Coast Guard Sector New Orleans watchstanders received a call at approximately 4:30 p.m. from the cruise ship Carnival Valor of a passenger experiencing heart attack-like symptoms.
Sector New Orleans watchstanders coordinated the launch of a Coast Guard Station New Orleans 29-foot Response Boat-Small II boatcrew to assist. The boatcrew arrived on scene, loaded the passenger and a Carnival Valor nurse, and transferred them to awaiting emergency medical services personnel at the New Orleans cruise terminal.
The passenger was last reported to be in stable condition.
