until later that morning, when the ship’s captain made an announcement while many ate breakfast. The Broward County Sheriff’s Office identified Parker on Wednesday, the New York Post and Daily Mail reported, just a day after the Coast Guard officially called off their search for the previously unidentified man. Florida deputies did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation from The Daily Beast. A man who jumped to his death from a Royal Caribbean cruise last week was identified by media outlets Wednesday as Levion Parker, a 20-year-old Floridian who regularly posted about hunting and fishing. Most recently, on October 29, a passenger of Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas went overboard as the ship departed Barcelona.
Defenders of the industry often characterize cruise ships as a microcosm of a city, with the same problems that come up on land. Death rates for overboard incidents vary significantly among cruise lines, according to Klein’s calculations, which he said proves more can be done to protect passengers. While it’s true that tens of millions of people vacation on cruise ships every year without incident, experts say a combination of mitigatable risks and loose safety regulations are contributing to deaths. The Coast Guard said last week it had given up on its search for 30-year-old Jaylen Hill, who went overboard during a four-day Carnival Cruise trip from Florida to the Bahamas. "The decision to suspend the active search efforts pending further development is never one we take lightly," Coast Guard District Seven search and rescue mission coordinator Lt. Cmdr. Christopher Hooper said in a statement. "We offer our most sincere condolences to Mr. Peale's family and friends."
Just days earlier, a male passenger went deliberately overboard Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Elation while the ship was en route back to Jacksonville, Florida, following a Bahamas cruise. Search operations were later suspended without success in locating the missing man despite a search area spanning more than 1,300 square miles. A man has been reported missing from a cruise ship near Hilo, Hawaii, and search operations are underway to locate the passenger.
