Cruise news: How often do passengers go overboard a ship?

The 33-year-old cruise worker was found 26 miles outside of the search zone after falling from a Carnival Cruise ship near Cuba.

After 22 hours of searching 1,600 square miles, he was eventually found and a lifeboat was sent to rescue him.

He is currently in a stable condition after being treated onboard, with Carnival Cruise president Christine Duffy calling it “miraculous”.
