I e never seen a medical so wouldn’t know protocol. Do they announce it’s happening and tell you to remain in cabin? hope the person is okay 🙏🏻 Just those that have cabins on the port side this time, which is presumably the side the helicopter will approach from. Stay off the balcony and keep the balcony door closed. Plus, of course, no-one is allowed on the upper open decks. It makes sense. If the worst happened and the chopper crashed they don't want passengers getting injured. Luckily the weather has improved. It's been cloudy and rainy most of the day but it's cleared up just in time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t need to be dated or timed? (unlike Carnival Aust - there in no mention of date/time that I can see in the t&cs for Princess Aust). So just a photo of the negative RATS taken on the phone is sufficient? Thanks. Ok I found what I’d read in the medallion app. Screenshot attached Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then another advising the helicopter was on it's way, crew to flying stations, passengers on the port side stay off the balconies. We should get another announcement once the medi-vac is complete.

Do they announce it’s happening and tell you to remain in cabin? hope the person is okay 🙏🏻 We have had a couple, with one landing on the helipad on Radiance of the Seas. Anyone on the open decks is rounded up, and directed inside, then they block access. They will usually announce at least one side of the ship to stay off their balconies for safety reasons. Not every day a ship heads in towards Rockhampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising in 9 days, and not yet advised. Perhaps two differences to our upcoming 3 night cruise: The length of the cruise The cruise goes to a foreign port, specifically PNG.

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted September 29, 2022 Author #541 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Medics have boarded and are prepping the patient for transfer to the helicopter in a few minutes. It's circling the ship at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted September 29, 2022 Author #542 Share Posted September 29, 2022 The medi-vac has been completed successfully so we're resuming our course to Airlie Beach. No word on how the patient is faring. I hope they do OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted September 29, 2022 Author #545 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Either there aren't many Elite passengers currently onboard or Coral has an exceptionally efficient laundry. We left a bag of laundry to be done on our bed last night. The clean laundry came back around 5:30pm today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
