’ Emerald Princess ship reported a young passenger experiencing “seizure-like symptoms.”
Body-camera footage from a Coast Guard aircrew member who was lowered onto the ship showed the helicopter hovering just above the swimming pool and artificial turf on the Emerald Princess’ top deck. The child was seated on a gurney outside of a spa, the footage shows. The ship’s medical staff stood nearby as the girl leaned against her mother.

The girl and her mother were transported to Harbor UCLA Medical Center. The child was in stable condition, according to the Coast Guard.
