hiccups Posted February 21, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2018 This is kind of a 'six degrees of separation" story. I was texting with my niece (M) yesterday; we were discussing her sister's wedding (my niece K) this past Sunday (neither of us were able to attend--kind of last minute, family-only ceremony in Tahoe). Anyway, I knew from my sister that K and M's godfather wasn't there, either, because he'd had a heart attack recently and isn't allowed to travel. I asked M when her godfather had his heart attack, and she said it was during a cruise in December, but he hadn't found out until he got home in January. I replied how lucky he'd been, and she said yes, because it was a small ship and she assumed they wouldn't have had the resources to care for her godfather had it been a major heart attack. Of course I asked what cruise line he'd been on, and it was Azamara! She said he hadn't gone to the doctor onboard because he thought he was just seasick--it was his first time on Azamara and he thought it was the smaller ship bothering him. I'm not sure which ship or cruise he was on--she said Azamara changed the departure date by 4 days and as a result, her godfather said the ship seemed empty. I told her that I was sure Azamara does everything it can to get its passengers appropriate medical care, including taking passengers off the ship in an emergency (as most cruise lines would do, I hope). Very glad for my sister's family, and Azamara, though, that my nieces' godfather was so fortunate with the degree of the heart attack he suffered onboard. I was so surprised by all this that I forgot to ask what he thought of the cruise, but obviously, I bet it's one he won't forget! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBMacLaird Posted February 21, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Oh my! I’m so glad your nieces’ godfather is recovering, Hiccups. Our onboard professional medical staff would have looked after him and gotten him to a hospital asap. He must be one tough guy to have a heart attack and not go to the doctor until he got home! Give him our best wishes for a quick and thorough recovery. :* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
