A 56-year-old man is missing after reportedly jumping overboard from the Carnival Panorama cruise ship during the final day of a seven-night voyage from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, to Long Beach, California. The incident happened on Saturday as the ship was sailing along the coast of Mexico’s Baja peninsula. According to a passenger on board, the ship turned back around 2 p.m. to assist in the search for the missing man and resumed its route approximately two and a half hours later. During the search, passengers were locked in their rooms while the crew looked for the individual. Carnival Cruise Line confirmed that the crew notified both the U.S. and Mexican coast guards after being informed that a guest was missing and reviewing surveillance footage from the ship. Fixed-wing aircraft have been deployed to aid in the search, and the Mexican Navy is also assisting in the efforts. Michael Bedwell, a passenger on the cruise, told Eyewitness News that crew members told passengers to return to their rooms, explaining they were searching for someone. Passengers were not immediately informed of the man’s disappearance but later learned he had jumped overboard. Bedwell described the situation as unusual and said the ship’s response was swift. Carnival Cruise Line confirmed the incident and said it was providing support to the missing man’s family, who were traveling with him at the time. The cruise line has not yet released additional details about the man’s identity or the circumstances leading to his disappearance. Search and rescue efforts continue as authorities work to locate him.
