A passenger aboard a Royal Caribbean International cruise ship has gone overboard in waters near Mexico, the cruise lines spokeswoman Cynthia Martinez confirmed Friday.
The ship departed Port Everglades Sunday on a 7-night Caribbean voyage.
The 30-year-old british man reportedly fell from his stateroom on Deck 11 of Allure of the Seas the worlds largest cruise ship.
Authorities are currently conducting a search for the man and the lines Care Team is providing support to his family, Royal Caribbean said.

On Friday, February 03, 2012, as Allure of the Seas was sailing to Cozumel, Mexico, a guest witnessed another guest going overboard. The ship made multiple public announcements and began a complete search of the ship, in efforts to locate the guest. When the guest did not respond to the pages and was not found onboard, the Captain alerted the local authorities of the situation.
A review of the ships closed-circuit camera footage observed the 30 year old British guest going over the balcony railing in his stateroom on deck 11. The location of the ship at the time the guest went overboard was marked on the ships Global Positioning System (GPS) and the U.S. and Mexican Coast Guard were alerted.
Allure of the Seas, along with the Mexican Coast Guard, Mexican Navy and the pilot boat, are currently conducting a search for the missing guest.
Our Care Team is providing support to the guests family and our thoughts and prayers are with them.
Allure of the Seas is currently sailing a seven-night Caribbean itinerary that departed Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on January 29, with port calls to Labadee, Haiti; Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico.
Earlier this week a 47-year-old woman Massachusetts woman died aboard Royal Caribbeans Liberty of the Seas ship after slipping and hitting her head on glass stairs in the ships disco early Monday.
