The passenger was sailing on Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas from Port Canaveral, Florida, to Nassau, Bahamas, a source told BI. Though the ship sailed out of Texas, which bans businesses from requiring vaccinations, more than 96 percent of passengers were vaccinated and all but one crew member was fully vaccinated, according to the Belize tourism board. The passenger and 26 crew members were immediately isolated after testing positive for the virus. Contact tracing and further testing was conducted, with no new cases reported by Aug. 11, when the ship arrived at the port of Belize City on the northeastern coast of Central America, Carnival said. She was told there would be a “50/50 chance that a medical examiner in San Juan would ‘take possession’ of her husband’s body and perform an autopsy. This was especially distressing to Ms. Jones, who is elderly and was traveling alone with her husband,” the suit said.

According to the Carnival representative, the man's wife was traveling with him on the Carnival Horizon, which departed Miami on Sunday and was due to return on Saturday. "The Jayhawk helicopter crew hoisted the man and transferred him to officials in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos." "Both the deceased and her husband were debarked in Nassau," a Carnival spokesperson previously told PEOPLE, "and Bahamian authorities have already investigated the circumstances and are conducting an autopsy." The cruise line did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

While the company said that the passenger, Tyler Barnett of Houma, Louisiana, jumped from the ship, his family said he slipped — and that they only learned of his disappearance from family members, not from Carnival itself. The MSC Armonia was making a transatlantic voyage between Spain and Brazil when the man jumped, according to the cruise line. Per the outlet, the ship's security reviewed surveillance footage and found that the man went overboard at about 5 a.m.

On January 24, the Washington Blade reports, shortly before the ship was scheduled to reach San Juan, Puerto Rico, at 7 a.m. Several passengers on board have been consistently documenting the journey on TikTok, sharing a peek into life at sea. The ship crossed through Mexico, the Caribbean, Brazil, Peru and Ecuador on its South America leg in January.

A representative from the Coast Guard told Insider that a helicopter had been dispatched to help with the search and rescue mission. In a statement on Tuesday, the cruise line said "all indications" suggest the woman died of a medical condition while on board Carnival Sunshine in The Bahamas, according to NBC and CBS News. Heartbreaking video shows 20-year-old Levion Parker happily swimming in the ocean and fishing with his pals just a week before he drunkenly jumped off a Royal Caribbean cruise ship and was never seen again.

In August, a crew member was killed after falling overboard from a Viking Cruises ship. According to the International Journal of Travel Medicine and Global Health, 58 passengers and 14 crew members died from falling overboard on cruise ships between 2001 and 2019. Over the same period, 55 passengers and five crew died after jumping off vessels in suspected suicides. Following her husband’s death, the lawsuit said, Marilyn Jones was told she had the option of preserving her husband’s body in the cruise ship’s morgue for the next six days until the boat docked in Fort Lauderdale. The suit also alleges that Jones was dissuaded from taking her husband’s body off the cruise ship in San Juan when she was cautioned the coroner’s office there could take possession of the body and perform an autopsy before releasing it to a funeral home.

Carnival Cruise Line Says Passenger Died 'Natural Death' on Its Ship After FBI Said It Was 'Suspicious'

The claims could not be verified by the outlet, and have not been confirmed by law enforcement or the cruise line, but CEO Rich Campbell confirmed Mindrum's identity to the Blade. The identity of the man who died during the “world’s biggest gay festival at sea" has been revealed, along with the alleged details surrounding the circumstances of his untimely passing. One creator went so far as to make an "Ultimate World Cruise Bingo card" predicting events that could unfold, including "minor mystery to solve," "stowaway," "2nd COVID outbreak" and "staff dates passenger." Serenade of the Seas boasts 13 decks and 1,073 guest rooms, and it can accommodate over 2,100 guests. Details about the passenger and the circumstances of the death were not disclosed.

The cruise line said that it was highly unlikely Ms. Tackett contracted the coronavirus aboard the ship, which left Galveston on July 31, and that she had received expert medical care onboard before being evacuated. As the highly contagious Delta variant surges across the world, the health and safety protocols established for cruise ships are being put to the test. Over two weeks in late July and early August, 27 coronavirus infections were identified aboard the Carnival Vista cruise ship sailing out of Galveston, Texas. A passenger has died aboard Royal Caribbean’s nine-month world cruise, the company said in a statement Tuesday. The low success rate has sparked discussions about whether all cruise ships should be equipped with detection devices that automatically alert the crew when someone goes overboard.

"A Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter aircrew assisted the Turks and Caicos officials and cruise ship Carnival Horizon to locate a person in the water about 7 miles north of Drum Point, Turks and Caicos," the Coast Guard representative said. LA FAYETTE, ALABAMA -- James Michael Grimes is speaking out for the first time in an exclusive interview with ABC News after going overboard on a Carnival cruise ship after being missing for almost 20 hours. "While there was a man overboard call, there was not an overboard incident. We are supporting the guest’s family and others who witnessed the situation," a spokesman said. Marilyn Jones, 78, set sail Aug. 13 aboard the Celebrity Equinox in Fort Lauderdale with her husband of 55 years, Robert Jones, 79, according to the suit filed in the U.S. The ocean liner was scheduled for an eight-day excursion to ports in the East Caribbean, including San Juan, Puerto Rico, the suit said.

A cruise passenger has gone overboard during a tour of northern Europe, the ship's operator has said. Spencer Aronfeld, an attorney who sues cruise lines and posts cruise content on TikTok, recorded a video about the death. Reeta Sahani, 64, was declared missing after her husband, Jakesh Sahani, 70, woke up in the middle of the night and noticed she was not in their cabin. The coast guard and the ship's crew recovered the man's body before 10.30 p.m.

Earlier this month, an Indian woman died after she apparently jumped off the Spectrum of the Seas, another Royal Caribbean cruise ship. “The ship’s crew immediately launched a search and rescue operation and is working closely with local authorities,” the company said. "The ship's command immediately began search and rescue procedures, returned to the area near where the incident occurred, and notified the US Coast Guard," the Carnival representative said. A representative for Carnival Cruise Line told Insider that the guest had been seen jumping overboard from Deck 11 of the Carnival Horizon at around 7 p.m. The incident occurred two hours after the ship departed the Turks and Caicos Islands. A man has died after jumping off a Carnival cruise ship, the second such incident aboard a Carnival vessel in less than a month.

The commenter claimed that Mindrum was unresponsive where he was seated, and was then taken to the ship's medical center by their care team. He added that “the rumor mill aboard the ship is saying that he took a fentanyl-laced ecstasy tablet that he purchased on board." Last month, a 30-year-old MSC crew member fell from a ship near Puerto Rico. The Ultimate World Cruise has piqued the interest of a corner of TikTok, with some users comparing the voyage to a reality TV show experience. Users have pointed out that with so much time at sea, much can happen, including relationships, fights, pregnancy and deaths.

NASSAU, BAHAMAS — Police on New Providence are investigating the sudden death of a 29-year-old American man who was found unresponsive onboard a cruise ship Wednesday morning. A 40-year-old man went overboard from an MSC Cruises ship on Wednesday, marking the second time since November that someone has fallen from one of the cruise liner's ships. "We are actively providing support and assistance to the guest's loved ones at this time. Out of the privacy of the guest and their family, we have nothing further to share at this time," the spokesperson said. A guest aboard a nine-month Royal Caribbean cruise around the globe has died, the company said Tuesday.
