jealdaka Posted October 28, 2006 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2006 A friend was on Jewel on the Oct 7th sailing and said that one of the officers had to be airlifted off. Does anyone know about this and if he is okay? She said it was very serious and that the medics couldn't land but had to use the thing they drop down on a pulley. We do hope it turned out well for the gentleman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ribarfly Posted October 28, 2006 #2 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I can't respond about the condition of the officer that was airlifted, but we have cruised on many RCL ships, it is standard operating procedure to airlift rather than land on the ship due to saftey reasons. The risk of a crash and the uncontrollable fire it would cause is the reason for airlifts only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlcentralchmps03 Posted October 28, 2006 #3 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Have not heard or read anything about this. Hope all turns out well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACCagent Posted October 29, 2006 #4 Share Posted October 29, 2006 A client on that sailing told us about the same thing but he had no more information than you do. We were on the following sailing and they had to get back to Boston as quickly as possible because a lady had fallen and needed attention. We arrived in port about 2am and they met her with an ambulance. I'm sure she was glad of that and no need for an airlift! Best wishes to both of them.
