The Coast Guard is searching for a woman who fell overboard during a Taylor Swift-themed cruise in the Bahamas.
A 66-year-old woman is missing after she fell from Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas cruise ship around 9:40pm on Tuesday, according to a Coast Guard statement.
The incident happened approximately 17 miles north of Nassau, Bahamas. The ship had departed from Miami.
The Coast Guard has sent a plane and a helicopter to the area to search for the woman.
“Our crew immediately launched a search and rescue effort and is working with local authorities,” a Royal Caribbean spokesperson said. “We are also providing support and assistance to the guest’s family during this difficult time. To respect the privacy of our guest’s family, we have no additional details to share.”
It is unclear if the woman was with the Swifties or if she was coincidentally on the ship at the same time as the event.
