A 28-year-old man fell overboard from the Carnival Valor cruise ship hours before he was reported missing off of the southeast Louisiana coast. The passenger is in stable condition.
The federal government has given the go-ahead for cruise ships to sail from ports in the United States. Officials stopped cruise lines in March as the coronavirus pandemic ramped up.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention extended the 'no sail' order for cruise lines until Oct. 31. The CDC had wanted the delay into next year but the White House reportedly intervened.
