Search fails to find US man, 20, who jumped off cruise ship after row

All hope has been abandoned in the search for a 20-year-old passenger who threw himself from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship in front of his horrified family after an argument on Thursday.

The US Coast Guard was scrambled after the young man jumped from the 11th deck of the Liberty of the Seas just before 4am on April 4, but its search for the unnamed man has now been called off.

The ship was hours away from docking at Fort Lauderdale in after a four-day Caribbean cruise when the man was confronted by his father as he emerged from a hot tub packed with revelers.
