Port Everglades officials say, a crew member of Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas threatened to jump off the ship Saturday morning.
According to police, an adult male in his late 30's began threatening to jump from the railing of the cruise ship around 10 a.m.
Broward Sheriff's Office hostage negotiators communicated with the man for several hours and were able to get close enough to prevent the man from jumping.
The man has been transported to Broward Health Medical Center.
The Oasis of the Sea is scheduled to depart Port Everglades on a 5-day cruise at 5 p.m.
