“The passenger who went overboard the largest cruise ship in the world this week has been identified as a 19-year-old college student from Washington state — who was vacationing with pals at the time, his family announced.”

“Sigmund Ropich, known to his loved ones as “boiboi,” was aboard Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas when he toppled into the waters off the coast of Cuba on Tuesday, according to his sister Savannah.”

“We were told by the Cuban officials that they are done searching in the ocean. They are continuing only on the coast and land. I have a strong feeling they’re going to end this search,” Savannah told Insider.”

“The Ropich family has been largely kept in the dark about Sigmund’s disappearance, the sibling said.”

“Royal Caribbean has refused to tell them how long the ship’s crew searched for the teen, though an industry blog reported that rescuers spent about three hours scouring the waves using spotlights, small craft and watchers after the ship turned around and retraced its route.”

In a similar incident, a 19-year-old passenger went overboard from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship in the Caribbean, prompting an ongoing search and rescue effort, per CNN.

The incident occurred during the cruise of the Royal Caribbean ship Wonder of the Seas, which embarked from Port Canaveral, Florida, on August 27 for a seven-day journey in the western Caribbean.

Details regarding how the 19-year-old went overboard and the duration of time he spent in the water before the search commenced remain unclear.

Royal Caribbean stated that the ship's onboard crew swiftly initiated a search and rescue operation and is collaborating closely with local authorities.

However, Sigmund Ropich's family, who confirmed he was a passenger on the cruise, expressed their desperation for answers and frustration with the limited information provided by Cuban Border Guard officials, who are leading the search.

Savannah Ropich, Sigmund's sister, emphasized their desire to bring their brother home, lamenting the extended duration of the search and the lack of communication from authorities.

The search for Sigmund Ropich is ongoing, and the family continues to hope for his safe return.
