  • A man mysteriously went missing on a Carnival Cruise ship
  • The disappearance of Kevin McGrath, 26, was reported hours before the boat was due to return to Miami
  • Security footage shows that McGrath did NOT go overboard

A man mysteriously disappeared from a Carnival Cruise ship just hours before the ship was due to arrive in Miami.

Kevin McGrath, 26, was a passenger on a Carnival Cruise ship sailing from Miami to Bimini, Bahamas over Labor Day weekend.

He was supposed to meet his family for breakfast on Monday morning before the ship returned to Florida, but he never showed up.

The Carnival Cruise company contacted the Miami Police Department and Coast Guard to alert them to the mysterious disappearance, but the search turned up nothing.

Kevin’s sister Kristen McGrath said, ‘My brother is missing! He never got off the carnival conquest cruise ship. He has a family that loves him and we won’t rest until we find him.’

McGrath was last seen by his brother at 2 a.m. in his cabin at number 1326. He was wearing a black T-shirt with black shorts and gray sneakers.

CCTV and security equipment have shown that McGrath did not go overboard.

The concerned family of the missing man reported his disappearance at 7 a.m. Monday.

After the Miami-Dade searched the boat to McGrath without finding him, they cleared the cruise ship to return to the Bahamas.

Mitchell Branch was a friend of McGrath’s through the military. He said, “The army was a bond that could never be broken. I pray you are well.’

Branch said, “Part of me wants to drive to Florida and start my own search.”
