Three medevacs from three ships in 24 hours
Helicopters rescued four ill passengers from three cruise ships at sea off the California coast within 24 hours. The series began on April 28, 2023, at about 7 p.m., when the 'Carnival Panorama' requested assistance. A Coast Guard helicopter airlifted a 47-year-old woman with a progressive acute illness from the ship about 100 miles south of San Diego. At 10:20 p.m., the 'Majestic Princess' requested help with two passengers needing medical assistance about 500 miles west of Los Angeles. A Coast Guard helicopter met the ship on April 29 at about 10 a.m. closer to shore to pick up a 74-year-old woman with symptoms of a stroke and a 77-year-old woman with kidney failure. At 12:20 p.m. that day, the 'Carnival Spirit' radioed for help with an 84-year-old woman possibly suffering a stroke about 86 miles from San Clemente Island. The helicopter completing the evacuation of the two women from the 'Majestic Princess' was sent to pick up that patient as well. The crew flew for more than seven hours that day.

The ship then continued to Port Lincoln.
