Dramatic video shows Coast Guard rescuing man who went overboard on Carnival cruise
NEW ORLEANS, La. (WAFB) - The search for a Houma man reported missing from the Carnival Glory cruise ship has been suspended, according to the United States Coast Guard. "We are beyond grateful that this case ended with a positive outcome," said Lt. Seth Gross, a Sector New Orleans search and rescue mission coordinator. A passenger who fell off a cruise ship late Wednesday night was rescued on Thursday evening. Carnival crew conducted an "extensive" search on board the ship but failed to find McGrath.
The search is 30 miles southwest of Southwest Pass, Louisiana, the Coast Guard said. The Coast Guard has been informed of the video and has been able to narrow its search effort, Petty Officer 2nd Class Jose Hernandez said. The Coast Guard has since narrowed its search area roughly 30 miles southwest of the Southwest Pass. Barnett’s mother Elisha Reid told Business Insider that her daughter was previously informed that there was no footage of what happened. "The guest was not detected by surveillance systems, including U.S. Customs and Border Patrol during the debarkation process," the company said. The ship is proceeding to Montego Bay, Jamaica, and is expected to arrive there Wednesday.
The missing man’s sister, Destiny Barnett, told NBC News that she and 13 other relatives were also on the cruise. The Coast Guard says the man went missing sometime soon after the ship set sail from the Port of New Orleans on Sunday. They are providing assistance to the guest’s family that was traveling with him who are still on board.
"Only on Tuesday were we advised of the possibility of him wearing a different shirt, which allowed our security team to change the profile of the guest as we searched onboard video," the Carnival spokesperson said. "We have informed the U.S. Coast Guard and are providing assistance to the guest’s family that was traveling with him." "Only on Tuesday were we advised of the possibility of him wearing a different shirt, which allowed our security team to change the profile of the guest as we searched onboard video," Lupoli said in an emailed statement.

The Carnival Glory continued on its journey, porting in Montego Bay, Jamaica, on Wednesday before heading for Grand Cayman Island for a stop Thursday, according to CruiseMapper. Nathan Diller is a consumer travel reporter for USA TODAY based in Nashville. The dad of two young girls was last seen by loved ones just before midnight as he said he was heading to his room, but his bed was never slept in. The Post has reached out to Carnival for comment about the family’s latest statements. Mason said a granddaughter confirmed that Barnett climbed over the edge of the rail and jumped on the lifeboat, but walked on it for a few minutes before he appeared to slip and fall off.
He said he spent hours treading water while fending off ocean dwellers and was ultimately spotted by the crew of a bulk carrier vessel before being rescued by the Coast Guard. Natalia Rodrigues, a public relations manager for Carnival Cruise Line, said a team is "supporting the missing guest's family on board" and the ship is scheduled to dock in Montego Bay as scheduled Wednesday. Tyler Barnett of Houma, Louisiana, was last seen onboard just after midnight on Monday, the Coast Guard reported, after the ship left New Orleans but before its next scheduled stop in Montego Bay on Wednesday.
It was only on Tuesday that the ship's security team was informed the missing passenger might have been wearing a different shirt, which allowed crew members to search video from the ship more accurately, the spokesperson said. Barnett was traveling with family aboard the Carnival Glory ship, a 13-deck, 110,000-ton boat with the capacity to carry 2,980 passengers. There have been several instances of people going overboard on the ship, including a 35-year-old who jumped into the water near Florida in 2007 and was rescued eight hours later. A 65-year-old woman was found dead after jumping overboard in 2015, and another passenger, a 21-year-old student, was never found after falling overboard south of the Bahamas that same year. According to a missing persons poster released by the Miami-Dade Police Department, 26-year-old Kevin McGrath was last seen on board the Carnival cruise ship Conquest early Monday morning. McGrath was reported missing by a family member, Carnival said in a statement to CBS News.
The passenger’s grandmother told NBC News his passenger card was last used at the ship’s casino and later at his cabin, adding his phone was left in his room and his bed wasn’t slept in. Before docking Wednesday, the ship is also scheduled to call on Grand Cayman and Cozumel, a Carnival spokesperson said. According to the cruise line’s website, the 952-foot-long Carnival Glory can hold up to 2,980 passengers and 1,150 crew members.
"In the video we showed to his family, he can be seen intentionally opening a gate, walking into a restricted area, and jumping from a lifeboat," a Carnival spokesperson told FOX Business in a statement. The search for 28-year-old Tyler Barnett of Houma, Louisiana, resumed Wednesday morning after being paused due to severe weather conditions and safety concerns. The time between someone going overboard and the cruise ship launching a search-and-rescue mission can often be the difference between life and death. Barnett was seen on security footage at around midnight on Monday, the Coast Guard said. The Coast Guard launched two aircraft to try to find Barnett in a 200-mile area near where the ship sailed into the Gulf of Mexico. Between 2009 and 2019, there were 212 overboard incidents globally involving passengers and crew, according to statistics compiled for Cruise Lines International Association by consulting firm G.P.

She was last seen on CCTV footage in the crew lounge onboard the ship in March of 2011, but was not found anywhere onboard the ship following her disappearance and there is no evidence she went overboard. The investigation into her case has been criticized by the public and her family. Chris Matheson, a former member of British Parliament, said in 2015 her case "smells like a crime has taken place." Amy Lynn Bradley famously went missing during a Caribbean cruise when she was 23 years old in 1998. Her father awoke one morning to find her missing and investigators have rejected claims she may have fallen overboard due to her history as a strong swimmer and no sign of her body in the water. She was never found, though several people have reported sightings, including a U.S.
