Following the search sample, the visitor went overboard roughly 177 miles southeast east of Miami.

Cruise co-host speaks on occasion
One of the cruise co-hosts, Riki Rachtman, former host of MTV Hangbanger Ball TV present, spoke on the incident throughout a Facebook Live on Saturday morning.
“Everybody was devastated when we were woken up by the calls, and then they spent nine hours trying to find this person with the Coast Guard. And I get sentimental when I say this, but at about nine o’clock in the morning, they made the announcement that the search was called off. And when that happened, it was devastating and it hurt everybody when you walked around the ship.”
