Royal Caribbean Allure of The Seas Cruise Ship Passenger Falls Overboard, Missing At Sea

A woman who has fallen off a cruise ship in Florida is still missing.

The 21-year-old woman from Barlett, Tennessee was aboard a Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas ship just 47 miles east of Fort Lauderdale when she reportedly fell off the ship and into the ocean Sunday.

The coast guard is searching the Atlantic Ocean for her but no trace of the woman has been found. Crew members searched the cruise ship on Sunday when she was thought missing but no one could find her. At that point, the captain alerted search and rescue officials in Miami to start the search.

Another passenger on Allure of the Seas, reportedly saw the young woman fall off the ship at around 9:25 p.m. according to the Sun Sentinel in Florida.

When the ships camera footage was viewed later on, it confirmed that the woman had gone into the water.

On Monday, the Coast Guard searched an area that was approximately 320 square miles using four planes.

The woman's identity has remained private and there has been no additional details on to why or how the woman fell into the water.

The Allure of the Seas has a capacity of 5400 guests.

This isn't the first time that someone has fallen off a Royal Caribbean cruise ship. In February a British man fell off the Allure of the Seas and went missing. The ship was on its way to Cozumel, Mexico. The cruise line said in a statement after the man had gone missing. "When the guest did not respond to the pages and was not found on board, the captain alerted the local authorities of the situation. A review of the ship's closed-circuit camera footage observed the 30-year-old British male guest going over the balcony railing in his stateroom on deck 11. The location of the ship at the time the guest went overboard was marked on the ship's Global Positioning System (GPS) and the US and Mexican coastguard were alerted. "
