Summary
An 84-year-old Carnival guest was pulled from the water after falling off a pier on May 19 while returning to Carnival Jubilee in Costa Maya, Mexico.
Video shared online showed passenger Myron kicking off his shoes and jumping in after spotting the man struggling face down near the ship.
Myron reached him, lifted him onto his shoulder and kept him afloat until Carnival's security team recovered both men, according to his wife Amy.
Carnival said the guest was taken to the ship's medical center for care and later debarked in Galveston at the end of the cruise.
Social media users praised Myron's quick response, and the couple later received onboard recognition including commemorative pins, a complimentary dinner and a thank-you note.
