Coast Guard officials announced the man was discovered early Tuesday morning and examined by doctors onboard the Carnival ship. The medical team determined he needed additional help and the Coast Guard arrived to airlift him to a local hospital.
The man was transported to University Medical Center in New Orleans where he arrived in critical condition. The Carnival Valor was around 65 nautical miles from Louisiana when the incident occurred.
The vessel was on a five-day voyage from New Orleans to Mexico, with the ship continuing to Cozumel Wednesday morning. The Carnival Valor is set to return to Louisiana on Friday.
