A 72-year-old American man has gone missing from a Princess Cruise ship while on a five-day trip around Mexico. Officials suspect he may have fallen overboard at some point during the voyage.
The search for the man was initiated after the Ruby Princess arrived in San Francisco early Monday morning and crew members realized he was missing. The unidentifiable passenger was traveling alone, and concerns are mounting that he may not have survived.
The cruise line has stated that they are cooperating with local authorities in the search efforts. They have thoroughly reviewed CCTV footage and conducted multiple searches of the ship but have yet to locate the missing passenger.
“Having ruled out other possibilities, this is being treated as a man overboard incident,” a spokesperson for the cruise line mentioned.
In a statement, the cruise company also expressed their condolences to the family and friends of the missing guest, emphasizing the difficulties of such an unfortunate situation.
The Ruby Princess departed for Ensenada, Mexico, on November 27. The exact time of the passenger’s disappearance remains unclear, and authorities are continuing their investigation into this baffling incident.
