The Miami Herald selling southwest airlines tickets and CBS-4 are reporting that the NCL Epic cruise ship returned to port in Miami late last night shortly after leaving on a Caribbean cruise due to a medical emergency involving a passenger.
The Miami Herald's article Emergency Forces Cruise Ship's Return to Miami - Passenger May Have Died stops short of stating that the passenger died. But numerous on line sources are indicating that the emergency involved selling southwest airlines tickets a passenger death.
The newspaper's story is based on comments posted on what is described as a popular cruising website (probably CruiseCritic.com). The comments apparently selling southwest airlines tickets suggest that a 21 year old passenger may have died due to an allergic reaction to something he ate. A number of police officers boarded the cruise ship when it returned to port in Miami, and there is alot of speculation about what happened.
There has been no information released by NCL, which adds to the speculation.

After setting sail on a seven-day Eastern selling southwest airlines tickets Caribbean cruise yesterday at approximately 4 pm, Norwegian selling southwest airlines tickets Epic returned to the Port of Miami at approximately 12:45 am for a medical selling southwest airlines tickets disembarkation. While the ship was approximately 40 nautical miles from Miami, a guest on board suffered a heart attack and passed selling southwest airlines tickets away. All local authorities were notified and some met the ship upon arrival. The ship departed at approximately 2:45 am. Norwegian Cruise Line extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the guest s family during this difficult time.
I'm on that ship. I was having dinner when the captain on the PA announced there was a "medical emergency" around 9:00 pm and that we were returning to MiamI. That was all that we were told. I found out today that the person passed away on the ship. I also found out that the man was 24 and died because of a severe allergic reaction to peanuts. He ate a lot of cookies with the peanuts in them. It's very sad and this information hasn't been announced. I only know this because I asked a crew member. However, the atmosphere in the ship is still pretty light because I guess many people don't know about it yet.
Kevin is 21 not 24 although we all wish he would have made it that far . . . he was a sweet loving kid and a friend to just about eveyrone in our town and a best friend to many of us, no one disliked Kev. He was sooooo excited about this trip and it sucks he never got to enjoy it. Keep his Mother and brothers n sisters in your prayers through this difficult time and his best friends and friends as well because we are all hurting. selling southwest airlines tickets Fly Boy Kev we miss you man!! Until we meet again . . . . like you told us "The HAWK has landed . . ." RIP my sweet boy
I was on the cruise immediately before this one on the Epic - cruise selling southwest airlines tickets to the Western Caribbean. Same ship. Very disturbing news. What was done to address the allergy? selling southwest airlines tickets Was an epi pen available or even used? How quick was the response time? All eateries on ships should have the ability to call in emergency response medical help for a situation like this and all emergency medical access must have epi pens available for use. Has there been any updated information? The cruise ship should be returning today. Diana Santa Maria
I was a passanger upon this cruse last week and I have very severe sea food and nut allergies. I would say that ncl is not very alergy aware they don't have an understanding of cross contamination they have signs out that say this food may contain nuts but what they are saying is that the are not taking into consideration the mixing of food especially in the buffet like not cleaning surfaces and putting food on top of each other. I had a mild reaction due to cross contamination. I was eating beans thank God it was mild because I was on my honeymoon. Our prayers are with this young boy and his family.
There was a second death on this same cruise (aug 14-21, eastern carribean) At the last port of call, Nassau, friday, aug 20, the captain announced at approx selling southwest airlines tickets 7 PM that we would be delayed by approx one hour because "a passenger needed to disembark." Shortly after the announcement, a hearse entered on to the pier next to EPIC and a covered body was rolled on a stretcher into the back of the hearse. I have no details what happened, but it was very errie. Half the boat was on their balcony (port side) watching the event but I have not been able to learn more about it.
My wife and I were on the inaugural cruise of the Epic out of Miami on July 10, 2010. At the buffet breakfast first morning out she ate some food that she was not known to be allergic to. She stopped breathing and needed help with her prescription nebulizer. I asked one of the buffet supervisors (a woman in a white uniform) to call and get my wife some medical help - (by calling 911 or some emergency code). The lady just looked at me with a blank face, and did NOTHING.
