Crew members claimed that they spotted a man in a restricted area of the ship's bow, but he had disappeared by the time they approached the area.
Concerned that the man fell overboard, the crew woke up the nearly 2400 passengers and employees on board to conduct a head count to determine if anyone was missing.

From our...another bad idea from the movie "Titanic" file... a 20-year old passenger was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard after falling overboard from a location near the bow of Royal Caribbean's Nordic Empress. According to Coast Guard officials the passenger, Erick Angel of Phoenix was rescued by helicopter early in the morning last Saturday about 12 miles northwest of St. Thomas. At the time of the rescue it was estimated that he had spent more than two hours in the water.
Exactly how he fell overboard was not clear, but some crew members said that they had spotted a man in the restricted area near the ship's bow around 3:00 am. When they could not find anyone in the area they sounded the alarm and began waking up the 2,400 passengers to determine if anyone was missing. The search was initiated as soon as it became clear that a passenger was missing. Mr. Angel suffered minor injuries as a result of his fall.
Usha, you said exactly what I was thinking. 20 year old man at 3am - he must have been trollied!!!
Silly boy - hope he wont do that again in a hurry. Thats if he is allowed back on a ship again. What a waste of resources, time and money!!!

1. They were doing something potentially dangerous, like sitting on the rail
2. Or they jumped
I will await the evidence, as to why they would do either of the above.
