The ship was near Athol Island an uninhabited island located northeast of Nassau, according to WBRZ. Videos show Robbins jumping from the boat and swimming with a life preserver nearby.

The amount of alcohol being served on cruise ships is also a concern cited by several experts, who said passengers are being overserved. Alcohol is involved in up to 60 percent of overboard cases, according to Klein, and alcoholic drinks have become one of the leading sources of onboard revenue for cruise lines in recent years. While it’s true that tens of millions of people vacation on cruise ships every year without incident, experts say a combination of mitigatable risks and loose safety regulations are contributing to deaths. A person can also become unconscious from hypothermia in as little as 15 minutes, depending on sea temperatures.

He had been drinking and had just gotten into an argument with his father, witnesses said. Another clip shows him fighting with a fish on his line as it darts under the boat before it cuts to Parker taking a dip in the sea. 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.

Where he was on a sunset cruise with a bunch of his peers celebrating their achievement. A chaotic video taken moments after the jump also shows the recent graduate ignoring onlookers’ pleas to grab a buoy. The Louisiana high school graduate who disappeared after leaping off a cruise ship into dark waters off the Bahamas last week may have met a grisly fate in the “shark-infested” area, a local official said.

Following his presumed death, a memorial was planned for the teenager on Sunday (4 June). Cameron Robbins went on a trip to the Bahamas to celebrate his graduation from the University Laboratory School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He and several friends were aboard the Blackbeard’s Revenge cruise on 24 May when Cameron allegedly jumped off the boat on a dare. The parents of an 18-year-old high school graduate who fell overboard on a sunset cruise in the Bahamas have broken their silence. The boat, designed to resemble a pirate ship, remained in the area for several hours as crew members tried to find the teen.

The Royal Bahamas Defence Force, assisted by the US Coast Guard Southeast, has been searching for the missing teen from the air, but so far without success. Cameron's family released a statement following the announcement that the search for him had been called off. Several others could be heard shouting to him that he's swimming away from a buoy which would have helped keep him afloat in the sea. 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 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. Of 212 overboard incidents between 2009 and 2019, only 48 — or 28.2% — of those who went overboard were successfully rescued, according to a report from the Cruise Lines International Association. 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.

But what has happened since the video has turned Robbins’ last moments from a distressing mishap to a perfect example of how social media turns tragedies into entertainment — all in the search for something deeper. Since May 25, TikToks using the hashtag #CameronRobbins have been viewed over 132 million times. Some suggest that rather than drowning, Robbins was attacked by sharks, offering evidence in the form of slowed-down and poorly enhanced clips. The fact that they’re blurry, and do not definitively show even the outline of a shark, hasn’t kept the videos from going viral. Several accounts have also claimed to use audio isolation to prove an unintelligible shout in the video is warning the teen about a fin in the water. Robbins is featured on crime accounts and news TikToks, and there’s even a growing trend that puts sad songs behind videos imagining Robbins’ last moments.

Posts showed he played football for North Port High School, in southwest Florida, and graduated from there in 2022, reported the Daily Mail. Speculation grew so large that in an interview with Fox News, a spokesperson for the United Cajun Navy addressed the rumors, saying that Robbins’ family had asked rescuers to shut the theory down. The Coast Guard assisted the Royal Bahamas Defence Force in search efforts by deploying aircrews. The Royal Bahamas Police Force is investigating claims that Robbins jumped overboard as part of a dare, according to WBRZ.

The footage also contains the last words that Cameron may have heard before going missing that night on 24 May. Official search attempts for the 18-year-old were called off on 27 May as the Royal Bahamas Defence Force and the US Coast Guard Southeast were unable to locate him in the water. He was last seen paddling around in the water before disappearing from view, with the boat staying in place for several hours in an attempt to find Robbins. That is until he vanished behind the boat and out of view of everyone, who began screaming at him to grab a life preserver that'd been thrown to him -- which was pretty far away, and he didn't end up reaching it. Robbins was last seen splashing in the dark, “shark-infested” waters a few feet from the boat, before vanishing from view. “He initially goes for the buoy but then turns around when he sees the shark, ultimately disappearing into the water, likely dragged down.
