fantasy returning to port?

[Gma&Gpa]

The fantasy left Charleston around 4:30 but it sure looks like she is heading back to port. Anybody know why?

[Seago2]

Where can you see this?

[Gma&Gpa]

We were following on one of the port webcams just because I have a friend on it. It's just the blue ship icon that you can see in the ports. But it went out quite a ways and then I noticed the 'ship' turned and headed back. Looks like its back in the harbor

That's exactly what I'm looking at, too. Hopefully nothing wrong with a passenger and hopefully nothing wrong with the ship as I am on the next cruise.

Nothing on the local news.

Yes, I agree... It returned to port... Hope all is well.... doc

Most times it is a medical emergency

The port cam won't work on my iPad... Hopefully someone will post something. Where are all our CC members with marine radios?

Yes, just happened on Princess last week...

Just pulled up the deck cam and she is back at the cruise terminal.

I have a friend on the ship. She just facebooked me - it was a medical emergency

Ok, thank you, I hope the passenger is ok. I'm surprised how often this happens. You would think that there would be an inkling that someone would be in extremis in a couple of hours, but time and again they head out to sea and return.

it looks like she's on the move again. Showing 1.3 knots.....guess they'll be making up a little time tonight.

I guess so, but time allowances are based on a crawl to save fuel.

[Gma&Gpa]

I thought she was on the move, but she stopped again. So, still setting at the port.

They're very fortunate to be close enough for a return.

 

In July on the Fantasy we had a medical emergency and returned to Freeport where the passenger was brought ashore. We also had a code "bright star" on a different day.

[OCruisers]

Please keep us updated. Hope the ill person is OK.

Wonder why Fantasy has stopped again? :confused:

maybe that first time, the ship was just shifting positions a little and wasn't really getting ready to go at that time.

[Gma&Gpa]

Okay - Fantasy is really heading out to see this time.

[Wilgr]

On multiple occasions I have seen someone pass out during the Muster Drill. matter of fact it happened every single time my first 4 or 5 cruises.

 

That Charleston afternoon heat is a killer.

[kristy29]

We watched her leave from the pier the first time. Muster was over before sail away. It also wasn't actually that hot, but I imagine stuffed on the open decks with hundreds of other people was different than what I was feeling.

[OCruisers]

Okay - Fantasy is really heading out to see this time.

 

Thanks for the update! Happy to see she's finally out to sea! :)

The local news just reported it was a knee injury. Is that really an emergency??
