    Cruise Ship Worker Falls Overboard

    By Spontaneous  |  Posted January 2, 2009  
     

    The Coast Guard is searching for a cruise ship employee who fell overboard early Thursday off Florida's east coast.  Six fellow employees saw the off-duty entertainment staff member fall overboard at 12:40 a.m.  The other employees threw the man a life ring as the Carnival Sensation sailed about 20 miles off Vero Beach. The Coast Guard was notified within minutes and immediately began searching for the man with an airplane, a rescue helicopter, a Coast Guard cutter, and a small boat dispatched from nearby Fort Pierce. Carnival said the Coast Guard released the ship at about 6 a.m., and the vessel arrived at its home port of Port Canaveral, Florida, about 9:25 a.m.  The Carnival Sensation -- which sails twice weekly to the Bahamas from Port Canaveral -- was returning from a four-day Bahamas cruise that departed Port Canaveral on December 28.  Prayers go out to this young man for his safe recovery and return.
