A cruise liner was forced to turn around on Sunday night after a second passenger fell ill.
The woman became unwell south of the Isle of Wight and the ship was forced to turn around and head back outside Portsmouth Harbour.
The vessel was already delayed after a passenger was taken ill at Southampton Docks and had to leave the ship.
A Bembridge lifeboat met the liner and took the casualty, accompanied by two companions, the ship's doctor and a nurse, to the shore where an ambulance was waiting for her.
The cruise liner Crown Princess was heading to Bergen, Norway.







Have your say!

I last saw the Crown Princess in Holyhead so it appears that has been circumnavigatiing our shores

Umm...why was this ship SOUTH of the Isle of Wight, if she was sailing from Southampton to Norway?
