A Carnival Cruise Line spokesperson told Fox News Digital that McGrath's cabinmate last saw him at 7:00 a.m., which is around the time that debarkation was beginning.

       After an "extensive" search of the ship by cruise employees, McGrath wasn't found.

       A Coast Guard spokesperson told Fox News Digital that their search has been suspended.

       McGrath wasn't detected by the ship's surveillance systems and wasn't seen by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol during the cruise's debarkation process.

       Angel Rodriguez, a detective with the Miami-Dade Police Department told Fox News Digital that McGrath was supposed to meet the family for breakfast before leaving the cruise but never arrived.

       The detective also said that the ship’s cameras and security devices didn't indicate he went overboard.

       The 26-year-old was on a two-night cruise to Bimini, Bahamas.

       Danielle McGrath, his sister, told WPBF "It is definitely not like my brother to just up and go missing."
