A search and rescue effort is underway after a woman fell overboard from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship.
The 66-year-old woman fell overboard from Allure of the Seas around 9:40 p.m. Tuesday 17 miles north of Nassau, Bahamas, the U.S. Coast Guard said in a statement to FOX Business. The federal agency is assisting the lead agency, Royal Bahamas Defense Force.
The ship left Miami on Monday, cruise tracking website CruiseMapper shows. Its current 4-day itinerary made a stop in Nassau on Tuesday and docked in Coco Cay on Wednesday.
