Coast Guard have been checking in with the family to offer their support but that Carnival had stopped. "(To) me, personally speaking, you should be reaching out every minute.

The cruise line said the police have cleared Carnival Conquest to sail, and the Carnival Care Team is supporting the family. U.S. Customs and Border Control told Carnival Kevin McGrath was not detected during the debarkation process, NBC Miami reported.

It follows another missing person report from July, when 30-year-old Jaylen Hill disappeared while aboard a carnival cruise ship in Florida. 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. The U.S. Coast Guard used a helicopter to search the "water in the general vicinity," the cruise line said, and Miami-Dade police officers boarded the ship to investigate and search. McGrath was "not detected by surveillance systems, including U.S. Customs and Border Patrol during the debarkation process," Carnival said.

Kevin McGrath, 26, was last seen at his stateroom early Monday morning on the Carnival Conquest, according to the Miami-Dade Police Department. McGrath is urging other passengers who may have seen him that morning to speak up. “The whole point of the cruise was to celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday, and it was a big group of about 40 people,” she said.

Icon of the Seas had already called on Costa Maya, Riviera Maya, and Roatan Island, Honduras, before Brad disappeared in Cozumel on April 3.

The missing person's report came right as passengers were beginning to disembark in PortMiami following the the four-day Bahamas venture, the cruise line said. He was reported missing at approximately 7 a.m on Monday, a spokesperson with the cruise line told Insider. Coast Guard officials are searching Florida waters after a Carnival cruise passenger disappeared shortly before the ship returned to PortMiami this week. Some of their family stayed on the cruise ship while Solomon’s wife rode in a security guard’s car to comb the streets. Miller said they didn’t catch him because he walked quickly when anxious.

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. On Monday, a Carnival Cruise Line spokesperson told The Post. McGrath’s disappearance comes just one week after a young college student fell overboard off the world’s largest cruise ship, the Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas. A 2020 study from the industry trade group Cruise Lines International Association found that 19 people go overboard cruise ships each year on average. At least six people have gone overboard in the last three months, promoting debate over whether cruise ships should be required to install man-overboard detection systems.

The USCG also issued an urgent marine information broadcast and message to mariners in the Gulf of Mexico to notify them of the missing passenger. What's more, the docs say he's violating probation by failing to maintain communication with his probation officer.

His disappearance "is so random, out of nowhere," Danielle McGrath, Kevin McGrath's sister, told USA TODAY. "Everyone has different relationships with the person but me, how I know my brother, how I last spoke to him, his energy, his spirit. This is definitely not like him." The search for a missing Carnival cruise passenger was suspended Thursday after he mysteriously disappeared over Labor Day weekend. 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. Coast Guard was contacted and searched the water by helicopter.

Miami-Dade police eventually cleared the Carnival Conquest to set sail again. The ship is currently located in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean on its way to the Bahamas, cruise tracking data shows.

When Solomon came out first and didn’t see his wife, he left to look for her. His wife soon realized that Solomon was missing and raised the alarm. Search for the missing cruise passenger from Icon of the Seas continues in Cozumel, Mexico, as efforts shift to the jungle. "We are currently searching a large area that encompasses more than 200 miles of the ship’s voyage path due to the uncertainty of when he may have gone overboard," the agency said.

He “may be in need of services” and police have asked anyone with information to contact authorities. After being unable to locate McGrath, the cruise company contacted the Coast Guard and Miami police. "Being able to drink, gamble, and socialize put him in his happy place." She said the Port St. Lucie community where she and her brother are from has been offering "a lot of love" to the family. The Coast Guard announced Thursday that they were suspending their search for McGrath. The cruise line said they were in contact with McGrath's family through their Carnival Care Team.

The Coast Guard cleared Carnival Glory to continue to Montego Bay, where it was set to arrive Wednesday, Lupoli said. The search area originally encompassed approximately 200 miles, but was narrowed to "roughly 30 miles southwest of" Louisiana's Southwest Pass, the Coast Guard said on X, formerly Twitter. The Coast Guard dispatched the 87-foot cutter Tarpon from St. Petersburg, a Hercules aircraft based out of Clearwater, and a Miami-based Ocean Sentry aircraft to search for Hill.
