teddie Posted March 22 #1 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Good morning, On the 3/17/24 Anthem sailing right now. On our way back to Port Liberty this morning, we headed towards PC for a medical emergency evacuation. Pilot vessel zoomed over to the ship. Meanwhile, schools of dolphins and flocks of pelicans visible as we approach the port. I very much hope the passenger will be OK. EDIT: Coast Guard vessel now on starboard side to offload the passenger. Teddie Edited March 22 by teddie 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaveitallbehind Posted March 22 #3 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Never a pleasant experience and certainly hope all is OK with the passenger. Have seen dolphins as well on that return leg in the past. Edited March 22 by leaveitallbehind 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalves Posted March 22 #4 Share Posted March 22 Hope the affected passenger is recovering. Port Canaveral is a haven for dolphins and pelicans. Love sailing from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love sailing from there. We saw two bald eagles in Jan in PC after we boarded Wonder. They flew right past the Solarium while we were sitting there. As for medical evac, I'd rather be in FL than most of the islands for care. Edited March 23 by BND 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's unfortunate that it seems like every time we dock in PC there are a couple of ambulances waiting for us. On one cruise we diverted to PC for a med evac, then on our scheduled port day in PC, we had more med evacs. I guess you could say it's fortunate that they are able to evacuate in the US vs a foreign country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalves Posted March 23 #10 Share Posted March 23 Fortunate that a potentially life threatening condition can be moderated by a med evac. I believe that the other passengers would not begrudge them for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
