The woman was cut off so clearly inebriated and fell up or down the stairs breaking her orbital bone. Pretty early in the day for that… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After breakfast we went out and my kids played on the playscape, and this was around 11am. Definitely was not closed then. I wonder if there was more than one incident today although I only heard the alpha call once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not too sure, the announcement was shortly after they witnessed the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had to be so bad the life the patient was at risk other wise they wouldn't have spent thousands if not millions of dollars on this diversion.

Someone above mentioned which bone, sounded like the eye bone that needed operating on. I'd have wanted to come back to florida for rhe operation, guess it couldnt wait. Yep a lot will miss their flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People waiting, no matter what emails/texts they send out, is inevitable. Folks flying in have no where to go other than the port. And folks flying in a day before have to vacate hotels by noon need to go somewhere. With the ship's arrival around 4 pm, boarding won't start for another 4ish hours. It will be very ugly in the terminal. Bring food and drink, and find a comfortable spot to camp out... for hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason to purchase the extra medical rider on your travel insurance which covers your return to your hospital of choice vs the nearest appropriate US port. No — I am not an insurance agent. I was an admissions RN for a well-known rehabilitation hospital in NJ and learned just how much it costs to medical-evacuate someone from a far-away state back to your home.

sharktums Posted November 26, 2022 Author #43 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Patient and family are in ambulance and they are pulling the dock up now. Hoping for an update in the next hour or so. For those of you talking in the thread about rumors, the current talk near me is that it was a man in his 60’s who suffered a heart attack or stroke near windjammer this morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrapps Posted November 26, 2022 #50 Share Posted November 26, 2022 The exactly who and how of the injury will likely just be rumor and conjecture. At this point the important thing is waiting for the captain to announce estimated time back to Port Canaveral and how that affects both those of us on the cruise now and those of you looking to board on Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
