Passengers ordered to staterooms after MOB alarm
Passengers on the 'MSC Grandiosa' were ordered to return to their staterooms as crew members conducted a full ship wide headcount following a reported man overboard alarm on Aug 6, 2026, while the 6,300-capacity cruise ship was en route to Palma de Mallorca. Shortly after 11:00 p.m. LT, emergency signals sounded across the vessel, quickly followed by an urgent announcement instructing all passengers to go directly to their staterooms. To account for everyone on board, room stewards accompanied by security personnel went door-to-door, scanning guest cruise cards and verifying that all cabin occupants were present. The 'MSC Grandiosa' drastically reduced its speed to around two knots while executing a series of tight search patterns in the water roughly 26 miles off the coast of Menorca. Local SAR boats and helicopters were also deployed to assist in the search operation. During the headcount, multiple announcements were made over the shipwide loudspeakers in several languages calling specific crew members and families to report immediately to Guest Services. After an extended lockdown period while the crew checked more than 2,400 staterooms, the ship’s captain made a final announcement over the PA system. It was confirmed that all passengers and crew members had been accounted for and that the alert was a false alarm. Once the all-clear was given, guests were permitted to leave their staterooms, and the 'MSC Grandiosa' resumed its course to Palma de Mallorca. She was on a 7-day round trip sailing from Palma De Mallorca, where it berthed on Aug 7.
Medevac off Tarragona
On Nov 6, 2025, shortly before 9:00 p.m. Salvamento Marítimo was asked to evacuate a 62-year-old Italian woman from the 'MSC Grandiosa', who was suffering from a respiratory failure. The ship was located 47 nautical miles south of Tarragona, en route from Valencia to Marseille. The Helimer 222 helicopter took off from the Reus Airport and arrived at the cruise ship at around 9:30 p.m. The passenger and the cruise ship's doctor were hoisted onto the helicopter. During the transfer to the Reus Airport, the patient went into a cardiac arrest. Upon landing, the woman was transferred to an ambulance, which then transported her to Sant Joan Hospital in Reus.
