A female crew member from CCL-Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Dream has been declared missing at sea after she failed to report for duty on Friday, August 9th. The incident occurred while the vessel was en route from Cozumel (Mexico) to Galveston (Texas USA). Following an extensive onboard search, maritime authorities were alerted to what is believed to be a man overboard situation.
The crew member is presumed to have gone overboard ~2:30 a.m. on Friday as the ship navigated the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Details surrounding the incident remain limited, with no confirmation as to whether anyone witnessed her fall or noticed her absence beforehand.
The head of Yucatan’s Harbormaster Office, Frigate Captain Jose Antonio Solano Claustro, is overseeing the ongoing search and rescue operations, with both the U.S. and Mexican Coast Guards involved. Authorities have called on the maritime community to stay vigilant and report any relevant information to local harbormaster offices.
The Carnival Dream is currently on an 8-night roundtrip voyage from Galveston, with scheduled stops in Florida and the Bahamas.
