A British tourist is missing after falling more than 100ft overboard from the world’s biggest cruise ship off the coast of Mexico.
The Mexican navy and coastguard are still searching for the unnamed man, who is aged 30, but there is little hope he will be found alive.
He was among more than 4,500 passengers on board Allure of the Seas as it sailed from Florida to an island south of Cancun on a gay and lesbian-themed seven-day cruise.
‘Hedonistic’: Allure of the Seas was used to host a massive party with 4,500 passengers on board as the ship sailed from Florida to an island south of Cancun on a gay and lesbian-themed seven-day cruise
CCTV captured him falling from a balcony outside his cabin on Deck 11 at about 7.10am local time on Friday when guests were sleeping after an ‘Eighties’ party.
Most of those on board the ship, chartered by a firm called Atlantis, are gay men said to be enjoying the ‘hedonistic atmosphere’.
A picture, above, posted online from a recent Atlantis cruise shows the decks of the 213ft-tall vessel packed with bare-chested revellers.
Sean Patrick Lewis, a passenger on the current cruise, said the tragedy has done little to dampen the mood on board: ‘We have been having parties every night on the ship with lights, lasers and very loud music.’

The ship’s owner, Royal Caribbean International, insists that the CCTV footage shows the man jumped deliberately.
But the family of 24-year-old cruise ship worker Rebecca Coriam, who disappeared from the Disney Wonder off the coast of Mexico last year, believe it is too early to make this judgment.
They were also told their daughter had jumped, but a year on they say they are no closer to discovering the truth about what happened.
Rebecca’s mother Ann Coriam said: ‘They can’t possibly have carried out the thorough investigation necessary to come to that conclusion.’
Campaigners complain that there is no international police organisation for crimes at sea, leaving investigations to the police force of the country where the ship is registered – often places such as Panama, Bermuda or, in the case of Allure of the Seas, the Bahamas.
A Royal Caribbean executive, who asked not to be named, told The Mail on Sunday: ‘The ship is on full charter to Atlantis, meaning they essentially bought the ship’s cabins for the cruise and then sold them. Atlantis likes to throw big parties in the public spaces.’

Not convinced that this poor man’s sexuality has much bearing on his unfortunate accident. Unclear why The Mail chose to focus on it.

It looks like a navigable sky scraper. Too big and too bulky and too heavy and it doesn’t look pleasant at all.

What a shame Mr J and myself are straight. I’d imagine you’d have a great time on this ship. Certainly if anyone knows how to party, it’s gay men. We went on a cruise a couple of years ago and it reminded me of my two-week stay in St Richards Hospital in Chichester, Many of the guests were near to death and those that hadn’t any real health problems, were too fat to move. Awful experience. I think generally crusies are for the fat and lazy. Maybe I should convince Mr J to grow a moustache?

I always pictured cruising as a quiet relaxing holiday… those crowds make it look more like a claustrophobic nightmare. These ships are now so big that they look about as relaxing as staying in the middle of some giant city with endless blocks of ugly flats. I see them come in and out of the Docks in Southampton, from the side they just look like vast office blocks. Ugly.

Pink Butlins on the sea, can’t imagine anything worse!

Oooh. Looks lovely. So many hot men. I wouldn’t mind taking a holiday on that. I know my chances of finding love are extremely low on a cruise like that but the dancing, fun and friends to made is very alluring indeed. Its very sad that someone died on the cruise though. I wish his family love.

What on earth is a ‘Gay Lesbian themed’ holiday? Where everyone pretends to be gay and lesbian?

Ultimate nightmare. I cannot for the life of me understand why people want to be crammed on a reeling boat full of strangers you cannot escape from for 2 weeks. Madness!

With so many people on board statistically there would be quite a large chance of someone falling overboard…

They guy would have been killed or seriously injured even hitting the water incorrectly from that height (i.e. feet together and arms across body). Then he would have probably been pulled under the boat by the ship’s propeller. There is very little chance of finding a body.
