The U.S. Coast Guard has ended their search for a Louisiana teenager who went overboard during a sunset cruise in the Bahamas on Wednesday night. According to a witness, crews made multiple unsuccessful attempts to locate Robbins as the boat, resembling a pirate ship, stayed in the area for several hours. A video has surfaced showing boat passengers in the Bahamas moments after an 18-year-old Louisiana star baseball player jumped off the ship in response to a dare, resulting in a fatal outcome.

He has "been here throughout his entire educational career. He's an athlete, great kid, great smile, great head of hair. Just one of the kids you're so proud of when they cross the stage," George said. However, the cellphone footage is too dark and chaotic to definitively show what happened, and the theory is no longer officially being investigated at the request of Robbins' family, Brian Trascher, spokesperson for the United Cajun Navy, told Fox News Digital on Friday. The video appears to show a shadowy object in the water move toward the recent high school grad, who was swimming toward a life preserver before changing direction. Experts have told Fox News Digital there is a vast array of marine life, including dolphins, tiger sharks and bull sharks in those waters that feed off the scraps from the boats. A woman whose son was friends with Robbins and on the boat at the time told Fox News Digital that several students tried to grab Robbins before he took the plunge, but he broke free. Robbins graduated from the University Lab High School, which operates as part of LSU, on Sunday.

The waters off Athol Island, where 18-year-old Cameron Robbins was last seen swimming after jumping off the Blackbeard’s Revenge sunset cruise on May 24, are “really shark-infested,” Royal Bahamas Defense Force (RBDF) Commodore Raymond King told the Daily Mail on Tuesday. MIAMI (WFLA) — A passenger died on a cruise ship departing Miami Sunday after falling off a balcony, according to reports. Robbins went overboard from a sunset cruise on Blackbeard’s Revenge near Athol Island Wednesday night.

University Lab School Director Kevin George said Robbins had attended the school for 13 years and had been a pitcher on the school’s baseball team. The ship remained in the area for several hours while the crew attempted to look for Robbins. Ashley Peterson, a passenger on the ship, tweeted a photo of a Dec. 22 letter from the ship's captain apologizing for being unable to make stops in Aruba and Bonaire. The letter said passengers would get $100 per room in onboard credit, as well refunds for planned excursions. Parker jumped off the 18-deck Liberty of the Seas, and Royal Caribbean said it “immediately” launched search boats to look for him with help from the U.S. NORTH PORT, Fla. (SNN TV)—- A man who jumped off a Royal Caribbean cruise last week has been identified as a former North Port High School football player.

This week, Celebrity and other lines loosened their COVID protocols, no longer requiring vaccinated passengers to test before most cruises and allowing unvaccinated passengers, who must test before boarding. Insider reported the incident happened shortly after Virgin Voyages’ Valiant Lady left Miami to go to Roatan, Honduras, Sunday — according to a statement from a spokesperson. The Coast Guard said Robbins was believed to have fallen overboard, but witnesses claimed that he had jumped off of the ship on a dare, WAFB reported. The Coast Guard announced Friday evening that the Royal Bahamas Defence Force, which had been looking for 18-year-old Cameron Robbins since Wednesday, was halting its search and no longer needed assistance from the US military branch.

The U.S. Coast Guard has ended their search for a Louisiana teenager who fell overboard from a sunset cruise in the Bahamas on Wednesday night. The teen fell off the Blackbeard's Revenge sunset cruise ship, the Coast Guard said. "U.S. Coast Guard District Seven deployed multiple search and rescue assets in response to an agency assistance request from our partners in the Royal Bahamas Defence Force," said Lt. Commander Matthew Spado, Coast Guard liaison officer to the Bahamas. "Our Coast Guard command center and aircrews based in Miami supported RBDF search and rescue efforts since the initial report Wednesday evening, and continued through Friday evening."

"None of the experts consulted can definitely say what's in the video due to the quality and length of the video," Trascher said. "The Robbins family has requested that we not entertain that theory any longer, so our official position is that we don't know what happened while Cam was in the water."

The parents of an 18-year-old high school graduate who fell overboard on a sunset cruise in the Bahamas have broken their silence. Cameron Robbins, who attended University Laboratory School in Baton Rouge, was on a trip with a group of students when he went overboard on Wednesday night, according to school officials. Kevin George, the director of the school, told local news outlet WBRZ that Robbins was a "special kid." The viral cellphone video of Robbins in the water, which was seen over 10 million times, went through virtually every type of edit on social media after a speculation-fueled narrative that Robbins encountered a shark gripped people's curiosities.

The previous single-day highest number of cases was in last August, during the height of the delta variant wave in Florida, when 27,802 cases were reported. "Carnival Freedom is following all protocols and has a small number on board who are in isolation due to a positive COVID test," the statement said. "Our protocols anticipate this possibility and we implement them as necessary to protect the health and safety of our guests and crew." Employees of Nomi Health check in a long line of people for COVID-19 tests on Tuesday in North Miami, Fla. “As we were walking from the hot tub back to the elevators, his dad and brother were walking towards us,” passenger Bryan Sims told the Post. Parker’s father owns an air conditioning company and the family was cruising on the boat as guests of a wholesale company, according to the New York Post.

The teen also played baseball for the school, which operates as part of Louisiana State University. The US Coast Guard and Royal Bahamas Defence Force spent several days searching for Cameron before suspending their efforts on 27 May. Following his presumed death, a memorial was planned for the teenager on Sunday (4 June). Cameron Robbins went on a trip to the Bahamas to celebrate his graduation from the University Laboratory School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

The US Coast Guard and local Bahaman authorities spent days looking for Robbins before calling off their search last week after scouring more than 325 square miles of ocean. The Baton Rouge 18-year-old was enjoying a sunset cruise with several hundred fellow graduates May 24 when he leaped overboard from a vessel designed to look like a pirate ship — apparently on a dare. Cameron Robbins, 18, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was staying at the Atlantis Paradise resort in Nassau with other teenagers to celebrate their recent high school graduation, WBRZ reported. "We offer our sincerest condolences to Cameron Robbins’ family and friends," Beal said in a statement. The high school baseball standout graduated from Baton Rouge's U-High on May 21, and his last posts on Instagram include pictures of him surrounded by his family and friends.

“Words fall short of expressing the worry our entire school community is feeling. Extra counselors will be available on campus to speak with students and faculty who are struggling to process this news. Our thoughts are with the Robbins family, and we ask that you keep them in your thoughts as well,” Mr George wrote. The University Lab School Director Kevin George told WAFB that Cameron had attended the school for 13 years.
