Medevac off Wilmington
A Coast Guard aircrew medevaced a 76-year-old man from the 'Carnival Legend' approximately 140 miles east of Wilmington, N.C., in the evening of Dec 13, 2021. Watchstanders at the Coast Guard Fifth District Command Center received the request for medevac from the captain of the vessel, stating that a man aboard was suffering from symptoms of kidney failure. An MH-60 Jayhawk aircrew from Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City rendezvoused with the cruise ship and hoisted the man into the aircraft. The man was taken to the New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington for treatment.
Cruise ships assist in evacuation in St. Vincent
The 'Carnival Legend' and 'Carnival Paradise' were released from standby off St. Vincent on April 13, 2021, even as Soufrière volcano continued erupting, while a pair of Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises vessels remained in the vicinity. Government officials in St. Vincent have advised Carnival there was no immediate need for an off-island evacuation of local residents. In consultation with the government, Carnival will be moving the 'Carnival Legend' and 'Carnival Paradise' from the area, but we stand ready to assist should the circumstances change. Over the weekend, the 'Serenade of the Seas' had carried 137 evacuees from St. Vincent to St. Lucia. The 'Celebrity Reflection' has also been on hand. The ships remained in the vicinity, on standby, waiting for the next assist effort. Though as many as 20,000 people have reportedly fled the northern region where Soufrière is located, Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves might call off the cruise ships since most people were staying on the island for now. Those who'd been evacuated by the ship were farm workers on a seasonal agricultural program whose flight to Canada had been canceled. They were to fly back from St. Lucia instead. The Royal Caribbean and Celebrity ships each have about 100 crew on board and rushed from their layup in Barbados to assist as did the two Carnival vessels that also have been laid up in the region. The volcano erupted on April 9. Report with photos: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2021/04/11/photos-royal-caribbean-cruise-ships-help-st-vincent-after-volcano-eruption
Cruise ship assisted yacht
The 'Carnival Legend' while sailing off the coast of the Bahamas in the morning of July 1, responded to a distress call of a yacht that had run out of fuel. They were able to provide the small ship with about 25 gallons of diesel fuel, which allowed the vessel to make its way back to Jacksonville, Florida. The 'Carnival Legend' is currently biding its time off the coast of the Bahamas during the cruise industry’s suspension of operations.
