A Carnival Cruise passenger who was last seen at an onboard bar was pulled from the Gulf of Mexico alive and responsive after a massive overnight search, U.S. Coast Guard officials said Friday.
The 28-year-old missing man was rescued Thursday afternoon by the Coast Guard, a spokesman told CNN. He was and transferred to the New Orleans Lakefront Airport to receive treatment from emergency medical personnel and was in stable condition, the Coast Guard said Friday.
His sister had reported him missing to the crew of the Carnival Valor, saying she last saw him at a bar Wednesday night but lost track of him after he went to the bathroom around 11 p.m.
