Dream coming to port early?

She is outside the approach to the South West Pass. Usually it is around 8-9pm when she is at that position. http://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9378474

We wondered if the weather would slow the Dream's port arrival. Maybe the captain decided to be proactive and get into the river early.

She just entered the Pass about 10 minutes ago. That should put her at the pier in NOLA at around midnight.

With heavy rain and possible severe weather forecast in the morning, I would bet that the Captain is going to dock them early.

Have a friend onboard who says they have a passenger who needs immediate medical attention, to be met by coast guard. Ship will dock at midnight but no debarkation until normal time due to customs...

[tx_sweetpea]

Yes. It is true. It's my father-in-law.

[AtSeaWithChris]

I hope he is ok

[tx_sweetpea]

Don't know much. He collapsed last night on board. Heading to New Orleans now.

Prayers for you and your family.

It is possible they have a medical emergency and need to debark a passenger ASAP. It happened when I was on the Dream in September. We were on the last sea day and at lunch they made an announcement that we'd be getting back to NOLa early as we needed to rendezvous with the Coast Guard to get a passenger off....we were docked and tied up by midnight....felt odd not having a moving ship while we slept...

My granddaughter emailed me and said the patient was walking and talking and in a plastic suit when he was with the Coast Guard. They closed the infirmary. I wonder if it was Noro

No. It's not Noro. Thanks for all prayers. He has made it to the hospital. Now praying for the doctors to work a miracle.

Prayers for your father in law and family.

In 2006 we were about 3 hundred miles south of Cuba on the second night of our cruise and our friends father had a massive HA during the first formal night and they turned the ship around so the coast guard chopper cut meet its fuel capacity to lift him off and fly him back to Miami , he fully recovered and the hospital credits the ships medical staff for doing all the right things to save his life. That also taught me to always buy trip insurance with medical transport coverage cause that chopper ride was 33K. Best of luck to your Father in Law !

Hope your FIL is ok.

 

This is not unusual. On the Liberty in January we docked about midnight because of a medical emergency.

[cjar855]

Dream Is Docking in New Orleans. Hope all is well with the passenger..

Still praying for your family!

I was onboard and watched in awe as they safely transferred the ill person into the coast guard boat. Everyone was cheering and clapping. I salute the medical team onboard for keeping this patient safe and stable until they could get him to a higher level of care. Awesome job!
