"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Robbins Family during this incredibly difficult time. Out of respect for the Robbins family’s privacy, we feel it’s inappropriate to comment on the details surrounding the night of the incident. "None of the experts consulted can definitely say what's in the video due to the quality and length of the video," Trascher said. "The Robbins family has requested that we not entertain that theory any longer, so our official position is that we don't know what happened while Cam was in the water." The US Coast Guard District Seven deployed multiple search and rescue assets in response to obtaining assistance from their partners in the Royal Bahamas Defence Force. The students had only arrived on the island hours before the pirate-themed sunset boat excursion and had been staying at the Atlantis Paradise Island in Nassau, the parent said.
The recent high school graduate from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, disappeared in 'shark-infested waters'
Bryan Sims, a passenger who claimed he saw the incident unfold, told the paper he’d been hanging out with Parker and his brother in the hot tub. A memorial service for Robbins will be held Sunday afternoon in Baton Rouge. Robbins, a standout baseball player, graduated from University Laboratory High School in Baton Rouge on May 21. The footage captures horrified onlookers on the ship frantically yelling at Robbins to “grab the buoy,” but the teen appears to swim in the opposite direction — possibly encountering a shark next to him. A chaotic video taken moments after the jump also shows the recent graduate ignoring onlookers’ pleas to grab a buoy. According to witnesses, the teen — who was apparently acting on a dare — took a plunge off a party cruise into the ocean near Athol Island at night.

Catamaran RideCheck the shore excursion options for a leisurely catamaran sail — a great way for kids of all ages to explore more of the beautiful waters of The Bahamas, even if they’re not big on swimming. And if they are water babies and old enough for a bit of adventure, look for a tour that combines a catamaran sail and snorkeling. Check for age restrictions, but most snorkeling tours are open to children as long as they are accompanied by an adult.
Venice baseball continues dominant season
The Baton Rouge 18-year-old was enjoying a sunset cruise with several hundred fellow graduates May 24 when he leaped overboard from a vessel designed to look like a pirate ship — apparently on a dare. The video appears to show a shadowy object in the water move toward the recent high school grad, who was swimming toward a life preserver before changing direction. Experts have told Fox News Digital there is a vast array of marine life, including dolphins, tiger sharks and bull sharks in those waters that feed off the scraps from the boats.
There are many dining options available for Cable Beach visitors – restaurants at nearby hotels or local food vendors.

The fact that they’re blurry, and do not definitively show even the outline of a shark, hasn’t kept the videos from going viral. Several accounts have also claimed to use audio isolation to prove an unintelligible shout in the video is warning the teen about a fin in the water. Robbins is featured on crime accounts and news TikToks, and there’s even a growing trend that puts sad songs behind videos imagining Robbins’ last moments. Atlantis is probably the most famous attraction in The Bahamas, and definitely the most kid-friendly. As well as being a mega-resort, Atlantis offers day visits for cruisers, so you can take the kids to explore the Aquaventure Water Park and the beach. Carnival offers a number of Atlantis shore excursion options of different lengths.
But what has happened since the video has turned Robbins’ last moments from a distressing mishap to a perfect example of how social media turns tragedies into entertainment — all in the search for something deeper. Since May 25, TikToks using the hashtag #CameronRobbins have been viewed over 132 million times. Some suggest that rather than drowning, Robbins was attacked by sharks, offering evidence in the form of slowed-down and poorly enhanced clips.
He has been missing since he jumped overboard on April 4 in front of his brother and father on the cruise to Cuba and the Bahamas. According to a CLIA report, only 28.2% of passengers who fell overboard between 2009 and 2019 were successfully rescued. Deborah Morrison, another passenger on board the cruise, told the Post that "there was a lot of yelling and that the crew was alerted immediately." Most of the 4,000 passengers aboard reportedly weren’t alerted to the incident until later that morning, when the ship’s captain made an announcement while many ate breakfast. In a statement, Royal Caribbean said it immediately halted the ship and dispatched boats to search for Parker, but had no luck.
A woman whose son was friends with Robbins and on the boat at the time told Fox News Digital that several students tried to grab Robbins before he took the plunge, but he broke free. While not confirmed by the United States Coast Guard press release, Royal Bahamas Defence Force Commodore Raymond King spoke to the media during the days of the search about the possibility of a shark attack. In the video, other guests upon the cruise ship can be heard swearing and eventually panicking as the footage allegedly shows Robbins getting pulled underneath the water. Robbins social media pages highlight his baseball talent, and his love for his friends, and family. The US Coast Guard and multiple agencies searched the water for days looking for the missing young man.

Going overboard on a cruise is a rare occurrence, according to experts.
Cruisers can get there by taxi (approximately $20) or by the #10 bus ($1.25 per person). Car – Renting a car is not recommended for cruise passengers because of the limited time you have in Nassau. Car rentals are quite expensive (over $100/day) and you’ll be driving on the left hand side of the road.
