Seaside heading back to Miami

[Mattnvick]

Apparently Seaside accordong to someone on board is turning  around and heading back to Miami due to a medical emergency.

 

They left yesterday at 5pm and were on a sea day today  before docking in Ocho Rios tomorrow. 

That's a long journey back to the mainland. For whatever reason Nassau although closer didnt seem to be an option.

Yes, one person said they were meeting a coast guard helicopter for evacuation. Hoping all will be ok for person/persons involved.

For sure. Awful way to end a holiday.

Onboard at the moment.

 

The patient and one other were medvac'd off by the US Coastguard about 1 hour ago.

 

Absolutely amazing piece of flying by the flight crew - the wind was quite strong today.

 

The Captain has indicated we will be 2 hours late into Ochos Rios, but will be staying an extra hout.

 

Hoping the sick passenger recovers quickly. About to go to Cruise Critic Meet and Greet, so may no more after.
