"His dad was fussing at him for being drunk, I guess," fellow passenger Bryan Sims said.I suspect there will be lawyers getting involved in this.
"When we got to them, he said to his dad, 'I'll fix this right now.' And he jumped out the window in front of us all."
It remains unclear how Levion could have been drunk, considering that the minimum age for alcohol consumption on Royal Caribbean ships during sailings originating in North America or the Caribbean is 21.
Drunk or sober, perhaps he had "problems" with his father.

Having a relative who worked security on a cruise ship in the recent past, I can tell you that it’s basically impossible to get away with ‘conventional’ underage drinking on an American-based cruise ship. For starters, your ship pass won’t work at the bars if you’re under 21 and your age is based on your passport, so no hope there. Perhaps someone can slip you drinks, but not as easy as it sounds as there are cameras everywhere (often there are groups with some people 21+ and others under 21).
HOWEVER, smuggling alcohol on board is not difficult (at worst, you lose the booze - very rarely are people prevented from boarding), and even easier is simply getting drunk at a Mexican (or Caribbean) bar.
