Thank you for all your condolences, this was my brother may he rest in peace. He was a kind soul, just got lost in this world and couldn't figured out a way to move forward and had it end too soon. R.I.P. my brother Tran Tang.
This was extremely sad! Me and my wife and kids was on the ship and just got back home. Lee announced last night around 3insh that a man was overboard, and the 6 deck and the 12th and 14th decks had people running up and down the hallways screaming and freaking out. On top of everything that was going on someone made up a story before they confirmed it was a gentleman in his 40s that it was a 11 year old girl that was dared to jump and she was the one overboard. But clearly that was false! Between both carnival ships and the coastguard boat and coastguard helicopter they was unable to find him as of 10am this morning. When we got off the ship that was the last update. Prayers go out to the family and whoever else this tagedy may be affecting! 🙏
@@coldhunni814 I have never seen that average twice a year worldwide? It's been more than that but no hate we all have our opinion and alot of stuff you read on the internet isn't accurate but I'm pretty sure the average hasn't been two a year world 🌍 wide there's no way. It's sad regardless happy cruising 🙂
@Ann Racken - you cannot accidentally fall off a ship! It's like accidentally falling off the second floor of a shopping mall. The person has to contribute to his/her demise!
As an Officer who sail on Large Ships 🚢 don't matter how humanly safe you try to secure a vessel if a person/persons made up their minds to commit suicide unfortunately sometimes they do succeed.What you should do is to speak to your kids about mental health how serious it is & if they're going through something to let a family member know.P.S Up to this time a search is still being continued.⚓
Me and the family were on it and it was so sad to hear this going on on our last day of the cruise. I can’t imagine what was going through that persons mind. We search for hrs with no luck. Carnival Elation helped out as well. Prayers go out to the family of the lost one. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Had a balcony room at the Royal Caribbean Navigator of the Seas last week and remembered looking at the sea from our balcony and imagining how it is like to fall on the water and how scary and cold that can get. Prayers to the the ones affected especially the family.
Jay Tee, if you call climbing over a rail you are not to be climbing on and falling, not an accident. Shouldn’t have been there climbing in the first place. Tell me how you are gonna fall over that balcony. It would take effort. Prove me wrong.
@@shecat9810 the railing on the balcony of the Navigator of the Seas was slightly above my hip level and when the ship was moving, I realized I could fall straight down to the water anytime if I'm not being careful. No one needs to prove anything to you or provide you an explanation. People can disagree with you based on their experiences.
@@shecat9810no accidents happen because people sit on the rails or they lean over too far. An autistic kid went over a few years back because he leaned over. A woman recently lost her balance while sitting on the railing to take a selfie and fell over.
In spite of how tragic and painful this video is, I used it to help educate my young son and teenage daughter as to the importance of being safe on the ship and all of the "annoying" safety rules on the ship, and why we follow them. Our prayers for the family....
So sad. Just got off the Mardi Gras a few hours ago. I was deeply saddened to watch from the balcony in the middle of the night knowing someone just jumped. Many couldn’t sleep and watched from their balconies as the ship beamed the lights into the ocean, while the sister ship Elation came to aid in the search. 😢 very sad way to end the cruise. I can’t imagine what the family is going through.
I'm sure many passengers were traumatized and saddened by the event. But the ship will not give people money for that. If this was a crew member, I imagine the employment contract has NO loopholes.
