No mention of ship in the article, plus I don't think that it's Oasis as she does not do 5 day cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmy Posted March 12, 2016 #10 Share Posted March 12, 2016 It does appear this event delayed disembarkation. My friend left the ship at 10:15 am but she likes to be the last off the ship She said about 9:45 am this morning the Captains voice came over to announce the Oscar. She did see many police cars and the crew member was on the last lifeboat on the starboard side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mszmek Posted March 12, 2016 #11 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I hope everything is ok! I noticed on the webcam they have the view focused on Oasis and they have the sound turned off, I'm guessing this might be why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mermaid-ooxx Posted March 12, 2016 #12 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I hope everything is ok! I noticed on the webcam they have the view focused on Oasis and they have the sound turned off, I'm guessing this might be why? The sound on the webcam was on until 9:00(PST), and when I came back an hour later it was off. Up until I left you could hear communication between the ship and port officials. They never mentioned the name of the ship in any communications. At 9:00(ish) the hostage negotiator was at the ship trying to talk to the crew member.

QueenofKrakatoa Posted March 12, 2016 #13 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I hope that the crew member is okay and that he gets adequate health care for his illness, and not continue to have it left unchecked. Poor guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adjjb12 Posted March 12, 2016 #16 Share Posted March 12, 2016 The crew member has been safely transported to the hospital. They were able to prevent the suicide. http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/Oasis-of-the-Sea-Crew-Member-Threatened-to-Jump-Off-Ship-371880572.html 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moopetguy Posted March 12, 2016 #17 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Unfortunate situation but glad to hear it concluded without loss of life. Royal Caribbean sure seems to be in the news a lot lately -- and often hasn't been good publicity, either (obviously not always something they had direct control over, such as the gentleman aboard Navigator and this most recent incident, but in the news nonetheless). I wonder if this has affected the public's perecption of RCI. Their stock price has certainly tumbled by a very significant percentage since the start of 2016.

Lakesregion Posted March 12, 2016 #18 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Quite the month for RCL. Two times for the Anthem to turn around for shortened cruises. Then someone falls of a ship and now an attempted suicide by a crew member. Sailing on RCL is better than reality TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herdfans4 Posted March 12, 2016 #19 Share Posted March 12, 2016 We leave on oasis this Thursday for a 9 night cruise so I know they are doing 5 night today. Sorry to hear another story of RCL in the news but this situation could happen to any company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmntx Posted March 12, 2016 #20 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Does anyone know if sailaway time has been delayed? Or what time it's happening today? I have a friend and her group of 8 people that are on their way but have been delayed due to airline issue. She just landed in Ft Lauderdale about 3:40 and Royal Caribbean told them they had to be there by 4pm. Hoping they make it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenderlou Posted March 12, 2016 Author #21 Share Posted March 12, 2016 We are locals and had lunch close to the port. Heard the ship horn so I assume they sailed on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Port Schedule Oasis is showing as departing at 5 pm a half hour later than her usual 4:30 pm Could be because it is a charter sailing https://pevvesseltraffic.broward.org/webclient/public/publicmovements.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
