GALVESTON, Texas (AP) Mexican authorities are searching for a 39-year-old man who was seen jumping off a Carnival cruise ship near Cozumel.
Carnival officials said the man reportedly jumped off the Conquest ship Friday night. The ship returned to the location where the man was last seen and began searching for him.
According to a statement from the cruise line, Mexican authorities searched the ship and then allowed it to continue on its scheduled trip.
The ship is expected to return to its home port of Galveston, Texas, on Sunday after a seven-day cruise.
Cruise officials said they are working with the man's family to provide support.
*************************************
We saw the cruise ship circling between Villa Aldora and Playa as well as a smaller boat ( I thought one of the smaller military boats ). Another guest was on his way from Playa on the ferry and it circled a few times and reported that someone saw a life ring with a strobe attached in the water, but no one knew the origins of the life ring. Now it all makes sense.