Thanks for the update Jay! I have a TMZ app download and they put out about the man overboard that lady reported 2 teenagers was running and she said slowdown before you hurt yourself. They appeared really shaken up and said a person went overboard. It’s sad to keep hearing people going overboard but makes me believe it’s always been that way and with instant technology, we are now being notified. Praying for the family. As for you Jay, I wish more travelers was as concerned as you are about having the right cruising documents! I’m like that too! I think you will be ok 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
how terribly tragic. my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones. my heart goes to all those on board. it does effect complete strangers. I pray they can find him so the family will get his body back for closure. so sad😥
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾thanks for sharing…this has been happening for decades…before social media…it was only word of mouth among a very few people…now we get information same day ! If you’re on a cruise 🛳and see someone in low place in life ..take a moment to share a kind word of encouragement..u may just save a life 🙏🏾
So sorry for this family’s lost. Sad to say that people are stressed, depressed and suicidal. Getting in a cruise ship nowadays is a easy way to end it all. If family members know someone has these issues try and get them help. Don’t recommend cruising once they jump it no coming back. Again my heart really goes out to this family and many more who has dealt with this type of loss.
So sad.. hope this man is found safe.. 🙏🏾.. just cruised on the Carnival Magic a couple of weeks ago and a man died in the casino.. we were on out last day at sea when this happened but it was so heartbreaking to see the family member so unconsolable. 💔 still praying for that family.. sometimes when we see something like this it just sticks with you
We've been on a cruise where someone jumped. We were almost back to the port when announcements started at 4a.m. in the cabin. We watched the navigation channel & saw us coming in & going back out. It's so sad, & we don't know what prompts people to jump, but for families, know the cruise lines do all they can to help. We were due in at 7am & got in & off the ship at 3pm. Everyone was very supportive which was good. I'm so sorry 😔
@@rgruenhaus ok we get it you don't believe in GOD, let those who do continue on with their life and you do the same, no need to make a nasty comment about it smh
It just seems to me that we are seeing an awful lot of stories of people going overboard on cruise ships lately. I don’t remember hearing about this type of incident happening so often. Prayers to the family and hoping for a positive outcome
Exactly right. Social media can put us right at the story. Guests have cameras & the ability to upload video immediately. Before, the story was more likely to be hushed or not even mentioned off of the boat.
I was just thinking the same thing. Has this always been a problem, or is our social media reporting more? It's terrible and heartbreaking if these are suicides.
@@arievena19744 it’s been happening because because barely anybody talked about Mardi Gras innagural thing where they found a half sunken ship in the water and turned around
@@alizehustle9385 I don't think thats what Bud Lamy meant in the comment. Maybe he meant in the sense that there is no real protection to keep someone from jumping overboard. I don't think mental support is what he was referring to. But we all have the ability to help friends and family members who are facing tough times.... Unfortunately sometimes the signs are not always there or we tend to see them too late. Mental health is very important. Be safe everyone and stay mentally healthy
@@alizehustle9385 Trust me pal, if you’re at the point of seriously ending your life and not just pulling a stunt no one’s going to just talk you out of it! I’ve seen plenty in my morgue who might of not succeed the first time to try it again later on be successful!
My husband lost his passport. Our cruise left out of San Diego. We were able to get him a passport in a couple hours at the passport office there so he made the cruise on time. Had all the info with him like birth certificate, ID, passport photo, forms already filled out. It is possible to get an emergency passport.
I was onboard the Mardi Gras when this happened and lee made the announcement at 1:23 am, and I can confirm the Elation wad with us as they were in port with us in 2/3 ports and I did see the name of the ship. Also the coast guard arrived about 2 hours after it was confirmed which was way to long seem as though we were about 50 miles off the coast of port canaveral. It was very tragic and my thoughts and prayers are with everyone related or are affected by this.
Yahoo news is reporting - A passenger told the outlet that she was on deck “early Saturday morning when two teenagers came running past her in a panic. She told them to slow down so they wouldn’t hurt themselves, and that’s when they screamed someone had gone overboard.”
We renewed our passport this year as well. We got ours back in about 4 weeks which I thought was really fast. About a week later we then got our old ones that we sent in back as well. Good luck bro!
I'm surprised they sent the old ones separately! Mine came with the new! Sad that the new one did not start at the expiration date of the old one! They put a hole in my old passport!
Damn this has got me in tears! I’m on a cruise and was just outside last night looking over the edge and imagined how scary it would be to fall overboard! It made me go inside!
