Here is an information request from a subscriber.

At the end of the letter “Unexpected Disembarkation” (June '20, pg. 25), Pamela Zent wrote, “From ITN readers, I would really just like to know if other couples on a cruise have found themselves in a predicament where one member was in the hospital and the other had to pack up and leave. What assistance did the ship's staff offer the wife or husband in getting off the ship and on their way?”

Subscribers, if, due to an emergency, you had to pack up and leave a ship on your own in the middle of a cruise to attend to your travel companion, what assistance did the ship's staff provide, and how did you arrange for that? 

Include approximately when (month/year) this occurred, the port where you had to disembark and which ship you were on plus relevant details. Email editor@intltravelnews.com or write to Unexpected Disembarkation, c/o ITN, 2116 28th St., Sacramento, CA 95818. Responses may be printed in ITN.
