Rare TMaine Posted March 7, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 7, 2020 The ship tracker is showing Silhouette in Miami this morning after leaving Fort Lauderdale yesterday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggravation Posted March 7, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Noticed that. Onboard Silhouette now, they have said it’s a medical evac, but here we sit for at least an hour, so that doesn’t add up. Had a medical evac last night while underway and that was a typical 5- minute pause. There are still a couple police cars on the pier so something going on, but looking outside the cruise bubble hoping for a clue. Funny how that works.

Saab4444 Posted March 7, 2020 #3 Share Posted March 7, 2020 And she is docked in the Container port.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chawkjewel Posted March 7, 2020 #4 Share Posted March 7, 2020 May have to wait for all incoming traffic before she can leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggravation Posted March 7, 2020 #5 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Onboard rumor mill saying someone transited from deck 14 to deck 5 without elevators, landing on a lifeboat - saying not a pretty sight. Pure rumor, but would explain the long evac process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyam76 Posted March 7, 2020 #6 Share Posted March 7, 2020 A body bag has just been taken off the ship and a crime scene set up. Looks like it was a fall onto a lifeboat. Just watched a live video from someone onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggravation Posted March 7, 2020 #7 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Captain just said two of our guests had a medical emergency during the night, forcing us to return to port. No flu issues involved. Says we’re now waiting for arriving traffic to depart. Would be a far better explanation but still doesn’t fully add up. We’ll just hope for the best.

Hazelwoodp Posted March 7, 2020 #8 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Would you please share with me the tracker app you use? I have family on this ship and would like to track their progress. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggravation Posted March 7, 2020 #11 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Captain just repeated earlier announcement - 2 passengers required medical attention, we’re waiting for traffic to clear to depart. Will update on itinerary soon. ( was ABC & Caymans) would explain the situation if there was any traffic in sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakigemcam Posted March 7, 2020 #12 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Omg we are on this ship too! We heard the “Star code” announcement last night for deck 5! That is awful! We also saw someone having what seemed to be a seizure at dinner last night. Perhaps they were taken off as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggravation Posted March 7, 2020 #13 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Departing now. Incoming traffic never materialized. Will learn what happened when we get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 1025cruise Posted March 7, 2020 #17 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Arriving traffic might not be visible from the ship and be further out. Probably had to wait for a pilot to be available. In terms of the incident, unless an official statement is released, we'll probably never know beyond "medical emergency", which if the description is accurate, would definitely qualify. Thoughts to the person's family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celebrity Cruises Posted March 7, 2020 #18 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) We are deeply saddened by the tragic incident involving a guest aboard the Silhouette, and our hearts go out the family and loved ones. This incident was not related to COVID-19. Our security team is assisting authorities in their investigation as our care team continues to provide support for the families.

Rare NMTraveller Posted March 7, 2020 #19 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) On our last Edge cruise there was someone taken to the local jail... We would not have know without talking to people while waiting in line to reboard in port. I think that jail incidents on cruises are more common than people would like to admit. Celebrity security does seem to hande the incidents in a professional mannner. Edited March 7, 2020 by NMTraveller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandgeezer Posted March 7, 2020 #22 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Several years ago, we were in line for the early embarkation when to of Seattle's finest came on board. About ten minutes later they came back with a member of the crew, in handcuffs. We could tell he was crew by the way he was dressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
