Following the incident, the cruise vessel left Livorno on Wednesday, sailing to its next destination, the port of Civitavecchia.
Recently, a 37-year-old man fell from the cruise ship on July 4, when the vessel was sailing about 30 miles northwest of Cuba, heading back to Miami from Cozumel. Although the USCG members searched for 45 hours, they weren’t able to detect the crewmember and suspended the search.
