The Coast Guard was searching for a cruise ship employee who fell overboard from the Carnival Sensation about 20 miles east of Vero Beach early Thursday.
The man is a member of the entertainment staff and was off duty, according to a statement issued by Carnival. He was seen falling overboard by six crew members about 12:40 a.m., the statement said.
The cruise was returning to Port Canaveral after a four-day Bahamas cruise that started Sunday.
The man, who has not been identified by authorities or by Carnival officials, was the second person to go overboard on a cruise ship in a week. Jennifer Ellis-Seitz, 36, of Winter Haven, was reported missing Dec. 26 from the Norwegian Pearl off Cancun, Mexico. She has not been found, and that search has been called off.