It’s nearly impossible to just fall overboard. You’ve got to be extremely wasted and climb over the rails, doing something stupid, be picked up and thrown over, or climb over the rails and jump. The rails on ships above waistline and I’m well above six feet and there’s simply no way I could just fall overboard unless I attempted to sit on the rail or climb over it.
@@werewolflover8636 that’s very true! I’m 5’9 and the rails were almost to my boobs …all I thought about was falling off and getting left behind….after a few dirty bananas all logical thinking is gone 🤣
J thanks for the update I’m getting on that cruise in about two hours they just sent us a text message or email message saying that our boarding times been pushed back now I know why
I used a birth certificate for my 1st cruise and had no issues, I think you will be fine as I was told in Port Canaveral as long as it's not a copy they are pretty lenient.
OMG you were born in the CHI! That's wassup! Chi Town in the house. Thanks for letting us know that they take your passport when it's time to renew. Mine expires Oct 2023. I am prepared in advance now. Oh and I agree about Frontier. Same thing happened to my friend & I on my last cruise. Thankfully, we were cruising the next day & NOT the same day.
Unfortunately we also have lots of people dealing with mental health issues relating to our isolation during COVID-19 that’s not receiving treatment. I pray for the young man and all those that love him. This is so very sad!🙏🏾
I was on this ship when this happened the crew members did everything they could do to try locate the men they turn the ship around and had another one of their ship looked for him I was awoken at 12:30 am when I heard them make the announcement
Bro I was there on the Carnival Elation, I wake up in the morning to get news that the Marci Gras near us had a man overboard.. I was thinking bout it all morning and I’m literally in the car going home to NC from port canaveral in Florida, RIP
I literally just got off of this cruise. This was a very tragic incident that occurred in the wee hours of Saturday, April 16th. Prayers for the victim's family during this difficult time.
@@lendoe8298 I was praying that nothing like that would happen but I had a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach. My heart just breaks for that man and his family.
@@jessicahackley2156 mine also. My heart also breaks for the crew. I do not know if you noticed but that morning things just did not feel right. I actually over heard 2 crew members talking and the one was trying to console each other. There were both visually shaken .
If you go overboard, that's it. The shining of the light into the ocean is just to quell the concern of onlookers. Everyone who works on the ship knows for a fact that the person is dead, never to be found.
Every person going on a ship should know what to do if they see someone go overboard. It should be explained by crew, on signs. Basically sing out, grab ring buoy (anything that floats, ideally bright colored) toss it toward person in water. Even if they cankt get to it. It will float similar to person. (Wind, currents…) and try to keep your eyes firmly on person in water.
That is why when me and my brother saw it we immediately ran to guest services, however what everyone avoids mentioning is that it took two hours after we reported for the search to even begin. We ran through the ship screaming, but nobody immediately believed. It is sad how it took them so long to believe us and start the search even after a family member of the passenger reported him missing. We were on our balcony which doesn’t have floatation devices. And at night with limited vision and the speed of the ship you can’t follow a person as they are in the water. I feel deeply for the brother who we ran into in the stairwell.
i was on this ship and it was said he was on floor 8 and he was drunk and said he was going to jump as a joke then fell, my prayers are with his family (edit) he was at the pizza place me and my friends were at and i left to go to the room while they got food and right after they got back we heard the director of the cruis saying man overboard
Should have kept listening b4 I commented. Hey, Chicago dude...grew up in MI, living in FL since 1998 full time..a few winters b4 that. Anyway, God speed & we wish you well! Prayers for the friends & families involved with the person who went overboard.
