A search and rescue effort is underway after a woman fell overboard from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship.

The 66-year-old woman fell overboard from the Allure of the Seas around 9:40 p.m. Tuesday 17 miles north of Nassau, Bahamas, the US Coast Guard said in a statement to FOX Business. The federal agency is assisting the lead agency, the Royal Bahamas Defense Force.

The ship left Miami on Monday, cruise tracking website CruiseMapper shows. Her current 4-day itinerary stopped in Nassau on Tuesday and docked at Coco Cay on Wednesday.

The ship is full of “Swifties” on a Taylor Swift-themed cruise, TMZ reports.

The outlet says the cruisers paid $1,573 for double rooms and were going to get bags with Swift-themed items. The artist presented two performances in Miami over the weekend.

The Coast Guard has used “an HC-144 aircrew and an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew, both from Air Force Station Miami to assist with the search.”
