A 72-year-old British woman went missing from the cruise ship Marella Voyager while it was crossing the Atlantic towards the Caribbean. She was last seen on Monday; staff discovered on Tuesday night that her bed had not been used and raised the alarm. The crew searched the ship, counted passengers and reviewed onboard camera footage. Nearby ships were asked to look for her.

The crew suspects she may have gone overboard, though it remains unclear when she disappeared. The US Coast Guard advised the captain to continue sailing rather than turn back to search. The ship, carrying about 2,000 passengers and 800 crew members, is expected in Antigua before continuing to Dominica and Barbados.