Hey Jay , idk if every cruise line is like this , but I know for sure Carnival let’s you travel with a photo copy of your birth certificate. My dad left his last week and someone had to email us a photo and print it off and they accept it . I don’t have my passport and I’ve only used my birth certificate to cruise . I’ve been cruising since I was 17 and I’m 31 now . So far I’ve been on Disney , Royal Caribbean, and Carnival and they’ve all accepted our birth certificates. Hoping you made it on the ship with mo issues ! 🚢
I was actually on this cruise when it happened at 1a going back to port a bunch of kids were telling cruise members but they didn’t believe them until they looked back at cameras. Rip hood his family are doing ok:(
Very sad and again over a Holiday ..Family and Friends Please pay attention to CHANGES in Behavior and PLEASE OFFER HELP.... Happy Easter and Wishing You lock with the Paper Work....
I just started following you this year, but it seems we’ve had quite a few of these incidents this year across all cruise lines. Prior to the shutdown, is this a normal amount of incidents of overboard passengers?
I used to work for the office of Vital Statistics here in Jacksonville Florida, and if you've gotten a birth certificate to get a passport in 2012 that same birth certificate should be valid enough to get you on board of a ship and to renew your passport. Now if you made a copy of your birth certificate then you can't use that but the one you got in 2012 should've been printed on security paper issued by the secret service and has a raised seal on it.
These people are choosing the most disruptive way to go on purpose. I for one have no sympathy or empathy for that. My good time will not be disrupted in the sphere of what I can control.
@@areyoujelton Why? Because I refuse to have my expensive vacation ruined because someone was with stupid and won a Darwin award or because they were mad at the world and wanted to take it out on as many as possible? Stopped feeling bad for people like that many years ago. Take your care-bear feelings elsewhere.
The search wasn't called off, but the U.S. Coast Guard relieved Mardi Gras and Carnival Elation after they got at least one (eventually two) small cutters and a fixed-wing aircraft into the area. One of the cutters was USCGC Ibis and I think the other was the Finback.
Raised seals aren’t as common anymore. In Oklahoma it is just a colored stamp. My kids are 21, 22 and 10 and are just colored. I am older and mine is raised.
Hey J. How unfortunate yet again. So quiet. Basically hearing the waves. 🥺. Yesss. Heard child, woman, or adult male. But final article I read adult male supposedly jumped. 🤷🏻♀️. Jumped. Pushed. Fell. Whatever it is , it’s very unfortunate. Hope he has been found and survives. Oh boy J. What an arduous day for you. Let’s be positive and pray the birth certificate will come in time. Fingers and toes crossed. Thanks for the update and see you next video.
I will update all of you if any updates become available as soon as possible. If things go according to plan I will sailing so depending on the WIFI I may or not be able to upload. Just fyi.. Let’s hope the passenger that went overboard is found safe!
Hey you can always request an expedited passport.
Jay you can get a same day passport from the TPA (airport) post office.
If you're a citizen of the US you don't need a passport to sail. Birth certificate will suffice if sailing to and from the same US port
@@qdavis9378 Reallr? There’s where I went and they didn’t tell me that..
@@lizziebakeoven3225 Yes I know. My worry that I may not have the correct birth certificate

No one just FALLS overboard. They have to jump, be lifted and pushed or had been clowning around climbing up and accidently fall.

I used a birth certificate for my 1st cruise and had no issues, I think you will be fine as I was told in Port Canaveral as long as it's not a copy they are pretty lenient.
Hes well aware birth certificate is fine. He said it in his video. Every closed loop a birth cert if fine
Good luck getting on board and so sorry to hear about the person overboard. Thoughts and prayers for all!!!!!
This is very sad news. I feel Lee and Kyndal handled this really well.
Good luck big man. Thanks for the info and keep up the good work 👏
OMG you were born in the CHI! That's wassup! Chi Town in the house. Thanks for letting us know that they take your passport when it's time to renew. Mine expires Oct 2023. I am prepared in advance now. Oh and I agree about Frontier. Same thing happened to my friend & I on my last cruise. Thankfully, we were cruising the next day & NOT the same day.
Unfortunately we also have lots of people dealing with mental health issues relating to our isolation during COVID-19 that’s not receiving treatment. I pray for the young man and all those that love him. This is so very sad!🙏🏾
J thanks you for the information it's very sad. My condolences go out to his family and friends 🙏
We had a man overboard two 1/2 years ago in the Caribbean so sad.
