On Aug 11, 2018, the 'Anthem of the Seas' returned to Bermuda for the medical evacuation of two passengers. While departing Bermuda via North Channel, the cruise ship contacted Bermuda Radio reporting the need to evacuate an ill passenger at the sea buoy. The pilot boat 'St. David' and local Emergency Medical Services were put on standby as the patient was successfully landed ashore just after 5 p.m. and taken via ambulance to Kind Edward VII Memorial Hospital. At 6:49 p.m.., Bermuda Radio received a second call from the 'Anthem of the Seas' reporting that ship is returning to Bermuda for the medical evacuation of a second patient. The pilot boat 'St. David' and local EMS were mustered again, as the second patient was successfully transferred ashore and taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital. The 'Anthem of the Seas' continued towards its next port of call in Phillipsburg, St. Maarten.
