jetskier Posted November 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2014 She is outside the approach to the South West Pass. Usually it is around 8-9pm when she is at that position. http://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9378474 Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittybork Posted November 22, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 22, 2014 We wondered if the weather would slow the Dream's port arrival. Maybe the captain decided to be proactive and get into the river early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetskier Posted November 22, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted November 22, 2014 She just entered the Pass about 10 minutes ago. That should put her at the pier in NOLA at around midnight. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjosh7 Posted November 22, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Have a friend onboard who says they have a passenger who needs immediate medical attention, to be met by coast guard. Ship will dock at midnight but no debarkation until normal time due to customs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misguidedangel Posted November 23, 2014 #16 Share Posted November 23, 2014 It is possible they have a medical emergency and need to debark a passenger ASAP. It happened when I was on the Dream in September. We were on the last sea day and at lunch they made an announcement that we'd be getting back to NOLa early as we needed to rendezvous with the Coast Guard to get a passenger off....we were docked and tied up by midnight....felt odd not having a moving ship while we slept...

Lars2014 Posted November 23, 2014 #17 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) My granddaughter emailed me and said the patient was walking and talking and in a plastic suit when he was with the Coast Guard. They closed the infirmary. I wonder if it was Noro Edited November 23, 2014 by Lars2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx_sweetpea Posted November 23, 2014 #18 Share Posted November 23, 2014 No. It's not Noro. Thanks for all prayers. He has made it to the hospital. Now praying for the doctors to work a miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnHall1965 Posted November 23, 2014 #20 Share Posted November 23, 2014 In 2006 we were about 3 hundred miles south of Cuba on the second night of our cruise and our friends father had a massive HA during the first formal night and they turned the ship around so the coast guard chopper cut meet its fuel capacity to lift him off and fly him back to Miami , he fully recovered and the hospital credits the ships medical staff for doing all the right things to save his life. That also taught me to always buy trip insurance with medical transport coverage cause that chopper ride was 33K. Best of luck to your Father in Law !

Msbabynurse Posted November 23, 2014 #25 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I was onboard and watched in awe as they safely transferred the ill person into the coast guard boat. Everyone was cheering and clapping. I salute the medical team onboard for keeping this patient safe and stable until they could get him to a higher level of care. Awesome job!