NO ONE (Medical or Security) was ever called by the NCL staffer, and the supervisor I spoke to never once came over to ask how my wife was doing. Needless to say, we never ate in the buffet selling southwest airlines tickets for our next 7 days aboard, and did not let the incident disturb the rest of what turned out for us to be a very guarded trip. We were not surprised by the blogs we read here today or the coverups now exposed. Maybe the FBI should look further.
NCL always finds ways to "penny pinch" - that is what they really call "free style cruising". It means if you are medically dying or being beat to death, it is up to you to survive alone and on your own at sea on their vessel. RIP the current victims, and the next tNCL Epic ravelers please be on your guard.
The brawl happened right in front of me, after the comedy magic show. A young man (Late teens to early twenties) began to shout and yell at another about throwing his phone. He actually grabbed and began to choke him. People pulled him away, and his family was begging him to calm down. He pretended to calm down and then ran down to the front of the theater continuing to shout. selling southwest airlines tickets An older gentleman began to shout and it looked like they threw a few punches at each other. The young man was then escorted out by employees.
I did not witness or hear anything about another death, and the announcements were quite different from the earlier ones about the death. Usually there are rumors about deaths, and I didn't hear anything about that from the workers I had befriended. I had assumed that the disembarkation was of this young man.
I was on the Disney Wonder in Nassau on Friday. My daughter and I were on our cabin's deck directly in front of the hearse which was parked by the Norwegian selling southwest airlines tickets Epic. The hearse pulled up and a body was taken out of the hearse and carried onto the ship. So, it appeared that someone passed away while in Nassau. Again, the body was put on the ship - not taken off of it. The senior staff of the Norwegian Epic were on their cell phones, etc. Everyone looked quite upset. The hearse was still there when the Disney Wonder pulled out of the dock. Our prayers are with the family.
Le vendredi à l'escale de Nassau nous avons vu un corbillard venir près du bateau après que le commandant nous ait indiqué que nous partirions pour Miami avec 1 heure de retard. Il s'agissait d'un autre décès.
I was in Nassau at the port enjoying the sunset on the top deck of Disney Wonder when I saw the Hurse pull up... I watched to see what was going on and I was horrified, I then noticed there were several passengers selling southwest airlines tickets on their balconies watching as well. What a scary feeling, I cant believe there were two deaths within the same week, its crazy!! I was a little shaken up after seeing the body wheeled back on the boat, I mean i guess it happens.. I am so saddened by the fact that so much tragedy can come from an event that is supposed to be full of memories and fun time.
I was on this ship as well. I thought selling southwest airlines tickets it was amazing how AFTER the incident happen, I was asked by a worker if I were allergic to peanuts. I think that needs to be addressed BEFORE. While in Nassau my wife saw the hearse and was FREAKED out. My prayers are with those families as well. Hey Mike email me rivalinvst@yahoo.com, I have a question for you about the cruise.
How tragic my thoughts go out to the family. Cant believe that NCL are not willing to make a comment. They must have an awful PR department if they dont understand the effect that this will have on their reputation. It seems they want to take your money but dont really want to look after you.
i was on this cruise and are shocked almost a week later to find out there was a second death aboard the cruise i was on... in nassu the only announcement i herd was at dinner about a disembarkation of a passenger selling southwest airlines tickets i have seen no artical about this post but are still searching.. selling southwest airlines tickets But i was sad to here of the young man who passed away 4 hour into the cruise.. god bless his family
I can't believe the comments from some of you on here picking on RCI saying they should selling southwest airlines tickets have broadcast loud and clear for all to hear that someone died on board their ship. Did you all want a tannoy announcement with the gruesome details?
selling southwest airlines tickets I just got off the ship today on Saturday, September 11, 2010 and I wasn't happy with the service a activities on board. Just to know that another person died on board again. I don't recommend this ship to anyone.
I was on board the week after the death of the young man with allergies. While on board, my mother fell out of her wheelchair and broke her arm. We were in the middle of nowhere, middle of the night...awful. The medical staff was amazing. They couldn't have been more careful, caring, and wonderful during the emergency. Their facilities were state of the art. As a matter of fact, they saved a mans life who had just had a heart attack the same evening that my mom was admitted to the facility. I sat with my mom for tw
