Robbins, a standout baseball player, graduated from University Laboratory High School in Baton Rouge on May 21. Royal Bahamas Defense Force Commodore Raymond King has told the Daily Mail the the water in that area are “really shark-infested,” which has fueled the shark-attack theory. 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.

Royal Caribbean said it “immediately” launched search boats to look for the 20-year-old and alerted the Coast Guard, which later took over the search. Sims told the Post he had been chatting with the Parker brothers before Levion jumped overboard, remarking that the older brother was "pretty drunk." He said that Levion spoke of his jobs on yachts and fishing vessels. 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. The Coast Guard assisted the Royal Bahamas Defence Force in search efforts by deploying aircrews. #cameronrobbins #fyp I know they were drunk and probably didnt grasp the severity of the situation but to just record and say bye bye knowing he waw struggling breaks my heart.

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.

A study by Cruise Lines International Association found that only 28% of those who fell overboard between 2009 and 2019 survived. "The ship was moving pretty fast because it was during the night, and we were traveling a long distance," Sims recalled to the Post. "We were screaming and his dad was calling everyone to stop the ship… Lots of crew were up top and they started launching the smaller boats to search after we got turned around and back to the area I'm assuming." Deborah Morrison, another passenger, told the Post that "there was a lot of yelling, and the crew was alerted immediately" after Levion jumped.

Douglas adds that while conspiracy theories can be meant as a salve, they do have real-world consequences. And while Robbins is no longer here, he is survived by a grieving community — all of whom will have access to the things people are saying about their loved one. “He will be missed desperately by his family and friends,” his obituary read, “who will carry their cherished memories of him to eternity.” For Robbins’ sake, and the sake of his family, the internet should let him rest. "We offer our sincerest condolences to Cameron Robbins’ family and friends," Beal said in a statement.

Robbins disappeared three days after his graduation from University Laboratory School. A chaotic video taken moments after the jump also shows the recent graduate ignoring onlookers’ pleas to grab a buoy. Robbins was last seen splashing in the dark, “shark-infested” waters a few feet from the boat, before vanishing from view.

"When we got to them, he said to his dad, 'I'll fix this right now.' And he jumped out the window in front of us all." The minimum age for drinking on a Royal Caribbean cruise departing from the U.S. or Caribbean is 21. "I was confident the prayers I said over my son were heard. I stand on the word of God. I believe he is alive." 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. Loved ones reportedly witnessed Parker jump off the 11th deck of the Liberty of the Seas cruise liner in what appeared to be an “impulsive leap,” the Post reported last week, citing a witness. The boat stayed in the area that night for hours after the incident as people looked for Robbins.

"U.S. Coast Guard District Seven deployed multiple search and rescue assets in response to an agency assistance request from our partners in the Royal Bahamas Defence Force," said Lt. Commander Matthew Spado, Coast Guard liaison officer to the Bahamas. "Our Coast Guard command center and aircrews based in Miami supported RBDF search and rescue efforts since the initial report Wednesday evening, and continued through Friday evening." Volunteer passengers will be sailing on the company's Freedom of the Seas ship for the simulated cruises out of PortMiami, the Miami Herald reported. The U.S. Coast Guard has ended their search for a Louisiana teenager who fell overboard from a sunset cruise in the Bahamas on Wednesday night. The high school baseball standout graduated from Baton Rouge's U-High on May 21, and his last posts on Instagram include pictures of him surrounded by his family and friends. The viral cellphone video of Robbins in the water, which was seen over 10 million times, went through virtually every type of edit on social media after a speculation-fueled narrative that Robbins encountered a shark gripped people's curiosities.
Dozens of their contractors had been invited onto the cruise for the company's 50th anniversary. Another passenger on the Liberty of the Seas cruise told the New York Post that Parker's dad confronted the 20-year-old and his 18-year-old brother, Seth, after they'd gotten out of the ship's hot tub. 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. In a statement, Royal Caribbean said it immediately halted the ship and dispatched boats to search for Parker, but had no luck.
He was staying at Atlantis Paradise Island with a group of fellow seniors from other area high schools. The party ship remained in the area for several hours while the crew looked for Robbins. According to witnesses, the teen — who was apparently acting on a dare — took a plunge off a party cruise into the ocean near Athol Island at night. The Blackbeard’s Revenge, which is designed to resemble a pirate ship, remained in the area for several hours while the crew attempted to look for Robbins.
The ship continued on its voyage back to Fort Lauderdale shortly after, leaving the search up to the Coast Guard. Deborah Morrison, another passenger, told the Daily Mail that crew were “alerted immediately” by the “yelling” that erupted on deck after Parker’s leap. The Broward County Sheriff’s Office identified Parker on Wednesday, the New York Post and Daily Mail reported, just a day after the Coast Guard officially called off their search for the previously unidentified man. Florida deputies did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation from The Daily Beast.
The Coast Guard called off its own search two days later, after reportedly scouring over 325 square miles.

Under the CDC guidelines, each practice cruise will run two to seven days and must have enough passengers to meet at least 10% of the ship's capacity.
