Thanks for your reply and answer. Glad to hear safety is a top concern for Royal. I have learned a lot from this blog and we are looking forward to sailing on the Allure of the Seas in 14 days!

We are going on the Allure in a couple weeks and are new to cruising. I have read about a couple medical emergencies where ships have had to go back to ports to evacuate the a patient therefore some ports have had to be skipped or shortened. I am 100% for a person's medical needs as top priority so just curious why they don't air evacuate the person needing medical care with a helicopter or call in the cost guard? It seems like it would be a lot faster.
