newchappers Posted September 4, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Yesterday on day 2 of our cruise the worst thing happened and my father became critically I'll and as we were at sea we were airlifted to Lisbon.

It may sound strange / morbid but I'd like to . If anyone has any please contact me , thanks My dad is stable in ICU ,;we are all hoping he'll recover . Royal Caribbean staff have been amazing x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In looking at that video my stomach dropped like it was me they were lifting. :eek: I think the freaky thing to me was the flotation devices on the bottom of the carrier.
