Thank you for asking. I heard the call too around 3:25am. I was so concerned I had trouble sleeping afterward. No one else in my extended group heard the call. I just couldn't imagine what happened to someone and it really freaked me out. I thought we were so close to port that it seemed they could get help from the coast guard if it was that much of an emergency. We were in the port by 4:40 so only about an hour away.

 

I just hope whoever was in need got some O negative blood and are doing okay.

My wife and I heard the call on the Freedom. I wasn't sleeping well that night anyway and when the PA chimed I thought it was odd. My wife has O neg blood and went down to see if she would be needed. There were already several people down at the MED area. They took the first few certified blood donors and noted a few other passengers room numbers just in case. As far as my wife could tell it was a passenger from Michigan. She said one of the family members came out and said thank you for helping. I did see them stretcher some one off right after we arrived in port. I hope she is OK.
