The search for a 66-year-old woman who went overboard during a Taylor Swift-themed cruise on Tuesday night has been suspended, the U.S. Coast Guard announced Wednesday. Initially, the search was led by the Royal Bahamas Defense Force, with support from the Coast Guard.

“We were informed by @TheRBDF this afternoon that they are suspending the active search efforts pending further developments & were no longer requesting further @USCG assistance,” the Coast Guard posted on X.
The woman, whose name has not been publicly released, reportedly fell from the Royal Caribbean ship Allure of the Seas approximately 17 miles north of Nassau, Bahamas.
The “In My Cruise Era” voyage, a four-night Swift-themed cruise from Miami to the Bahamas, departed Monday with around 400 registered passengers. Although inspired by Swift’s fandom, the event was not officially affiliated with the artist and offered activities like karaoke, dance parties, and friendship bracelet trading.

To respect the privacy of our guest’s family, we have no additional details to share,” a company spokesperson stated.
