The Carnival Magic ship departed from Norfolk, Virginia, on Thursday and returned to Norfolk on Tuesday, WTKR reported. Peale, from New Hope, Virginia, was on his first cruise and was celebrating Blosser's birthday with her family, Linda Peale said. Coast Guard officers who later saved him, aviation survival technician Richard Hoefle, told CBS News he believes Grimes "had about 30 seconds to a minute left before we would have lost him." The 28-year-old from Lafayette, Alabama, was with 18 relatives on a Carnival cruise to Cozumel, Mexico, when somehow, he ended up overboard after a day of fun. Coast Guard crews are working with members of the Mexican navy to find the woman, who appeared to be in her 20s.
The man was reported missing by his travel companion late Sunday afternoon after he was not seen all day.

The CDC said in a statement Tuesday that the agency is committed to working with the cruise industry to resume sailing by staying the course of a phased approach, following the steps outlined in its order.

"We are beyond grateful that this case ended with a positive outcome," said Lt. Seth Gross, a Sector New Orleans search and rescue mission coordinator.
