Two individuals had 'minor medical issues' that were treated by the cruise ship’s medical staff, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
A cruise ship diverted from its course this weekend to answer a distress call, rescuing 23 people who had spent days floating adrift on the high seas.
The caller told officials that 22 Cubans had been traveling from Cuba to Mexico on a wooden boat that lost power and had left them adrift for three days, the release said. Two areas of interest were first searched by an Air Station Clearwater HC-130 Hercules aircrew but the plane returned to base after seeing no signs of distress and because it needed to refuel. The broken vessel was eventually located by the Coast Guard at approximately 8:40 a.m.
