Upon finding the boy crew workers started performing CPR and directed the ship to return to the New York Harbor. The boy was later transported to the Staten Island University Hospital where he remains in stable condition. It remains unclear how the swimming pool accident happened.

In December 2015 there was a fatal drowning accident of an 8-year-old boy as the ship was making its way to central America.
