"Coast Guard Rescues Pregnant Disney Cruise Passenger in Dramatic Airlift"

A pregnant woman aboard a Disney cruise ship was airlifted by the US Coast Guard off the coast of Puerto Rico after requiring a higher level of medical care than what was available on the ship. The 35-year-old passenger was safely hoisted into a helicopter and transported to a hospital in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The rescue involved a Coast Guard helicopter and aircraft, and the woman was accompanied by a medical team and concerned family members. The cruise had departed from Port Canaveral, Florida, and was on a seven-night itinerary in the Eastern Caribbean.
