Carnival Cruise Ship Rescues Two Men Stranded in Gulf of Mexico

The men, found adrift in a kayak after their boat sank, were brought aboard the Carnival Jubilee and later transferred to the Mexican Navy.

  • Carnival Jubilee, a cruise ship from Carnival Cruise Line, rescued two men stranded in the Gulf of Mexico after their boat sank.
  • The men, found adrift in a kayak near Isla Mujeres, Mexico, were spotted by the ship's crew on their route from Texas to the western Caribbean.
  • Once aboard the ship, the men were evaluated by the medical staff, provided with first aid, and given food and water.
  • Carnival's Fleet Operation Center in Miami coordinated with Mexican Navy officials to arrange a transfer of the men after their rescue.
  • This is the second rescue by a Carnival ship in a little over a month, following the rescue of six men stranded off the Dominican Republic in December.
