Man Overbaord Mysterious Disappearance: Did Carnival Cruise Lines Do the Right thing?
cruisejunkie.com
89 people have gone overboard on since the year 2000.
A 56-year-old man went missing from the Mexican Riviera cruise, July 1-8 (port calls at Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas). He was apparently last seen by his cabin mate at 1AM on July 4. His body was found off Puerto Vallarta on July 10. The FBI was notified and is investigating. The incident was made public July 16 after family members contacted Cruise Bruise, who said, "there was no sea search done by the ship. This passenger was missing for 5 days before the body was found. While the USCG was notified, we find no record of a USCG search being performed. In addition, because there was no public press release on this incident, the public including the boating public had no idea there was a man in the water. Given, there was a man missing, presumed overboard, it should have been automatic to post the press release publicly. The fact that it was not posted immediately, losing potential assistance in the search for Mr. Klingele, leads to further speculation." Carnival Cruise Lines says it is not normal practice for it to disclose such events to media unless specifically asked by a media source.
