Cruise passenger hailed as hero after jumping into water to save 84-year-old man

Carnival Cruise Line confirmed the incident to Fox News Digital, saying an elderly guest fell into the water while returning to the ship.

"He debarked the ship in Galveston at the end of the cruise."

Myron's wife, Amy, said on social media the man was face down in the water when her husband sprang into action.

Myron reached the man and kept him afloat until help arrived, the wife said.

"Without a moment's hesitation, my husband [leaped] into the water," she wrote in a TikTok post describing the rescue.

The rescue also drew praise on social media, with many users applauding Myron's quick actions and willingness to help a stranger.

"The fact that he tried to walk off without any recognition just shows what an amazing human he is, humble and kind," one user wrote.

Others described the cruiser as being in the right place at the right time.

"He's truly a hero," another user added. "Not many people would do what he did!"
