A Carnival Cruise passenger who mysteriously disappeared from the ship during a family vacation was not allowed to sail because he was on probation for assault after his wife said he threatened to kill her and their children, according to a report.
Kevin McGrath, 26, was celebrating his father’s 60th birthday on the Carnival Conquest when he failed to show up for breakfast as the ship departed for the Port of Miami after a Labor Day weekend cruise to the Bahamas.
But the ship’s cameras and marine tracking systems showed no indication that she went overboard and her disappearance has been shrouded in mystery since the Coast Guard called off its search.
It has now emerged that McGrath pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in Tennessee in September 2022 and was sentenced to six years of supervised probation, TMZ reports.
His wife said he threatened to kill her and their children, according to the outlet, which cited legal documents.

McGrath received permission to move from Tennessee to Florida, where he lives with his parents, but his probation officer said he never got the green light to board the cruise, the report said.
The probation office — which apparently only learned he was aboard the Conquest when the media reported on his disappearance — said he also defaulted on $241.20 in probation fees, the outlet said.

His disappearance comes a week after a young college student fell off the world’s largest cruise ship, Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas.
