The Coast Guard searched over 5,171 square miles and more than 60 hours, but crews could not find Peale Jr. 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. While the cruise ship was hundreds of miles off the coast of Hawaii.

If the ship is moving the person may be rapidly swept away and if the location isn't known a single person's head can be extremely difficult to see in the vast, rolling ocean. “There was a lot of yelling, and the crew was alerted immediately,” another passenger,  Deborah Morrison, told The Post. The Royal Bahamas Police Force is investigating claims that Robbins jumped overboard as part of a dare, according to WBRZ.

Coast Guard ends search for missing Louisiana teen who fell overboard in the Bahamas

He said that when he looked over the balcony of his room, he saw crew members tossing life preservers into the water. The U.S. Coast Guard said on Sunday that it halted its search for a woman who went overboard from a Carnival cruise ship near Ensenada, Mexico. The 28-year-old, who was not publicly identified, may have been in the water for at least six hours when he was plucked from the sea Thursday. He was rescued about 20 miles south of Louisiana's Southwest Pass, where the Mississippi River meets the coast, U.S. A man who went overboard during a holiday cruise in the Gulf of Mexico was rescued after several hours in the water off New Orleans, authorities said Friday. The sibling didn’t report her brother gone until noon the next day,  prompting the Cozumel, Mexico-bound ship to retrace its sailing path toward New Orleans Thursday, Carnival spokesperson Matt Lupoli told the outlet.

Of the 212 listed as overboard between 2009 and 2019, only 48 people were rescued. Describe the person as best you can, including how fit they appeared, what they were wearing and if they were holding anything that might float, as all those factors will affect likely survival times. The captain also will notify other ships in the area who are then obligated to help search. The bridge will contact the Coast Guard and a search will begin. The ship will stop and the crew will try to pinpoint where and when it happened so they can start a thorough search in that area. "I'll stress that people don't just fall over the side," said Brian Salerno, senior vice president of global maritime policy at Cruise Lines International Association, the industry's leading trade group.

Salerno said that certification will give cruise lines greater confidence in spending money on overboard detection technology. Typically, between four and 12 sensor stations are mounted on the ship's exterior, depending on its size and design. In addition to security cameras, Lupoli said, all ships have "safety barriers that are regulated by U.S. Coast Guard standards and prevent a guest from falling off." According to a CLIA report, only 28.2% of passengers who fell overboard between 2009 and 2019 were successfully rescued.

Alcohol can play a role in overboard incidents, said Michael Winkleman, a maritime attorney with Lipcon, Margulies & Winkleman, P.A., who has represented travelers in overboard cases. "Usually, it's just people not making smart decisions because they're dramatically overserved and they end up going over," he said. “The early morning was definitely somber as so many people came out of their cabins to stare at the sea, hoping to be able to aid in finding the person,” said Amy Phelps Fouse, a passenger on the ship. The Wonder of the Seas, which is 1,188 feet long and features 18 decks, can accommodate nearly 7,000 passengers and 2,300 crew members.

Levion Parker, 20, was identified by the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. He has been missing since he jumped overboard on April 4 in front of his brother and father on the cruise to Cuba and the Bahamas. The standard was finalized around the time the COVID-19 pandemic began, Salerno said, which delayed the process, but some ships have adopted the detection systems. "During the search, another mariner spotted Mr. Grimes in the ocean and contacted the USCG, and the rescue was made," he said.

"Shoreside authorities were notified, and the crew was advised to continue to Jacksonville. The Carnival Care Team is providing support to the guest's family and our thoughts are with them and the guest." 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. Sahani's husband, Jakesh Sahani, woke up in the middle of the night and discovered his wife was not in their cruise cabin, the Straits Times reported. He notified the ship's officials, who, according to the news outlet, told him that his wife was seen on CCTV footage sitting on the ship's railing at about 4 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. The man was reported missing by his travel companion late Sunday afternoon after he was not seen all day. All ships have "safety barriers that are regulated by U.S. Coast Guard standards and prevent a guest from falling off," according to Carnival spokesperson Matt Lupoli.

"I think we'll start seeing more and more of the detection equipment once the certification process is complete," he said. Boleen said security on board told her that while the Carnival Valor had camera footage from the bar where her brother was last seen, it did not have cameras everywhere because it was an older vessel. "The problem was tuning the technology just right so that you wouldn't be getting false alarms every time a seagull flew by the ship," he said. "It's just human nature, if you have alarms going off constantly, they become less and less important." In December, an MSC Cruises passenger jumped from one of its ships while sailing from Europe to South America. "The Bahamas government has called off the rescue for Cameron and we are returning to Baton Rouge," the family said in a statement.

The Coast Guard confirmed to The Post it is still conducting a search and rescue operation in the waters off Cuba. In the past few years, most cruise lines have enacted onboard safety measures and surveillance systems to help reduce the risk of overboard deaths. The Coast Guard assisted the Royal Bahamas Defence Force in search efforts by deploying aircrews. In June, a 42-year-old woman was rescued after she fell off Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas about 25 miles south of Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic during a trip from Florida.

The agency said in a statement the passenger was "responsive" when the crew on board a MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter reached him. "We are beyond grateful that this case ended with a positive outcome," said Lt. Seth Gross, a Coast Guard Sector New Orleans search-and-rescue mission coordinator. The release of his identity came shortly after the Coast Guard called off its search for Parker. But unless the person was seen going over or spotted immediately, the odds may be against them.

"The next thing I know... I regained consciousness. I was in the water with no boat in sight," he said. Grimes said he believes the fall overboard knocked him unconscious. The 28-year-old man said he was determined to make it out of the Gulf of Mexico alive, calling it the experience of a lifetime.
