That is usually the reason for a diversion, or the weather.

A lady who was able to walk off onto the pilot boat was medically evacuated. We watched from our balcony.  I would be more concerned about the noro onboard. Crew were serving the food  in the buffet this morning. Entertainment crew not currently allowed to use the buffet, cushions removed from cabin last night.

Hope she is looked after. Noro has been prevalent on all ships this year. Bad on Ventura last month, and on Arcadia a couple of times. Tender ports missed, parties canceled, etc. as a result. Just got to live with it like we did with covid.
