The man\u2019s sister reported him missing after he had not returned to his room after leaving to go to the bathroom at around 11 p.m. Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n<p>Rescue crews had to be on the lookout for a search area about the size of Massachusetts since the ship had gone 200 miles since the man had last been seen.<\/p>\n<p>After being spotted in the water by a cargo ship, a Coast Guard Air Station New Orleans MH-60 Jayhawk aircrew <a href=\"https:\/\/content.govdelivery.com\/accounts\/USDHSCG\/bulletins\/339cd16\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pulled<\/a> the man out of the water and brought him to an emergency medical care unit in New Orleans. He was lifted out of the water at about 8:25 p.m. Thursday, after spending hours in the water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are beyond grateful that this case ended with a positive outcome,\u201d Gross said. \u201cIt took a total team effort from Coast Guard watchstanders, response crews, and our professional maritime partners operating in the Gulf of Mexico to locate the missing individual and get him to safety. If not for the alert crew aboard the motor vessel Crinis, this case could have had a much more difficult ending.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Coast Guard Heartland shared footage on Twitter of the rescue.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Footage from the rescue of the cruise ship passenger last night.
