Carnival: Employee fell overboard on accident; search continues
The Coast Guard is continuing to search for an employee of Carnival Corp. Lines who fell off one of its cruise ships Thursday shortly after ringing in the New Year.
The man, who has not been identified but who Carnival acknowledged as an off-duty member of its entertainment staff, accidently tumbled off the cruise ship Sensation and into the Atlantic Ocean about 12:50 a.m., 20 miles east of Vero Beach.
Eyewitnesses reported to the Coast Guard that it was a clear accident.
Coast Guard helicopters and patrol boats have searched nearly 1,000 square miles of water and were moving their search in a northerly direction, guard spokesman James Harless told the Orlando Sentinel.
The Sensation helped with the search shortly after the accident, then returned to port. It docked at Port Canaveral about 10 a.m. following a four-day cruise to the Bahamas.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the young man at this time as well as with his friends and family," a Carnival spokesperson told CFN 13.
Based in Miami, Carnival is the world's biggest cruise line.
I even read the name Carnival written on the ship..I dont have enough words to describe my experience..anyways moving on..we had satsangs every evening and guess who was at the satsang singing and rocking the night?Vikram Hazra A.K.A Vikram bhaiya..he is the best..it was the icing on the cake..ok moving on I think it was on 1st of jan that we broke our silence..and my god..everyone started shouting and screeming..its was fun..I made many new friends form different parts of the country and the world..There was the scottish guy who thought us the scottish version or ringa ringa roses..it was fun..
