MIAMI (AP) - U.S. Coast Guard crews are searching for a man who apparently jumped from the 12th deck of a Royal Caribbean cruise ship off of the Florida Keys.
Officials said in a news release sent Thursday that the crew of the Independence of the Seas notified the Coast Guard's command center in Key West early Thursday morning.
In a statement Royal Caribbean said witnesses saw the 22-year-old man "intentionally going overboard" from the 12th deck of the ship around 1:45 a.m.
The ship was on the last leg of a four-night cruise and was returning to Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale.
Crews are searching for him about 33 miles southeast of Key Largo.
