Desert Diamond Posted February 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2023 We’re on the beach north of Ft. Lauderdale and watching the Disney Wish on her way into port here. Anyone know if there’s a maintenance or medical issue? Hope everyone’s ok 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope everyone’s ok 🤞 We live on the beach a mile or so up from the port entrance and my wife saw her again minutes ago. The second time of late. They are returning from a 1/30/2023-2/2/2023 cruise back to Port Canaveral so, as last time, it is likely a medical emergency for the stop at Port Everglades. The last recent one, I believe, was a crew member. https://www.portevergladeswebcam.com/ She should be appearing soon on the PTZ webcam.

Rare At Sea At Peace Posted February 2, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Yep, the webcam operator has taken over manual control to focus on the Disney Wish. https://www.portevergladeswebcam.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare At Sea At Peace Posted February 2, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Too bad they can't get off, because the NHL All-Star game is nearby, the FLL beach is the site of the NHL/Truly Hard Selzer/Honda festivities starting today though Saturday.

Chateau7 Posted February 5, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I was seeking pictures of us pulling into port and found this thread. There was an announcement the night prior “Brightstar room 7***” meaning a medical emergency in that stateroom. Captain Andy announced on 2/2 that we were changing direction, picking up a local harbor pilot, then heading in to disembark one of our passengers. Those watching from deck saw a passenger on a stretcher (sitting up) with heart monitor wires visible (a mid-20’s age estimate!) The rest of us enjoyed seeing Port Everglades, it was a beautiful ride past all the tall buildings and beautiful houses. Many locals came out to wave, and we waved back! Hoping for a full recovery for that passenger and the many that had intestinal issues on this voyage! There were dozens of reports of vomiting and diarrhea. It was great weather and smooth sailing on the voyage otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great weather and smooth sailing on the voyage otherwise. As always, hope all is well with the passenger. Not good to hear about the stomach issues (was it reported as Noro?). Hate that on a cruise more than anything. It's nice to see the Disney ships when they come in. They're just appealing to eye. In Port Everglades we have many new Celebrity and Royal ships that are awesome, but somehow Disney ships have that.... We'll be welcoming Disney (for the first time as a POD), specifically the Dream, to a new redesigned Terminal 4 at Port Everglades this upcoming Fall 2023 on November 20th. Looking forward to seeing her come and go on the short Disney itineraries over the late Fall early Spring season. There's a lot going on for development at the Port, commercial cargo, cruise terminals, conference center, parking, etc., an increasing # of ships and passenger counts, assisted by an airport literally right next door and hotels aplenty. In a lot of ways more accessible than PC or POM. From the City meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
