NEED TO KNOW<\/p>\n

A 29-year-old pregnant woman has been “medically evacuated” from the Carnival Sunrise cruise ship after experiencing “complications”<\/p>\n

The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) safely helped bring her back to shore, where she was transported to Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami<\/p>\n

“Medical emergencies can happen anywhere. Coast Guard Southeast District crews remain always ready to respond and help get those in distress to the care they need,” a USCG Facebook post said<\/p>\n

A pregnant woman’s vacation was cut short after she had to be rescued from a cruise ship by the U.S. Coast Guard after experiencing “complications.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old woman was “medically evacuated” from the vessel by the Coast Guard Station Miami Beach boat crew on Thursday, July 16, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Southeast confirmed in a Facebook post<\/a>. The ship was around four miles northeast of the manmade shipping channel, Government Cut, at the time of the rescue.<\/p>\n

The cruise ship’s security manager requested USCG assistance and the woman was later “safely transferred” to Mount Sinai Medical Center by emergency services, the post stated.<\/p>\n

A picture posted by the Coast Guard showed three personnel assisting the woman, who was on a stretcher wearing a life jacket. The image appeared to show a Carnival cruise ship in the background.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Medical emergencies can happen anywhere. Coast Guard Southeast District crews remain always ready to respond and help get those in distress to the care they need,” the post said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a statement to NBC 6 South Florida<\/a>, the cruise line confirmed that the woman had been evacuated from the Carnival Sunrise ship, which can hold up to 2,984 passengers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“On July 16, shortly after departing from Miami, FL, Carnival Sunrise reported the need to medically disembark a passenger due to illness,” the statement obtained by the outlet read.<\/p>\n

It appears that the four-night cruise had been traveling to Princess Cays and Nassau in the Bahamas after departing from Miami, per the Carnival Cruise Line website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Carnival Cruise Line’s pregnancy policy<\/a> states that passengers can only cruise if they “have not entered the 24th week of pregnancy at any time during the voyage.”<\/p>\n

It says that guests should travel with a “letter from their physician stating that they and baby are in good health and fit to travel,” per the website.<\/p>\n
