cruisin'girl Posted April 1, 2011 #4 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I am not sure I would call it fun. There obviously is something wrong for them to do this. Maybe a sick passenger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisin'girl Posted April 1, 2011 #6 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Exactly. They don't return to port for nothing or for the fun of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Traveler Posted April 1, 2011 #7 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Thanks for the update. If you find out anything more, let us know. I was also curious after watching it turn around and come back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graymadeb Posted April 1, 2011 #8 Share Posted April 1, 2011 They were sitting out of port for a bit - like they were waiting for the other two ships to get out. You could see them in the distance as the other ships were leaving. Highlight of my day - watching these ships leave each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted April 1, 2011 #11 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Sorry if we learn there is a sick person returned to port. I am quite sure no one actually thought I would find that fun and probably knew what I meant. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted April 1, 2011 #16 Share Posted April 1, 2011 sad to think that they had to turn the ship around and someone is ill -- well maybe it is better for the ill passenger to be helped now rather than be out to sea prayers for that person if that is the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted April 1, 2011 #17 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Do we know that is why Westerdam returned? Does someone have information it was for a medical debark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiserBruce Posted April 2, 2011 #19 Share Posted April 2, 2011 According to this thread, involving someone on the Westerdam, a medical emergency. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1390420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heeb Posted April 2, 2011 #20 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I found out from David at Port Fever that it was a medical emergency for sure. Did not know if it was male or female and their condition. Prey they are alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapper1 Posted April 2, 2011 #21 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Well, that certainly clears up a little confusion for us. We had watched the Statendam, Westerdam and a Celebrity ship leave from our hotel room window and then, later, as we were having a little walk down by the water taxi stop under the 17th Street bridge we saw a mystery Vista class ship leave. I could have sworn there were only two HAL ships in port so I was wondering where it could have been hiding all day. As soon as I saw the title to this thread I knew the answer.

mamaofami Posted April 2, 2011 #22 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I certainly hope whoever had the emergency will be OK. Way better to be evacuated as the ship is leaving port than out to sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sad to hear someone had a medical emergency on the Westerdam. Seeing a ship return to port so soon after it leaves is never a good thing.

mamaofami Posted April 2, 2011 #25 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Sapper, I read your post and was wondering how you could see the ship from your hotel until I saw your signature and realized you are cruising tomorrow. Have a great time.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
