"I was confident the prayers I said over my son were heard. I stand on the word of God. I believe he is alive." Parker’s father owns an air conditioning company and the family was cruising on the boat as guests of a wholesale company, according to the New York Post. Parker jumped off the 18-deck Liberty of the Seas, and Royal Caribbean said it “immediately” launched search boats to look for him with help from the U.S. Per the outlet, the man fell Friday while the ship, the Norwegian Pearl, was sailing near the Bahamas on its way back to Miami. The US Coast Guard initiated a search, but it was called off after nine hours, according to trade publication CruiseHive.

As CrimeOnline previously reported, Cameron Robbins, who had just graduated from University Laboratory School (U-High), jumped off the boat as a dare on May 24. A video obtained by DailyMail showed Robbins splashing in the water near the boat before he vanished. The passenger, who was traveling with his partner, has not been identified, Cruise Hive reported. Relatives of 30-year-old Jaylen Hill told staffers that he had vanished Sunday, leading security personnel to check video cameras to track his movements. In June, a 42-year-old woman was rescued after she fell off Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas about 25 miles south of Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic during its voyage from Florida. Reeta Sahani, 64, was reported missing after her husband, Jakesh Sahani, 70, woke up in the middle of the night and noticed she was not in their cabin.

He was last seen paddling around in the water before disappearing from view, with the boat staying in place for several hours in an attempt to find Robbins. Carnival did not respond to questions regarding which man overboard-detection technologies are in place on board the Carnival Elation ship. That is until he vanished behind the boat and out of view of everyone, who began screaming at him to grab a life preserver that'd been thrown to him -- which was pretty far away, and he didn't end up reaching it.

The party ship remained in the area for several hours while the crew looked for Robbins. According to witnesses, the teen — who was apparently acting on a dare — took a plunge off a party cruise into the ocean near Athol Island at night. The Blackbeard’s Revenge, which is designed to resemble a pirate ship, remained in the area for several hours while the crew attempted to look for Robbins. Earlier that month, an Indian woman died after she apparently jumped off the company’s Spectrum of the Seas. "So many people came out of their cabins to stare at the sea, hoping to be able to aid in finding the person," she said.

So far, crews have searched more than 200 miles of water for the missing passenger, according to the agency. Carnival said shoreside authorities were notified about the incident, and the ship’s crew was advised to continue to Jacksonville. The Elation returned to Jacksonville's port in October 2022 after being previously deployed to Port Canaveral. A video has surfaced showing boat passengers in the Bahamas moments after an 18-year-old Louisiana star baseball player jumped off the ship in response to a dare, resulting in a fatal outcome. 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.

Loved ones reportedly witnessed Parker jump off the 11th deck of the Liberty of the Seas cruise liner in what appeared to be an “impulsive leap,” the Post reported last week, citing a witness. The Broward County Sheriff’s Office identified Parker on Wednesday, the New York Post and Daily Mail reported, just a day after the Coast Guard officially called off their search for the previously unidentified man. Florida deputies did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation from The Daily Beast.

The passenger was identified as 19-year-old Sigmund Ropich, a college student from Washington state known to his loved ones as “Boiboi.” He had been vacationing with friends at the time. The 915-foot-long ship, which has a total capacity of 2,000 guests and 700 crew members, made its first voyage in 1988, according to the Royal Caribbean website. “Out of privacy for the guest and their family, we have no additional details to share,” the statement added Monday. Sims told the Post he had been chatting with the Parker brothers before Levion jumped overboard, remarking that the older brother was "pretty drunk." He said that Levion spoke of his jobs on yachts and fishing vessels.

Florida man believes son is alive after jumping off cruise ship: report

In a statement, Royal Caribbean said it immediately halted the ship and dispatched boats to search for Parker, but had no luck. The ship continued on its voyage back to Fort Lauderdale shortly after, leaving the search up to the Coast Guard. Deborah Morrison, another passenger, told the Daily Mail that crew were “alerted immediately” by the “yelling” that erupted on deck after Parker’s leap.

Passengers were kept informed about the situation, and the crew worked diligently to ensure their safety and comfort during this distressing time. The U.S. Coast Guard announced Monday night they were ending the search for a man who reportedly jumped from the deck of a Carnival cruise ship. Under the 2010 Cruise Vessel Security and Safety law, cruise ships must have 42-inch guard rails and man-overboard imaging or detection systems. However, not all cruise ships have implemented recently developed automatic man-overboard-detection technology, which uses thermal cameras and radars to immediately alert crew members when a person goes overboard. The cruise ship was on a four-day Bahamas sailing and on its way back to Jacksonville, Florida, at the time of the incident, Matt Lupoli, a Carnival spokesperson, said.

The Coast Guard is in charge of the search and rescue operations and cleared Carnival Glory to proceed to Montego Bay as scheduled. According to the cruise line’s website, the 952-foot-long Carnival Glory can hold up to 2,980 passengers and 1,150 crew members. Carnival Elation was on a four-day trip to the Bahamas and returned to its homeport of Jacksonville on Monday morning.

Mental health issues, personal struggles, or a momentary lapse in judgement could all play a role in such a drastic decision. In a shocking turn of events, a man jumped off the Carnival Cruise Ship in 2023, leaving everyone onboard in a state of disbelief. The incident took place during a sunny afternoon while the ship was sailing in the middle of the ocean. Passengers and crew members were enjoying their time, unaware of the tragedy that was about to unfold. Deborah Morrison, another passenger, told the Post that "there was a lot of yelling, and the crew was alerted immediately" after Levion jumped. Another passenger on the Liberty of the Seas cruise told the New York Post that Parker's dad confronted the 20-year-old and his 18-year-old brother, Seth, after they'd gotten out of the ship's hot tub.

His grandmother, Dirlean Tate Mason — who is not on the cruise — said Barnett works on the river barges in Houma, Louisiana, and is the father of twin girls. The missing man’s sister, Destiny Barnett, told NBC News that she and 13 other relatives were also on the cruise. The dad of two young girls was last seen by loved ones just before midnight as he said he was heading to his room, but his bed was never slept in. The Coast Guard put out a photo on social media of the man they say went overboard, Jaylen Hill, 30. "In this time of grief, we thank our family, friends and well wishers for granting us the privacy we need to properly remember our son and mourn his loss."

Cameron's family released a statement following the announcement that the search for him had been called off. The Carnival Elation vessel had just wrapped up a four-day trip to the Bahamas, which ended in Jacksonville Monday morning. The cruise operator said it alerted authorities about the incident and was advised to proceed to its final stop in Jacksonville. A clip showed Hill jumping off the side of the boat about 95 miles off the coast of Melbourne.
