Coast Guard searching for man who went overboard from Carnival cruise ship off Texas
The U.S. Coast Guard is searching the waters off Galveston, Texas, for a passenger who went overboard from a Carnival cruise ship.
abcnews.go.comI don’t have real-time updates available in this moment. Here’s the latest I can share based on recent public coverage:
- The term “man overboard” on Carnival Cruise Line ships has occurred several times over the past few years, with Coast Guard search and rescue efforts typically active for hours and then sometimes suspended if the person isn’t found.[5][7]
- Notable recent examples include searches reported off Florida and Texas coasts involving Carnival ships such as Carnival Magic and Carnival Mardi Gras, with Coast Guard involvement and media updates from outlets like CBS News and ABC News.[2][7]
- After such events, Carnival Care Team typically assists the guest’s family and the ships may continue their itineraries if the search is suspended, according to company statements reported in the press.[7]
