- ‘Miracle': Missing cruise ship passenger found OK in water
The man was last seen by his sister at a bar aboard the Carnival Cruise Line ship Wednesday night, according to a statement CNN obtained from Carnival spokesperson Matt Lupoli. So far, crews have searched more than 200 miles of water for the missing passenger, according to the agency. The maritime branch was able to narrow its search area thanks to surveillance footage that showed Barnett jumping from the ship’s deck, a Carnival rep told The Post on Tuesday. The Coast Guard released a statement saying "crews searched nearly 3,300 square nautical miles, a combined crew total of over 80 hours" before the search was suspended, according to CNN.

On Tuesday, USCG Heartland told FOX Business the ship did not have footage or evidence that showed Barnett went overboard; however, he was not located on the vessel. The crews covered more than 1,347 square miles — an area nearly the size of Long Island — while looking for Hill, but their efforts yielded no results and the search was called off. While the passenger's mom told Business Insider she was hopeful he was still alive, she said that she was worried he might not have survived. She also said she found out from family — not the cruise line — that her son was missing.
Carnival Cruise passenger, 26, reported missing after ship returns to Florida
A father traveling with his family has gone missing from a cruise ship sailing between New Orleans and Jamaica and the Coast Guard has activated a 200-mile search area in hopes of finding the missing passenger. Security footage from the Carnival Glory “shows the man jumping off the cruise ship,” according to a Tuesday night update from the Coast Guard. Authorities say the man who recently disappeared from a Carnival cruise ship appeared to have jumped overboard. “Our crews battled severe weather conditions for multiple days and made every effort to find Mr. Barnett. Suspending an active search is never a decision we make lightly, and we offer our most sincere condolences to Mr. Barnett’s family and friends,” Lt. Cmdr. Sean DiGeorge said in a statement.
Tyler Barnett of Louisiana last seen aboard Carnival Glory early Monday morning
Reid told BI her son's key card was used to enter the ship's casino just after midnight and then to enter his room 12 minutes later. Barnett's mother, Reid, said Carnival initially told her daughter — who is on the ship — there was no footage of what happened to her son. The Coast Guard has since narrowed its search area roughly 30 miles southwest of the Southwest Pass. Barnett’s mother Elisha Reid told Business Insider that her daughter was previously informed that there was no footage of what happened. "The Coast Guard is utilizing both air and water assets to conduct the search," the military branch said.

NEW ORLEANS — A missing passenger who went overboard from the Carnival Valor was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard after spending at least 15 hours in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. McGrath’s disappearance comes just one week after a 19-year-old college student fell overboard on the world’s largest cruise ship, the Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas. Miami-Dade Police issued a missing person’s alert Tuesday, saying McGrath was last seen in a black shirt, shorts and gray sneakers at around 2 a.m.
The time between someone going overboard and the cruise ship launching a search-and-rescue mission can often be the difference between life and death. Barnett was seen on security footage at around midnight on Monday, the Coast Guard said. The Coast Guard launched two aircraft to try to find Barnett in a 200-mile area near where the ship sailed into the Gulf of Mexico. Barnett is not the first passenger this year reported to have gone missing during a Carnival cruise. In September, a 26-year-old man was reported missing from the Carnival cruise ship Conquest after it docked at the Port of Miami in Florida. "The Coast Guard is searching an approximately 200-mile area for an unaccounted-for 28-year-old man from the Carnival Glory cruise ship," the Coast Guard wrote in a Tuesday morning post on X, formerly Twitter.

A 65-year-old woman was found dead after jumping overboard in 2015, and another passenger, a 21-year-old student, was never found after falling overboard south of the Bahamas that same year. Coast Guard crews were searching 3,300 square nautical miles off the coast of Florida for Kevin McGrath, 26, who was reported missing by his family after he failed to show up to breakfast on the ship Monday morning. "Only on Tuesday were we advised of the possibility of him wearing a different shirt, which allowed our security team to change the profile of the guest as we searched onboard video," the Carnival spokesperson said. "We have informed the U.S. Coast Guard and are providing assistance to the guest’s family that was traveling with him." It was only on Tuesday that the ship's security team was informed the missing passenger might have been wearing a different shirt, which allowed crew members to search video from the ship more accurately, the spokesperson said.
Miami-Dade Police Department identified the missing man as Kevin McGrath, 26. A spokesperson with the department told Insider that McGrath was last seen by his brother at approximately 2 a.m. Coast Guard officials are searching Florida waters after a Carnival cruise passenger disappeared shortly before the ship returned to PortMiami this week. A passenger who fell off a cruise ship late Wednesday night was rescued on Thursday evening. A missing 28-year-old cruise passenger on the Carnival Glory is believed to have gone overboard on Monday, and the Coast Guard is searching the waters near New Orleans to find him. Lupoli told Forbes the cruise line is “providing assistance” to the missing passenger’s family who are still onboard, noting the ship is scheduled to dock in Jamaica’s Montego Bay on Wednesday after departing from New Orleans on Sunday.
On Tuesday night, the Coast Guard launched an HC-144 Ocean Sentry air crew and a MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter air crew, before pausing search efforts due to deteriorating weather conditions and poor visibility. The missing passenger was found responsive at the time of rescue and was transferred to awaiting emergency medical personnel at New Orleans Lakefront Airport, USCG Petty Officer Ryan Graves told CNN Thursday. Natalia Rodrigues, a public relations manager for Carnival Cruise Line, said a team is "supporting the missing guest's family on board" and the ship is scheduled to dock in Montego Bay as scheduled Wednesday.

About six hours later, a cargo ship identified as CRINIS spotted a person in the water about 20 miles south of Southwest Pass, La., and the mouth of the Mississippi River. Barnett was reported missing by a family member on the ship Monday, a day after the Carnival Glory departed New Orleans for a weeklong journey, Carnival Cruise Line told FOX Business. Florida officials launched a large-scale investigation after a cruise passenger mysteriously disappeared shortly before the ship returned to Port of Miami on Monday. The incident comes just one week after a 19-year-old college student went overboard the largest operational cruise ship in the world, the Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas. Authorities have conducted a lengthy search for the missing man, but he has yet to be found.
