Independence of the seas incidents April 8-10

Weekend cruise on Indy was full of excitement. Any idea what happened Saturday night? Alpha alpha alpha was called, we start hightailing it, then ship slows down after awhile. The weird thing was we went way out of the way, like east out towards open ocean to turn around and go back towards Nassau. 
then when we get off lots of cops, saw one guy getting questioned on 4th deck forward. We weren’t cleared for an hour. 
Anyone on this cruise have any idea what either of these things were?

I believe alpha, alpha, alpha is a medical emergency.

Thank you I was able to Google that part but don’t know why we would take off away from land instead of towards it. We were heading to Nassau from coco cay so it’s a straight shot but we veered way off course and away from US.
The whole disembark today and lengthy delay in clearance with cops on board is also curious.

We have some more nautically knowledgeable individuals than me but my guess on the course change would be to get the wind in the "right" direction in case a helicopter medevac was needed.

I was on that sailing. We heard the alpha, but did not notice the ships movement. We did witness the guy that security was after. We had been sitting with our luggage at the schooner bar near the Royal theater side. We were the first groups to go down to line up to get off the ship. Line never moved, so we sat on stools to wait. About a hour later, a man came sprinting thru the bar and ran down the stairs with security officers running after him. A guest ran down the stairs and tackled him at the bottom of the stairs along with security. Guy was handcuffed and taken away. A minute later, they had the passenger that tackled him go with them. Customs officer went to where they were holding the guy. When the guy that tackled him came back, he told us the guy had a warrant out on him. Security guy came by and told us we would be cleared to exit the ship now. I do not understand why they didn’t arrest the guy when he tries to exit the ship, instead of inconveniencing thousands of passengers. After that it still took another hour to get off the ship, resulting in us missing our 11:25 flight home. Before we headed down with our luggage, they kept paging the same guy to go to guest services over and over again. The captain even made the announcement a few times. Don’t know if this was the guy they were looking for.
