A search operation is currently underway for a woman who went overboard from the RCI-Royal Caribbean ship Explorer of the Seas, at ~11:00 p.m. on the first day of "The 80s Cruise" approx 80 mi/130 km east of Miami (Florida USA).
The Captain informed passengers of the situation via the public address system, and crew members promptly deployed a speedboat to search for the missing individual. Two nearby vessels have also joined the search efforts.
According to witnesses, the woman intentionally jumped from Deck 8 following an argument with her partner.
Explorer OTS is on a 7-day roundtrip itinerary from Miami, visiting Nassau (Bahamas), San Juan (Puerto Rico) and Labadee (Haiti).
