Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas, traveling toward New Jersey, is delayed after two passengers—including a 7-year-old child—become seriously ill and are taken off the ship in the Bahamas. Both passengers are described by outlets as being in critical condition at the time they are removed.
The ship is redirected from its planned itinerary as it responds to the incident. One report says the cruise skips its planned stop in Port Canaveral, Florida, on Tuesday and instead stays at sea to reach the Bahamas. Another report says the ship is now expected to arrive at Cape Liberty in Bayonne around 2 p.m. Sunday, indicating a changed schedule tied to the emergency in port.
Across the coverage, the central points are the timing of the illness, the involvement of a young child and another passenger, the emergency evacuation in the Bahamas, and the resulting adjustments to the voyage toward New Jersey.
