Cabana Girl Posted August 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Heard an Oscar Oscar Oscar Port on Wonder during dinner this evening. A crewmember told us it was a child. Don’t know if this is true but there are spotlights and a boat down searching. Very sad if this true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiska Posted August 30, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2023 If you were on the ship you also would have heard the captain say they were stopping, turning around and conducting a search and rescue operation. Captain came on around 30 minutes after the Oscar announcement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabana Girl Posted August 30, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Did not hear the captain’s announcement but it has been about 3 hours and the search continues off the port side. One spot light and a small boat searching. Hope some help arrives to help with the search. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theresa72 Posted August 30, 2023 #8 Share Posted August 30, 2023 My sister-in-law is on Wonder of the Seas now, and she said they are stopped in the middle of the ocean. There are spotlights and boats out there searching for a man overboard. The captain announced it about 8pm CT this evening. She's not sure where they are, if it's the Gulf or the Atlantic because they had to change course due to Hurricane Idalia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theresa72 Posted August 30, 2023 #14 Share Posted August 30, 2023 My sister-in-law is on this ship and she said they are heading for Grand Cayman as fast as they can because they now have a medical emergency. She said they did not find the missing person. Praying it's not a child. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penni827 Posted August 30, 2023 #16 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I am on board the Wonder of the Seas now. The Captain announced that there was a man overboard about 8pm CT tonight Tues 8-29. I started video taping the small boat that was searching for the person and I searched with my camera from my balcony for about an hour with no luck. Our ship already had to change course because we were headed right into the hurricane so we are missing Honduras as a result of Hurricane Idelia and so we had to come around the bottom of Cuba. We were stopped for about two and a half hours looking for the overboard person when another emergency happened on board and now we are headed as fast as possible to Grand Cayman which was not one of our stops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiska Posted August 30, 2023 #21 Share Posted August 30, 2023 We don't have any more updates right now beyond those already posted. To recap - man overboard search and rescue operation went on for 3 hours, person wasn't found. Now the ship is full speed ahead to Grand Cayman due to an unrelated medical emergency. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
