A Royal Caribbean cruise passenger attempted an escape from authorities in Puerto Rico by jumping overboard, in what investigators say was an attempt to avoid reporting cash and paying gambling debts of over $16,000 incurred onboard.
On September 7, 2025, the Rhapsody of the Seas returned to the Port of San Juan from a Caribbean voyage. As US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) carried out routine checks around 9:15 a.m. local time, passenger Jey Gonzalez-Diaz reportedly jumped overboard.
