PORT CANAVERAL -- Despite a full day of searching, there are no signs of a Carnival Sensation cruise ship employee who fell overboard off the coast of Florida Thursday morning.

It happened just before 1 a.m. about 20 miles off the coast of Vero Beach.

Fellow workers saw the employee go overboard.

They threw him a lifeline and notified ship officials, who then call the U.S. Coast Guard.

Despite searching on the water and in the air, there have been no signs of him.

The ship was returning from a cruise to the Bahamas.
