The cruise ship’s care team is supporting his family who were traveling with him and are still on board, a spokesperson told The Post. It follows another missing person report from July, when 30-year-old Jaylen Hill disappeared while aboard a carnival cruise ship in Florida. After the man was reported missing, the ship’s security team immediately began searching the vessel, Lupoli said in an earlier statement. The ship was on its way from New Orleans to Montego Bay, Jamaica at the time as part of a week-long Western Caribbean cruise that began Sunday, according to CruiseMapper. Coast Guard crews were searching 3,300 square nautical miles off the coast of Florida for Kevin McGrath, 26, who was reported missing by his family after he failed to show up to breakfast on the ship Monday morning. It was only on Tuesday that the ship's security team was informed the missing passenger might have been wearing a different shirt, which allowed crew members to search video from the ship more accurately, the spokesperson said.

Year-Old Reported Missing After Cruise Ship Returns to Florida: 'He Never Arrived'

McGrath’s disappearance comes just one week after a young college student fell overboard off the world’s largest cruise ship, the Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas. "Only on Tuesday were we 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," Lupoli said in an emailed statement. "We have informed the U.S. Coast Guard and are providing assistance to the guest’s family that was traveling with him who are still on board." The man appears to have jumped from the fourth deck shortly before 2 a.m.

The Coast Guard launched two aircraft to try to find Barnett in a 200-mile area near where the ship sailed into the Gulf of Mexico. Officials in Florida are investigating the disappearance of a cruise passenger who did not return with the vessel once the ship docked. The Coast Guard said the passenger was 28-year-old Tyler Barnett from Houma, Louisiana. Petty Officer 3rd Class Anthony Randisi told USA TODAY that Carnival reported the guest was last seen around midnight on Monday. Monday in his cabin as the Carnival Conquest reported back to the Port of Miami, Carnival said in a statement Tuesday.

Tyler Barnett's family says he would not have intentionally jumped from Carnival Glory

The Post has reached out to Carnival for comment about the family’s latest statements. His sister, Destiny Barnett, told NBC News that she and 13 other relatives also were on the cruise. Sigmund Ropich, 19, tumbled into the ocean off the coast of Cuba during a vacation with friends and has yet to be found.

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. The Coast Guard released a statement saying "crews searched nearly 3,300 square nautical miles, a combined crew total of over 80 hours" before the search was suspended, according to CNN. He was reported missing by a family member on the ship Monday, a day after the Carnival Glory departed New Orleans for a weeklong journey, Carnival Cruise Line told FOX Business. His family had been asking for prayers in posts on social media. The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) has suspended the search for missing Carnival cruise ship passenger Tyler Barnett. So far, crews have searched more than 200 miles of water for the missing passenger, according to the agency.

Fox News Digital also spoke with a representative from Carnival Cruise Line who said the U.S. Coast Guard also performed a helicopter search for the missing man. Kevin McGrath, 26, was aboard a Carnival Cruise from PortMiami to Bimini, Bahamas, over the Labor Day holiday weekend.

"The Coast Guard launched multiple search and rescue assets as soon as we were notified of a missing passenger from the Carnival Glory," Lt. Cmdr. Sean DiGeorge, Coast Guard District Eight search and rescue mission coordinator, said. A day after the search began, cruise officials were told the missing man may have been wearing a different shirt, which expanded their profile of the guest they were searching for in security footage. “A search of the ship’s cameras and security devices did not indicate he went overboard,” a police spokesperson told The Post. On Monday, a Carnival Cruise Line spokesperson told The Post. A 2020 study from the industry trade group Cruise Lines International Association found that 19 people go overboard cruise ships each year on average.

For the Second Time in 2 Months, a Cruise Guest "Disappears" from a Carnival Ship - Cruise Law News

For the Second Time in 2 Months, a Cruise Guest "Disappears" from a Carnival Ship.

Posted: Tue, 14 Nov 2023 08:00:00 GMT [source]

Police said he "may be in need of services" and asked anyone with information to contact authorities. When the family gathered for breakfast in the morning, McGrath did not show up. Miami Dade police confirmed to USA Today that a search by ship staff and security took place once all passengers had disembarked, but McGrath was nowhere to be found. Hopefully, Brad will be reunited with his loved ones very soon.

She said the Port St. Lucie community where she and her brother are from has been offering "a lot of love" to the family. U.S. Customs and Border Control told Carnival Kevin McGrath was not detected during the debarkation process, NBC Miami reported. McGrath was with a big group of relatives on the three-day cruise to celebrate his father’s 60th birthday, his sister Danielle McGrath told USA Today.

In the meantime, anyone who would like to support the family from home can share his image and missing persons fliers on social media or donate to the GoFundMe, which has already raised over $27,000 (USD) to bring Brad home. In the 10 days since cruise passenger Brad Solomon disappeared during a port call in Cozumel, his family have teamed up with local military and rescuers to pull out all the stops to bring him home safely. A Carnival spokesperson has told The Post that the ship’s care team has been supporting the family.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating the fall of a Carnival cruise passenger who fell overboard on his first cruise, Fox News Digital reported on Wednesday. The missing person's report came right as passengers were beginning to disembark in PortMiami following the the four-day Bahamas venture, the cruise line said. He was reported missing at approximately 7 a.m on Monday, a spokesperson with the cruise line told Insider. The missing passenger “was supposed to meet the family for breakfast prior to disembarking from the ship but he never arrived” as members of the group had planned.

After his loved ones were unable to determine his whereabouts, a search was conducted by ship staff and security but their efforts were unsuccessful. Brad and Mimi Solomon, who both hail from South Carolina, were well into their 7-night Western Caribbean sailing on the world’s largest cruise ship, which embarked from Miami, Florida, on March 30, 2024, when Brad went missing. The local military and civilian search and rescue leaders are focusing efforts in the jungle now. Since he hasn’t been seen on camera since Wednesday afternoon, it’s possible that he is being cared for by local, more rural Cozumel citizen in ejido areas of the jungle. I know that not a single person on this island would have mal intent upon approaching him,” Miller wrote in her latest Facebook post on Thursday, April 11. Unfortunately, the couple’s dream trip turned into a nightmare when Brad went missing shortly after disembarking in Cozumel with Mimi on April 3, 2024.

While the passenger's mom told Business Insider she was hopeful he was still alive, she said that she was worried he might not have survived. She also said she found out from family — not the cruise line — that her son was missing. In July, Carnival Cruise Line issued a statement regarding another man who had reportedly gone missing while on one of their ships in Florida. Between 2009 and 2019, there were 212 overboard incidents globally involving passengers and crew, according to statistics compiled for Cruise Lines International Association by consulting firm G.P. Coast Guard was contacted and searched the water by helicopter. McGrath said later Monday morning — as the cruise was ending and passengers were disembarking — the family gathered for breakfast, but Kevin never showed up.

The docs say McGrath got permission to move from Tennessee to Florida, where he was living with his parents ... And the cruise was a celebration for his father's 60th birthday. McGrath's legal troubles might provide another clue in his Labor Day weekend disappearance, which led to a Coast Guard search that has since been called off without finding him. McGrath's brother declined to comment when contacted by phone Tuesday.
