Passenger evacuated from cruise ship

Anyone know which ship this was?

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-11-03/sick-passenger-winched-to-safety-from-cruise-liner/4351584

Looks like they did a great job getting the passenger off.

Hope they will be ok.

An update names the ship as Sea Princess.

As all the round the world sailors know, if you're going to get in trouble at sea and need to be rescued, the best place to have it happen is within reach of the Australian Navy!

How exciting but hope passenger is ok.

We know that part of Princess intermitly (sp)

how luck to be so close to home

B&B ;)

I'm pretty sure Bob and Kay (RMKW) are on board so maybe Bob might give us an update.

I just had an E mail with sad news re this incident.. The people (husband and wife) involved are friends of mine from Batemans Bay.

Unfortunately, the lady evacuated, passed away at the hospital.

The couple had done many cruises around the world.

RIP Y.

(RKMW on CC - Bob and Kay from Cootamundra, whom I know, are on board, we might get something from them on here.)

I am so sorry to hear that. I had hoped that the passenger was OK. It must be very traumatic for all concerned. The Navy did a wonderful job in evacuating her in difficult circumstances by the sound of it; very sad that it turned out the way it has. Sorry to hear as well that you know the people concerned - it is always a shock.

The ABC seems to have the wrong information or is referring to a different passenger as it is reporting (2 hours ago) that the man winched from the ship is in a stable condition.

Very sorry to hear of the loss of your friend.

Les, yes we are onboard but we have not been told anything, i have read it on here

we are still having a good time and arrive in Adelaide tomorrow about 8am, the seas have been ok and not rough

dont know why the news coverage as I have seen this done numerous times

I think the navy is trying to get publicity

but yes hope she is ok

Going by posts on Royal Caribbean's facebook page it looks like it wasn't just the Sea Princess that had a helicopter medical emergency yesterday. Apparently the Voyager also had a similar issue. The Voyager emergency was a broken leg so I am guessing that the ABC have been getting mixed information.

Sadly the lady died, as per the posts above yours.:(

That will explain why the story on the ABC is incorrect - though they seem to have really got it mixed up. Doesn't look good for the country's premier news service.

and I meant to add, it is very sad for all concerned
