Rare sunviking90 Posted May 29 #76 Share Posted May 29 (edited) The posts about the “alleged” stabbing and fight said there was an evacuation off of the coast of Oregon. The other poster on the cruise who felt Princess should have done more was an evac to a Victoria, BC hospital and unrelated. I am pretty sure if one was a victim of an assault on a Princess ship procedures hey would get more care/follow up than the usual medical/injury evacuation.

It's necessary PR to have extra TLC for a crime victim. That said: if medivac off because of illness or injury not caused by another then its appropriate to get the person to the appropriate transportation to the correct medical facility. @RV Queen hope he has a full & complete recovery. RV Queen did not say her husband was stabbed, only that he was evacuated The question of a stabbing seems more rumor than fact at this point.. Considering that there is no confirmation from any news source by now makes it seems even less of a possibility. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCL Responsibility IMHO: If ill : responsibility ends once moved to medical transport If stabbed : responsibility continues thru hospitalization My opinion hasn't changed. RV Queens spouse is one or the other and I've always thought that Canadian medical care was excellent. Edited May 29 by Ombud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teechur Posted May 29 #79 Share Posted May 29 The stabbing rumor is sounding more and more unlikely as time passes. Someone would have likely spilled the story by now if there was a stabbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except there does not appear to have been a stabbing and it was a normal.medical evacuation with the patient successfully transfered. In such a case the cruise line does not book flights or hotel, though the port agent in some cases might recommend a hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisinsince75 Posted May 29 #85 Share Posted May 29 It is a scary thing when a loved one has to be transported off the ship and to a hospital. I can't imagine being airlifted. We were fortunate that we were in port at anchor in Port Vendres, France when they brought paramedics onboard to attend to my wife who was suffering from congestive heart failure. They took her to a nearby hospital in Perpignan. I gathered up some clothes and our passports and met the port agents at the pier. They took me to the hospital to be with her. She was stable by the time they got her to the hospital. The agents stayed with me until she was checked in and made hotel arrangements for me. Then drove me to the hotel to get checked in and back to the hospital. They even called me the next day to check on her. I guess the same doesn't happen if you are not in port, but you would think that the cruise-line would have systems and procedures in place to offer assistance, 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrak Posted June 1 #89 Share Posted June 1 We always have Medjet. If we are hospitalized anywhere in the world they will fly us back home to our local hospital. It not only covers us when we sail but also when we do our multi-week camping trips in the US. It's cheap insurance against what could otherwise be a disaster. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it's amusing to make jokes about Carnival, it's beyond naive to think a cruiseline will take care of you in an emergency. You hope to be given adequate medical care on the ship and a safe evacuation if necessary. I'm sure some ships do, some don't ... but a pax certainly cannot count on it. Nobody should be travelling anywhere without personal insurance to take care of emergencies of every kind. Same concept as travelling with one credit card that is maxed out halfway through your trip. We have to take responsibility for ourselves in this cold, cruel world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted June 2 #92 Share Posted June 2 Since it looks like there may not have been a stabbing and the posts have gone way off the Crown, I'm going to go ahead and lock the thread. 6 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
