Carnell, who said her daughter had been looking forward to the cruise, told the outlet Taime had called her on March 3 to deliver the news. TMZ reports Kimberly’s body remains missing.
Following the incident, Royal Caribbean spokesperson told TMZ, “Our crew immediately launched a search and rescue effort, is working with local authorities, and we are providing support and assistance to the guest’s family during this difficult time. To respect the privacy of our guest’s family, we have no additional details to share.”

Kimberly, meanwhile, spoke to their enduring bond.
“From your first hello to me I fell head over heels in love,” she captioned her Feb. 14 post. “You are my Valentine every day of my life. We are a tornado at times and pure raw love. I wouldn’t have it any other way. We do us like no other. I love you with my entire heart and soul.”
