kaprin02 Posted November 21, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 21, 2023 The Seaside has been diverted toward Nassau for a guest needing urgent medical evacuation. A US Coast Guard helicopter met the ship and performed the evacuation. There is no information yet on how this will affect the remainder of the itinerary. We are supposed to be on our way to port at Philipsburg, St Maarten on Thursday (sea day today and tomorrow). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser_2100 Posted November 21, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 21, 2023 We are here on the same cruise. If we go back to Nassau for sure we will miss couple of ports…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser_2100 Posted November 21, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Just spoke to front desk. Not going to Nassau, going to the scheduled ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showingdiva Posted November 22, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I hope the person evacuated makes a full recovery. Never an easy decision to medivac, especially involving a helicopter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never an easy decision to medivac, especially involving a helicopter. We're currently on Splendida, we've had 4 passengers requiring a medivac. We had to speed up and adjust our arrival in Oman for one. Diverted to the Seychelles for two of them, by tender not helicopter and one in Mauritius. Hopefully all will be fine for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaprin02 Posted November 22, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted November 22, 2023 The diversion has delayed our arrival into St. Maarten. We are now scheduled to arrive there at 6pm tomorrow - originally was 9am. The ship is supposed to embark something like 3000 people (passengers/crew) in St Maarten, so we are scheduled to depart there at 2am. They have not said how that will affect our arrival to the following port (St. John’s, Antigua). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare puppycanducruise Posted November 22, 2023 #8 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Hope the person who needs to be medivaced will be okay. Thank goodness for the US Coast Guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
