Pink-belle Posted August 27, 2021 #4 Share Posted August 27, 2021 3 hours ago, NSWP said: Covid ? UK covid new cases are near 40,000 per day. You really think that? Highly unlikely in my opinion, all passengers are fully vaccinated, and tested for Covid before boarding. As it’s a 4 night cruise I don’t believe the passenger could develop the virus to such an extent they require urgent medical attention within the time frame. whatever their ailment I hope they are getting the treatment they need and are now feeling much better. Personally I don’t like these type of videos and seeing it uploaded by a staff member When the cruise is still underway is particularly distasteful, could cause worry and distress to those who know people onboard. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon stingray Posted August 27, 2021 #6 Share Posted August 27, 2021 We’re onboard Regal right now and the captain made announcements yesterday regarding this evacuation. Guests in certain aft cabins were asked to vacate their cabins for safety reasons and and many guests went up on deck to watch the evacuation but were not allowed on the aft decks. The captain didn’t disclose the nature of the illness the passenger was suffering with but as there are a high number of elderly passengers onboard it really could be anything. I also would have thought if it was COVID related then there would have been additional announcements regarding anyone experiencing COVID symptoms to contact the medical centre, which there hadn’t been. The crew have all been absolutely great as has the food and entertainment, particularly the piano entertainer in Crooners. We only wish the weather was warmer as we find it too cool & windy to sit on deck or use the pools (although many passengers are braving it each day). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but the public likes the drama in the news. Two years ago, my house burned down in a California wildfire and CNN set up a camera right in front of it to broadcast it burning. Lots of ghouls in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also just a further update for anyone who is interested, we briefly chatted to a lady onboard and she happened to be the daughter of the lady who was evacuated off the ship. She stated that her mother had became very confused and the Doctor suspected sepsis and after arriving at hospital she was responding well to treatment. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted August 29, 2021 #11 Share Posted August 29, 2021 In the video it looked like a crew member being taken aboard the helicopter. White dress and white shoes. Not the usual attire of a passenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropThePuck Posted August 29, 2021 #12 Share Posted August 29, 2021 We had to vacate our cabin. It was all handled very professionally. The staff are an absolute credit to the company. AJ was fantastic at the piano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Coral Posted August 29, 2021 #15 Share Posted August 29, 2021 The times where I have been on a ship with a medical evacuation - the Captain has informed us that it was "not to be filmed or photographed" and there would be consequences for doing so. I think this is out of respect for the patient. I will not watch the video because of that. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who do this are just looking for sensationalism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
