Coast Guard Launches Search for Missing Carnival Cruise Ship Passenger

The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting a search for a 30-year-old man who went overboard from the Carnival Elation cruise ship off the coast of Florida. The man jumped from the vessel as it was returning to Jacksonville, and his travel companion reported him missing. Crew members searched the ship and contacted authorities once they determined he had jumped off. This incident follows similar cases of individuals going overboard from cruise ships in recent months.
