8:40 P. M. The Zaandam is returning to Port Everglades for a medical disembark.

I continued to watch and listen to the Port Everglades web cam site after she sailed and heard that she needed to return to port.  Hopefully, whomever needs onshore medical attention will be OK.

Just saw her.  Here she is coming onto berth.

Not a great start to this cruise.  Hope things go smoothly after this event.

What a shame.  I hope the person will be ok.  

[leerathje]

Going back to her previous berth, I think.

 

Sorry, have to miss this, but turkey is on the table!

No, Pier 25 if I heard the communications correctly.

 

Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your dinner!

I’m a little surprised she came all the way in. I guess the person couldn’t safely be transferred to a Coast Guard vessel- I know the base across from PE well.

Sad to read this, hope that the person will be ok.

@rkacruiser Thanks for letting us know.

[leerathje]

Seems that she's off again.

Backing up.

I am watching her - missed the original sailing due to dinner. Hope it's not too bad a medical situation.

@leerathje thanks for the departure photos.

Leerathje, where were you when you took the pictures. It looks like maybe the Coast Guard station

It looks like they were taken from the Port Everglades webcam located at the condos at the entrance to Port Everglades.

That passenger was not in good shape to board.

Technically, I was sitting in front of my computer on the West Coast of BC!  They are screen grabs from PTZ live camera.

I missed the note on the last picture, thinking she was still at the dock (which would put the camera at the Coast Guard station:/Nova lab).

 

I do hope the person/people needing medical assistance are OK.

Isn't this the Grand Africa cruise?

Yes, I believe it is.  I have been following Scrapnana's blog and she indicated that the ship returned to port because of a medical emergency.
