It's a medivac jet that will transfer to Fort Lauderdale. Several reasons for the helicopter. Moving a patient from the ship into a helicopter at sea is always the absolute last resort. They would need Coast Guard or equivelent support. If they feel the patient is safer onboard than they would be at a facility on land, they will keep the patient on board until they can get them transferred to their end desintation. They will either briefly dock or if it's safe enough, use a tender to transfer the patient from ship to land to air transport. That makes much more sense. GT may have been the nearest port for Edge with facilities to handle the jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee & Chilli Posted August 6, 2021 Author #229 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Day 7 - sea day It’s been difficult to post on cc. I’m not certain if problems are with cc or Celebrity wifi. I type messages and they do not appear. Captain Kate did not hold the Q&A and she did not attend the cat trivia. A member of the activities staff did a great job. After the announcement that we arrive at 5 pm tomorrow, celebrity gave passengers wifi access to change their flights. I noticed in the app some activities are posted for tomorrow. A highlight from this afternoon was the yummy shrimp risotto in the Oceanview cafe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the 8/7 roll call: "Celebrity Edge will arrive into Port Everglades at approximately 5:00 PM tomorrow. We will dock at Terminal 18 instead of Terminal 25 as previously scheduled. Later this evening, we will be able to provide adjusted check-in and arrival times to the terminal for all guests." 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, what kind of activities? Only real downer for many is that while you won't get charged an airline change fee, odds are booking a flight last minute will be more expensive than the original flight.

39august Posted August 6, 2021 #233 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I see no reason for testing prior to debarkation, unless the passenger is from a country other than the US. Why in the heck are they doing that? And how, or will, this impact the late arrival? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare hcat Posted August 6, 2021 #237 Share Posted August 6, 2021 This is why we stay an extra night at the port. Less stress. One more vacation day and able to make an early flight out the next day, Hope the med vac passenger does well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the idea is to save money, Vlogger Tony said it was $38 for an uber from the port to Miami, that was at 9am-ish but I'd imagine it would be cheaper than a taxi which would probably be close to $100. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
