"Sierra Team" wake up call onboard this morning

[Ykgorbie]

Sitting at the Fort Lauderdale airport waiting for our flight. We just got off of the Miracle and at 5:30am we were awoken by a very loud in-cabin message that said "Sierra Team to cabin #6_ _ _". About 8 minutes later the same message blared again. Anyone know what that code means? Hope everyone is ok....

I think its too bad they announce the cabin-- people then go and look

Awww, do hope the people/person from that cabin is ok. I was surprised that the message was blared inside our cabin though. Wow, gonna be a very long day.

Very sad way to end a vacation. My brother's a Paramedic and whenever he'd get those early morning calls, it usually meant someone passed during the night and their spouse just woke up and realized what happened. Hopefully that wasn't the case on your ship...maybe it was something happy, like a baby being born!

I think though unless they could send the info out on pagers, it would slow down the response if no cabin # given.

Recently here someone told me Bright Star meant medical emergency. Just curious as to what is what.

I used to think Bright Star was fall/man overboard, but last week on Pride they used that call with a specific cabin number, so maybe they've changed it up a bit.

For better or worse life happens on cruises.

We had Brightstar over the Public Address. Our steward told us that it was indeed a medical emergency...we saw the ambulance at the dock that morning and heard later the person died.

Bravo Bravo is for a person overboard we were told.

Just announcing "Sierra Team, Sierra Team" without a cabin number would be a little vague.

Why would they announce it IN the passenger cabins? I can understand announcing it in all crew areas. But, what is the likelihood that members of the medical response crew are in the passenger cabins at 5:30am??
