Mexican Navy boats and helicopters are searching water off the Caribbean resort of Cancun for an American woman who reportedly fell from a cruise ship.
A U.S. Coast Guard search-and-rescue crew using a C-130 aircraft was looking for 36-year-old Jennifer Feitz late Saturday. Feitz's husband reported her missing from the Norwegian Pearl cruise ship just before 5 a.m. EST Friday. Her hometown was not available.
Mexico's Fifth Naval Regional Command said in a statement it had found no sign of Feitz and was having to deal with "adverse conditions" and strong waves in the search taking place just over 17 miles east of Cancun.
Norwegian Cruise Line says the ship left Sunday from Miami for a seven-day western Caribbean cruise.