Oh no hope you get on !
I was on this ship when this happened the crew members did everything they could do to try locate the men they turn the ship around and had another one of their ship looked for him I was awoken at 12:30 am when I heard them make the announcement
Awe so sad.
Sorry for your loss 😔
It’s just so sad and scary to hear this. Prayers for the family and friends.
Bro I was there on the Carnival Elation, I wake up in the morning to get news that the Marci Gras near us had a man overboard.. I was thinking bout it all morning and I’m literally in the car going home to NC from port canaveral in Florida, RIP
Oh man what a crazy time you’ve had! Thank you for your transparency Justin and I truly wish you the Best of Luck receiving your documents! 💙
this is really unfortunate thanks for the great updates
I literally just got off of this cruise. This was a very tragic incident that occurred in the wee hours of Saturday, April 16th. Prayers for the victim's family during this difficult time.
I was also on Mardi gras. When he announced this it woke me and at first it did not feel real
@@lendoe8298 I was praying that nothing like that would happen but I had a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach. My heart just breaks for that man and his family.
@@jessicahackley2156 mine also. My heart also breaks for the crew. I do not know if you noticed but that morning things just did not feel right. I actually over heard 2 crew members talking and the one was trying to console each other. There were both visually shaken .
Hope you’re able to get on!🤞🏾🤞🏾
Very sad news... You make fantastic videos..Keep it up:)
If you go overboard, that's it. The shining of the light into the ocean is just to quell the concern of onlookers. Everyone who works on the ship knows for a fact that the person is dead, never to be found.
Real talk .
They found that drunk 🥴 woman in Croatia the next day whew God was with her, but I haven’t heard of anymore survivors
Well if u go overboard during the day, there’s still a chance. If u go overboard at night, then that’s it for u
I’m in the Midwest and my official birth certificates (I ordered five just in case) don’t have raised seals.
Good job , Direct & too the point .
This is tragic - I’m praying for all involved 🙏🏾
You’re fine!!! I’m from Chicago as well. My certificate has no lifted seal on it and I use it for every cruise. Have fun!!!!
Jay, did you get in the ship? I’ve been worried about you!
Every person going on a ship should know what to do if they see someone go overboard.
It should be explained by crew, on signs. Basically sing out, grab ring buoy (anything that floats, ideally bright colored) toss it toward person in water.
Even if they cankt get to it. It will float similar to person. (Wind, currents…) and try to keep your eyes firmly on person in water.
That is why when me and my brother saw it we immediately ran to guest services, however what everyone avoids mentioning is that it took two hours after we reported for the search to even begin. We ran through the ship screaming, but nobody immediately believed. It is sad how it took them so long to believe us and start the search even after a family member of the passenger reported him missing. We were on our balcony which doesn’t have floatation devices. And at night with limited vision and the speed of the ship you can’t follow a person as they are in the water. I feel deeply for the brother who we ran into in the stairwell.
Good luck! I know you'll have a fantastic time!
You did yourself dirty with that Thumbnail 😂😂
i was on this ship and it was said he was on floor 8 and he was drunk and said he was going to jump as a joke then fell, my prayers are with his family (edit) he was at the pizza place me and my friends were at and i left to go to the room while they got food and right after they got back we heard the director of the cruis saying man overboard
Should have kept listening b4 I commented. Hey, Chicago dude...grew up in MI, living in FL since 1998 full time..a few winters b4 that. Anyway, God speed & we wish you well! Prayers for the friends & families involved with the person who went overboard.
Do you have a TWIC? That should help.
