Videos captured the moment a woman who went overboard while on a cruise ship was rescued.
The woman fell into the water from the 10th deck of Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas on Sunday evening, the U.S. Coast Guard told Fox 35.
The ship left Port Canaveral, in Florida, on Friday, June 23, for an eight-day round trip to the Caribbean, according to the CruiseMapper website.

At the time the woman went overboard, the ship was about 27 nautical miles south of Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic, and was headed to Willemstad, Curaçao.
The U.S. Coast Guard at Sector San Juan received a report at around 5:44 p.m. that the ship’s crew had rescued the woman. She was identified only as a 42-year-old U.S. citizen.
She was reported to be in good health following the rescue, the Coast Guard statement said.
Matthew Kuhn, who was on the cruise with his family, shared videos of the rescue on Twitter.
