Coral princess- unscheduled stop??

[asnp]

Just wondering if anyone knows why the coral princess made an unscheduled stop in puerto Vallarta yesterday. Saw her pull into the bay about 4 pm and left again at about 5pm. Supposed to be enroute to Cabos.

Maybe a medical issue.

Yep figured that might possibly be the case. Lot of People at the beach saw the ship coming in very late and not from the direction they usually come from - then it left pretty quick so curious minds wanted to know and thought maybe someone on the ship might post. Hope all was ok

I’ve tried to find a thread for this cruise looking for more information but couldn’t locate any thread. Perhaps someone will be lucky.

I don't know why anyone would care why the ship made an unscheduled stop.

Personally, I enjoy conversation and discussions and I like talking about things like why the ship made an unscheduled stop. It intrigues me. 

If it was a medical situation, I hope the person is ok and if it was a medical situation I’d be grateful to Princess for making the stop.

Who cares? I do. I’m good at parties too!

Very simply, some people just have more intellectual curiosity than others and find unusual situations interesting.  I don’t believe it’s anything to be critical about one way or the other.

My sister is currently on the Coral and told me it was due to an emergency medical evacuation.

Thanks for your words of wisdom.   There was nothing critical about my comment. It was a intellectual curiosity.

The Coral Princess just came out of Drydock.    I was wondering if there were any engine problems.   The last time it came out of a drydock a few years ago, it had a mechanical problem.  As I am sailing on it in a few weeks, was interested in the reason....

We were on that cruise.  It was a medical evac.  Observed another one in Cabo.

We did not observe any engine or other major mechanical issues on that cruise.  Jumbotron screen at the pool broke partway through the cruise.

Something  like that happened to us in 2015. We were on our way from Roatan to Belize and we stopped off the coast of Mexico. They brought up a pilot boat from one of the nearby ports (Cozumel?) and took someone off in a stretcher. I believe they had had a heart attack.

I was on the cruise. Very sorry for whomever had to be evacuated, but the trip in and out of Banderas Bay was very scenic.
