The man's companion reported him missing late Monday afternoon, the statement said. It said security footage on the ship shows that the man "leaned over the railing of his stateroom balcony and dropped into the water" around 4 a.m.
Carnival said the Coast Guard released the ship from search efforts and told the captain to head back to port in Norfolk, Virginia. The ship can hold nearly 4,000 guests and is about 1,000 feet long.
