BrooklynMarc2018 Posted May 19, 2019 #177 Share Posted May 19, 2019 And she’s already back. This is why I never take my 1,139 foot cruise ship into the city. Way too hard to find parking. 🤷♂️ 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Turtles06 Posted May 19, 2019 #179 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I imagine some folks on the shore who have no idea what's going on are wondering why Anthem has been sailing up and down the harbor. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken at the beach Posted May 19, 2019 #182 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I wonder if anyone local to the port could call Royal today and get a cheap last minute three day cruise with all the cancellations they have had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeKl Posted May 19, 2019 #185 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I’m on board Summit now waiting to disembark, they said they are a bit ahead of schedule so hopefully that is good news for all waiting to board both ships 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this mean rough seas for the 5/23 sailing? I'm so worried this is going to turn into something. However, if I'm reading it correctly, it looks like it will be dissipated by Thursday?

Obviously I don't know anything about this particular issue, but in general, would cruise lines ever consider a medical evac instead of cruising to port? In this particular case, could Anthem have decided to call a in a helicopter to deal with the emergency? Over the years Cruising have seen Dozens Medical Emegencies. One cruise alone we had 3. We have had speed up to next port, went back to port, changed port. Had Pilot boat come out. Rare to have Helo come out, added danger and distance. Multiple times I witnessed that hey lowered a basket as ships still moving, didnt use the landing pad on ships that had them. Helo left and Family unfortunately left behind in every case I witnessed... Edited May 19, 2019 by ONECRUISER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeKl Posted May 19, 2019 #191 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Several years ago I was on NCL Breakaway returning from Bermuda and there was a medical evacuation via Helicopter as it was the quickest way to get help for the passenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIRELT5 Posted May 19, 2019 #196 Share Posted May 19, 2019 The Anthem is Anchored off of Bayridge Brooklyn in the Bayridge Anchorage with the pilot onboard. The pilot stated that the Anthem is scheduled to return to CL at 500pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dslucas Posted May 19, 2019 #197 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Weird to see Anthem anchored where it is! as an aside - is it required we print the luggage tags at home or can they do it at the terminal/porter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, helicopter evacs do happen and they are done by the Coast Guard...assuming the ship is within range. But helicopter evacs involve risk (to both the chopper and the vessel) and are stressful for the sick/injured patient. That kind of evacuation is generally done as a last resort in cases where it is not possible or practical to make a port in a reasonably amount of time. Over our 40+ years of extensive cruising we have seen many evacs (including a few helicopter operations), but the norm is to head for the nearest port. While evacs are stressful to most on the ship it is really nice to know that the priority is the safety and well being of the passengers/crew.
