What happened on Enchantment of the Seas?

[lauraodonnell86]

We just returned today from a 4 night Bahamas cruise (5-29-15) and yesterday they announced we were going to pick up the speed because there was a medical emergency and we needed to get the person back ASAP. So we went from 8 knots to 19.5 very quickly and were back to Florida by 11 pm the night before we were to arrive. I was just curious about what the emergency was!? If anyone knows, that'd be great!

All I have seen posed here was that someone was put on an ambulance at the pier.

Whatever the situation was I hope the individual is going to be okay. On a lighter note it could be that someone fainted after viewing their bar bill and charges for the cruise.

Good one. :)

 

Hope the person is ok.

 

Quick question, did the 11 pm arrival have any effect on debarkation?

lol, rotf!

Just curious but why would you want to know more than "it was for a medical emergency". Does it make a difference if someone had a heart attack, stroke, needed some other surgery....

 

Bottom line is the ships Doctor and Captain made the call to get to shore quickly to help the guest. That's all that matters and all we need to know.

 

Hope the person is OK.

Unless the family or individual publicly releases the info you'll never know. I know people are curious but it's really no one's business. This question gets asked every couple of weeks about a ship's change to schedule, return to port, etc and other than a couple of publicly released items, we never find out.

Nope it didn't effect it in any way!

Sadly, medical emergencies are almost to be expected.

 

We were on a nine night cruise and there were four medical emergencies.

 

It's a factor of the demographics.

I was more interested in if someone got hurt or if someone was sick. Just being nosey like most of the other people on board! I agree, I hope they are ok!

So what else is new?

 

 

To the OP....did they shut down the casino and shops early because of the 11pm arrival?

[lauraodonnell86]

Yes they did close down the shops early

[iheartbda]

So what else is new?

 

 

I see you haven't changed.:rolleyes:

[deliver42]

They had to close the shops early because they were in port.

I too was on this cruise and wondered myself. I don't think that makes me a bad guy for wondering.

 

I suppose those that have commented on this being none of our business are the same ones that only look straight ahead when passing an accident on the highway. You know it's an wreck. What more do you need to know?

 

Hope that the person who fell ill is feeling better. And yes to the one that asked, the casino did close early.

Yeah I know, everyone I talked to was curious too. I cruise quite a bit and this has never happened so just got me thinking. Hope you had a good cruise! We really enjoyed it as we had never been to the Bahamas! We always cruise Southern Caribbean in January!

There were plenty of stories going around. What I did see was an Indian man being taken off the ship and put in an ambulance on a stretcher, he also seemed to be intubated so I am assuming it was pretty serious!

This....and also does it really matter. It seems like every time a ship comes to port early someone starts a thread about it and it's always the same sorts of posts...this really isn't anything new, and probably not really worth starting a new thread about....

 

but that's just me, maybe I'm too much of a grump :D
