“He was on the ship for vacation,” Savannah said. “And he’s “known for being a kind, reserved, humble kid. Always cool, calm, and collected.”
His pals aboard the Wonder of the Seas are “grieving,” she said.
“The ship’s crew immediately launched a search and rescue operation and is working closely with local authorities,” a spokesperson for Royal Caribbean previously said.
The rep also said the cruise line had been working with the US Coast Guard. However, the Coast Guard said it was not involved in the case. And that the Cuban Border Guard is responsible for coordinating the operation because the incident happened in Cuban territorial seas.
According to his family, there is still no sign of him.
“We were told by the Cuban officials that they are done searching in the ocean. They are continuing only on the coast and land. I have a strong feeling they’re going to end this search,” Savannah claims.
She says her family has been “praying hourly day and night” for Sigmund to be found.
“We are very hopeful if they open [the] search back in the ocean,” Savannah said. “We need them to open it again.”
