Teens tried to stop Cameron Robbins before he jumped off Bahamas cruise, passenger's parent says
The US Coast Guard had been searching for Cameron since he was reported missing on Wednesday but the search was called off on Friday night. Cameron Robbins, 18, from Louisiana, US, was on a graduate boating excursion in the Bahamas on May 24 when he was dared to jump overboard, according to witnesses. "The industry loves to say that passenger safety is their number one concern but they certainly aren't putting their time, money, and attention where their mouth is. "Much change is needed in regards to the cruise industry's passenger safety and security policies", she said.

Authorities officially designated Robbins as "lost at sea," which is the same as a death certificate, and a memorial service for Robbins will be held Sunday at Broadmoor United Methodist Church in Baton Rouge. The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said many of the students were part of a close-knit community that was in shock, disbelief, exhausted and cold as the U.S. Coast Guard, Royal Bahamas Defence Force and United Cajun Navy searched the waters until about 3 a.m.

The 20-year-old passenger who jumped off a Royal Caribbean cruise last week after an argument with his dad has been identified as a former high school football player and avid hunter living in Florida. MSC Cruises did not identify the teenager, describing him only as a young man who was traveling with his family. Most of the 4,000 passengers aboard reportedly weren’t alerted to the incident until later that morning, when the ship’s captain made an announcement while many ate breakfast.

“The crew executed the ‘man overboard’ protocol in line with all approved safety procedures and company policies to ensure the best chance of retrieving an individual who has gone overboard,” Mr Chia said. Royal Bahamas Defense Force Commodore Raymond King has told the Daily Mail the the water in that area are “really shark-infested,” which has fueled the shark-attack theory. “As we were walking from the hot tub back to the elevators, his dad and brother were walking towards us. His dad was fussing at him for being drunk, I guess,” Sims said of the moment before Parker jumped. “When we got to them, he said to his dad, ‘I’ll fix this right now.’ And he jumped out the window in front of us all,” Sims said.
"We offer our sincerest condolences to Cameron Robbins’ family and friends," Beal said in a statement.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Robbins Family during this incredibly difficult time.

Obviously we agreed. We really appreciated their leadership in this trying time." The 18-year-old "reportedly jumped from a pleasure vessel," the Royal Bahamas Police Force said in a statement.

A few days after Robbins’ disappearance, his family travelled from Louisiana to the Bahamas to take part in the search and visit the area where he was last seen, before returning home Sunday. Robbins, a standout baseball player, graduated from University Laboratory High School in Baton Rouge on May 21. Parker jumped off the 18-story Liberty of the Seas after reportedly getting into an argument with his father. The Blackbeard’s Revenge, which is designed to resemble a pirate ship, remained in the area for several hours while the crew attempted to look for Robbins. Parker’s father owns an air conditioning company and the family was cruising on the boat as guests of a wholesale company, according to the New York Post. NORTH PORT, Fla. (SNN TV)—- A man who jumped off a Royal Caribbean cruise last week has been identified as a former North Port High School football player.
"Once the vessel came into the port, they responded to a deceased person on the ship," Thomas said. Sims told the Post that Parker “appeared drunk,” and he spotted him arguing with his dad over the supposed drinking. Moments later, he said Parker leaped into the sea without a trace from an area that housed whirlpools and hot tubs. Bryan Sims, a passenger who claimed he saw the incident unfold, told the paper he’d been hanging out with Parker and his brother in the hot tub.
The footage captures horrified onlookers on the ship frantically yelling at Robbins to “grab the buoy,” but the teen appears to swim in the opposite direction — possibly encountering a shark next to him. As many cases are often deadly, many cruise lines have installed surveillance cameras and employed additional safety measures to help reduce risk. Nearly 400 people have gone overboard on major cruise lines between 2000 and 2020, according to the Washington Post. Robbins disappeared three days after his graduation from University Laboratory School.
He had been drinking and had just gotten into an argument with his father, witnesses said. "None of the experts consulted can definitely say what's in the video due to the quality and length of the video," Trascher said. "The Robbins family has requested that we not entertain that theory any longer, so our official position is that we don't know what happened while Cam was in the water." "In times like these, we must come together and support each other. Words fall short of expressing the worry our entire school community is feeling. They are also providing support to students who are struggling with his disappearance. George described Robbins as a "great kid" and athlete who had been with the school for 13 years, since the start of his education.
"Our team immediately notified authorities and our care team assisted the young man’s family on board," the statement said. "All of us at MSC Cruises are heartbroken. The family remains in our thoughts and prayers." Social media accounts for Parker showed that he was an outdoorsman who’d won a fishing tournament just weeks prior to his fatal leap. Posts showed he played football for North Port High School, in southwest Florida, and graduated from there in 2022, reported the Daily Mail.
Deborah Morrison, another passenger, told the Daily Mail that crew were “alerted immediately” by the “yelling” that erupted on deck after Parker’s leap. The Broward County Sheriff’s Office identified Parker on Wednesday, the New York Post and Daily Mail reported, just a day after the Coast Guard officially called off their search for the previously unidentified man. Florida deputies did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation from The Daily Beast. Authorities with the Royal Bahamas Defence Force (RBDF) and US Coast Guard launched a widespread, two-day search operation. Parker, of North Port, Florida, jumped off the 11th deck of the Liberty of the Seas around 4 a.m. On April 4, plummeting 200 feet into the Atlantic in front of his helpless brother and father while heading to Cuba and the Bahamas’ Grand Inagua Island, Florida officials said.
