The Carnival Glory has reported a crew member missing in the middle of the night as the ship docked in Nassau. They notified the United States Coast Guard (USCG). The vessel was searched thoroughly for the crew member without results, and at that point about 12:30 hours the USCG was notified.
The man did not report to his muster station at 6:30am on Friday morning prior to docking in Nassau. The ship's officers believe he 'fell' overboard sometime between 02:30 hours (2:30am) and 06:30 hours (6:30am). The search area is based on that time frame.
The USCG continued its search of 1,350 square miles Saturday morning for the cruise ship crew member believed to have fallen overboard about 45 miles north of Nassau, Bahamas.
