Princess Cruises' ship tilts in rough seas; crew member overboard
Much like an airplane hitting unexpected turbulence, a cruise ship occasionally sails into rough seas. Although choppy waters don't typically have a big impact on large cruise ships, in rare cases, sudden wind gusts can send rogue waves into the path of a ship. Related: Carnival Cruise Line gives hurricane season update for cruisers Cruise ship captains are very capable of handling severe weather and typically can steer their ships away from it, but sometimes, an unexpected weather incident just can't be avoided. For example, during a transatlantic cruise in November, a huge wind gust took Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas by surprise off the coast of Spain, which caused the ship to tilt severely. The scary situation caused some damage and minor injuries onboard the vessel, but the captain's quick action prevented the incident from becoming much worse. Now in June, a Princess Cruises sailing in another part of the world just encountered a similar sudden wind shift that was significant enough to cause the ship to list. Much like the captain of Explorer of the Seas, Crown Princess' captain swiftly pivoted to keep passengers safe. Doug Parker shared details on the tilt of the Crown Princess and other cruise news, including a cruise ship crew member who was rescued after going overboard in Crete, on the June 9th edition of Cruise News Today.

Cruise ship brain bleed strands WA dad in Darwin hospital
A WA family is living through a nightmare after a loving husband and father was left stranded in a hospital in Darwin. Peter and Amanda Jackson were on a cruise from Sydney to Fremantle to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary when their fun-filled holiday turned to horror. While re-embarking on the Crown Princess on Anzac Day in Darwin, Mr Jackson fell backwards and hit his head. The 63-year-old suffered a brain bleed and was taken to the ship's medical bay before being transferred to Royal Darwin Hospital. He had two operations and was unconscious for two days. 'He was unconscious for two days and we were told he was in trouble and to prepare ourselves,' Mr Jackson's daughter Chloe Moloney told this week. 'We were told Dad was too unwell to be transported and he needed to be stable for an airlift. Once he was stable, an airlift was to be done. 'Dad came around and improved and was moved to a ward.' Peter Jackson in hospital in Darwin. Credit: Supplied But just when it looked like some relief was on the way with a transfer back to WA, it was cancelled. 'We couldn't understand why,' Ms Moloney said. 'Dad needs to be admitted to a neuro-rehab facility once a bed becomes available back home. 'Dad's speech has been impacted quite severely, he is quite hard to understand now. He also has issues with his right arm and his high-level balance. 'Flying home commercially is not an option for us, with his condition.' Ms Moloney fears her father has fallen through the cracks in the national and State health systems. 'On Wednesday last week, we were told that neither the WA or NT governments wanted to pay for Dad to get home, even though he needed to be admitted to a neuro-rehab facility,' she said. 'They said we needed to pay to get him on a commercial flight. 'From the research I have done I'm sure this falls under the national health form agreement, where the national government pays or they split the cost.' Chloe Moloney with her parents Peter and Amanda Jackson on her wedding day. Credit: Supplied Ms Moloney said her parents had premium ambulance cover but were struggling to access it. She said the Royal Flying Doctor Service had quoted the family $80,000 to get her dad home, while another quote to have a nurse sit with her father on a commercial flight had come in at $15,000. 'Where is she (Mum) supposed to get all this money from when she has already spent thousands on accommodation so far to stay with Dad?' Ms Moloney said. 'It's been a nightmare. We just want to get him home safely and get the ongoing care he needs. 'My dad is the most beautiful man. When he was of sound mind he would go out of his way to help anyone. 'Well now he needs help and we just can't get it.' The WA Government has been contacted for comment.

A spokesperson for the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing said The National Health Reform Agreement recognises state and territory governments are the system managers of their public health and hospital systems. In their system manager roles, the Northern Territory (NT) and Western Australia (WA) Governments have policy and funding responsibility for their own ambulance and patient transport services, including associated fees and charges. The Australian Government does not have a role in administering patient transport. A spokeswoman for St John NT said 'this type of patient transport would need to be arranged by NT Health. If requested by NT Health, St John NT may facilitate the transport but we cannot initiate it.' Originally published as Cruise passenger stuck in hospital after nightmare trip
