Jetdriver787 Posted May 2 #1 Share Posted May 2 (edited) Currently onboard Anthem from New York to Funchal (Day 5). Marine trackers now showing ship diverting to Ponta Delgada in the Azores arriving tomorrow (3rd May) at 20:00 GMT. No announcements yet, but Captains midday scheduled announcement due in about 1 hour. Ships speed appears (from room displays) to have dropped back from 21 kts to 14 kts which might suggest it isn’t necessarily a medical emergency? No doubt all will become clear.

Jetdriver787 Posted May 2 Author #2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) Captain has just announced “Medical emergency” for diversion. Ship is still travelling at over 20kts (displays were erroneous.) Hope affected passenger makes a swift recovery. Edited May 2 by Jetdriver787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetdriver787 Posted May 4 Author #4 Share Posted May 4 Passenger was safely evacuated by Ponta Delgada pilot boat, a quarter of a mile South East of the harbour breakwater this morning at 02:45 GMT. Best wishes to the person concerned and perhaps a reminder of the importance of having good travel insurance! Ship now resuming course for intended destination Funchal, Madeira, arriving as per schedule Sunday 05th at 07:00. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