Hey Jay , idk if every cruise line is like this , but I know for sure Carnival let’s you travel with a photo copy of your birth certificate. My dad left his last week and someone had to email us a photo and print it off and they accept it . I don’t have my passport and I’ve only used my birth certificate to cruise . I’ve been cruising since I was 17 and I’m 31 now . So far I’ve been on Disney , Royal Caribbean, and Carnival and they’ve all accepted our birth certificates. Hoping you made it on the ship with mo issues ! 🚢
I was on this ship when this happened very sad. But someone really had time to send this out with no regards for the family.
My prayers go out to the family!! Such sad news
I was actually on this cruise when it happened at 1a going back to port a bunch of kids were telling cruise members but they didn’t believe them until they looked back at cameras. Rip hood his family are doing ok:(
Thanks for the update about frontier
Very sad and again over a Holiday ..Family and Friends Please
pay attention to CHANGES in Behavior and PLEASE OFFER HELP....
Happy Easter and Wishing You lock with the Paper Work....
I just started following you this year, but it seems we’ve had quite a few of these incidents this year across all cruise lines. Prior to the shutdown, is this a normal amount of incidents of overboard passengers?
It seems high to me. It there was no cruising for 2 years and mental health issues increased by approximately 40% during that same period.
I feel for the friends and family; such a sad event.
I used to work for the office of Vital Statistics here in Jacksonville Florida, and if you've gotten a birth certificate to get a passport in 2012 that same birth certificate should be valid enough to get you on board of a ship and to renew your passport. Now if you made a copy of your birth certificate then you can't use that but the one you got in 2012 should've been printed on security paper issued by the secret service and has a raised seal on it.
Sailed with my daughter on oasis on April 3rd and on Monday on independence. Brought her birth certificate and her drivers license. No problem
Keeping my fingers crossed that you get on the ship!
as always , you give great unbiased information.
So sad! Prayers to the family.
Too much death and bad times. Who can go on a trip and come away from this with a positive experience feeling? Heart breaking. Terrible! Again!!!! :(
These people are choosing the most disruptive way to go on purpose. I for one have no sympathy or empathy for that. My good time will not be disrupted in the sphere of what I can control.
@@Pleasiotic1 lmao I’m sure you’re the LIFE OF THE PARTY 😂 gtfo
@@areyoujelton Why? Because I refuse to have my expensive vacation ruined because someone was with stupid and won a Darwin award or because they were mad at the world and wanted to take it out on as many as possible? Stopped feeling bad for people like that many years ago. Take your care-bear feelings elsewhere.
@@Pleasiotic1 agreed, everyone has choices, they F..up everyones vaca!
The search wasn't called off, but the U.S. Coast Guard relieved Mardi Gras and Carnival Elation after they got at least one (eventually two) small cutters and a fixed-wing aircraft into the area. One of the cutters was USCGC Ibis and I think the other was the Finback.
Nice haircut. You are ready for whatever the day is bringing. You got this.
That happened to me in long beach CA . My BC wasn't the official one. It was the one from the hospital. I couldn't board. :(
I'm 52 and have my original certificate and never had a problem. my husband is 41 and same certificate no prob so you sb fine❤️
Good luck...hope you made it !!
Raised seals aren’t as common anymore. In Oklahoma it is just a colored stamp. My kids are 21, 22 and 10 and are just colored. I am older and mine is raised.
I was on the ncl breakaway in March with a jumper
Was nuts
Hey J. How unfortunate yet again. So quiet. Basically hearing the waves. 🥺. Yesss. Heard child, woman, or adult male. But final article I read adult male supposedly jumped. 🤷🏻♀️. Jumped. Pushed. Fell. Whatever it is , it’s very unfortunate. Hope he has been found and survives. Oh boy J. What an arduous day for you. Let’s be positive and pray the birth certificate will come in time. Fingers and toes crossed. Thanks for the update and see you next video.
Lee the cruise director is such a good man I met him on my cruise
So sad😥God bless this family.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥the one good thing for all of us to learn from your situation is for us to also have our paperwork in order…a learning experience🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was on the ship when it happened, truly sad💔
Thank you. Love information like this. Terrible incident.
