The United States Coast Guard is engaged in a search for a 26-year-old crew member from Royal Caribbean's Majesty of the Seas that went overboard on Thursday morning.
The search is being conducted 40 miles (65 kilometers) east of Hillsboro Inlet, which is in the Atlantic Ocean off Florida.
At 2:42 a.m. Thursday the Majesty of the Seas ship alerted the U.S. Coast Guard that the crew member had gone overboard. After handing over the search for him to the Coast Guard, the 2,767-passenger ship returned to Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale Thursday morning. At the time of the incident the ship was on a five-day cruise to the Bahamas.
