Carnival cruise ship passenger rescued by Coast Guard after falling overboard
Video released by the Coast Guard shows the moment a Carnival cruise ship passenger was spotted and later rescued from the Gulf of Mexico after falling overboard Thursday.
A passenger on the world's largest cruise ship sailing with Royal Caribbean went overboard on Tuesday.
The passenger went overboard on Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas off the coast of Cuba on Tuesday during a seven-day cruise departing from Port Canaveral, Florida, a company spokesperson said.
A spokesperson for the cruise told Fox News Digital that the ship's crew immediately began a search and rescue operation and is working with local authorities.
"Out of respect for the family, we will not share further details about this unfortunate event," the spokesperson said.
