He had been drinking and had just gotten into an argument with his father, witnesses said. "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." "In times like these, we must come together and support each other. Words fall short of expressing the worry our entire school community is feeling. They are also providing support to students who are struggling with his disappearance. George described Robbins as a "great kid" and athlete who had been with the school for 13 years, since the start of his education.

The footage captures horrified onlookers on the ship frantically yelling at Robbins to “grab the buoy,” but the teen appears to swim in the opposite direction — possibly encountering a shark next to him. As many cases are often deadly, many cruise lines have installed surveillance cameras and employed additional safety measures to help reduce risk. Nearly 400 people have gone overboard on major cruise lines between 2000 and 2020, according to the Washington Post. Robbins disappeared three days after his graduation from University Laboratory School.

In another video he dubbed a “typical Levion moment,” Parker feeds pelicans a fish out of his hands from a boat. The TikTok video was posted by Parker’s friend, Kaleb Felty, on March 27 and shows Parker beaming on a boat off Florida and splashing around in the shallows. "When he jumped into the water, he could have hit his head on the boat," Spears says. "He could have hit his head on the water, like slapping the water with his head. Either way could cause dizziness, a concussion or confusion."

"Once the vessel came into the port, they responded to a deceased person on the ship," Thomas said. Sims told the Post that Parker “appeared drunk,” and he spotted him arguing with his dad over the supposed drinking. Moments later, he said Parker leaped into the sea without a trace from an area that housed whirlpools and hot tubs. Bryan Sims, a passenger who claimed he saw the incident unfold, told the paper he’d been hanging out with Parker and his brother in the hot tub.

He also played football for North Port High School before he graduated in 2022, according to the Daily Mail. The 20-year-old passenger who jumped off a Royal Caribbean cruise last week after an argument with his dad has been identified as a former high school football player and avid hunter living in Florida. MSC Cruises did not identify the teenager, describing him only as a young man who was traveling with his family. Most of the 4,000 passengers aboard reportedly weren’t alerted to the incident until later that morning, when the ship’s captain made an announcement while many ate breakfast.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Robbins Family during this incredibly difficult time. Out of respect for the Robbins family’s privacy, we feel it’s inappropriate to comment on the details surrounding the night of the incident. She tragically lost her daughter Ashley after she died while onboard a cruise ship to Ensenada in 2006. "The kids reached out to us wanting to know, could they do a prayer circle. Obviously we agreed. We really appreciated their leadership in this trying time." The 18-year-old "reportedly jumped from a pleasure vessel," the Royal Bahamas Police Force said in a statement. The agency announced the conclusion of its search for 18-year-old Cameron Robbins, a recent high school graduate, on Saturday after a two-day effort led by the Royal Bahamas Defence Force.

The Coast Guard called off its own search two days later, after reportedly scouring over 325 square miles. Cameron Robbins, 18, graduated from University Laboratory School in Baton Rouge in May and was on a trip to the Bahamas with students from several local high schools. The Coast Guard called off its own search two days later, after reportedly scouring over 325 square miles. In a statement, Royal Caribbean said it immediately halted the ship and dispatched boats to search for Parker, but had no luck. The ship continued on its voyage back to Fort Lauderdale shortly after, leaving the search up to the Coast Guard. The boy’s stunned father, Francel Parker, told The Daily Sun he threw six life rings off the ship in hopes of saving his son before the massive vessel was able to come to a stop about 20 minutes later.

As CrimeOnline previously reported, Cameron Robbins, who had just graduated from University Laboratory School (U-High), jumped off the boat as a dare on May 24. A video obtained by DailyMail showed Robbins splashing in the water near the boat before he vanished. Cameron's baseball coach paid tribute to the teenager and called him a "fierce competitor." Jamie believes that if the Man Overboard Detection Technology, which detects anyone going overboard, was installed in more cruise ships in the US and around the world, it could have saved more lives. 18-year-old Cameron, from Louisiana, US, disappeared after reportedly being urged to jump into the shark-infested waters without a life jacket on May 24.

"We offer our sincerest condolences to Cameron Robbins’ family and friends," Beal said in a statement. 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. 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 was a high school baseball star in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and incredibly fit. However, experts are weighing in and saying that they don't believe a shark ended the high school senior's life. Sunday's memorial service will begin at 4 p.m., with visitation hours between 2 and 4 p.m. 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.

Authorities officially designated Robbins as "lost at sea," which is the same as a death certificate, and a memorial service for Robbins will be held Sunday at Broadmoor United Methodist Church in Baton Rouge. The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said many of the students were part of a close-knit community that was in shock, disbelief, exhausted and cold as the U.S. Coast Guard, Royal Bahamas Defence Force and United Cajun Navy searched the waters until about 3 a.m.

Three days later, Robbins and his friends joined graduates from other schools for a celebratory trip to the Bahamas, staying at the Atlantis Paradise Resort. “We offer our sincerest condolences to Cameron Robbins’ family and friends,” said Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Spado, Coast Guard liaison officer to the Bahamas. Royal Caribbean said it “immediately” launched search boats to look for him with help from the US Coast Guard.

"Our team immediately notified authorities and our care team assisted the young man’s family on board," the statement said. "All of us at MSC Cruises are heartbroken. The family remains in our thoughts and prayers." Social media accounts for Parker showed that he was an outdoorsman who’d won a fishing tournament just weeks prior to his fatal leap. Posts showed he played football for North Port High School, in southwest Florida, and graduated from there in 2022, reported the Daily Mail.
