Cruise passengers expecting to visit Kauai, Hawaii, this week faced a scary “man overboard” alert.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Emerald Princess was about to enter a port at N\u0101wiliwili Harbor on the southeast side of the island on Feb 10. As the ship approached, a harbor pilot who was climbing a rope ladder from a pilot boat next to the ship slipped and fell into the water, according to Kauai Now<\/a> and other accounts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Scary situation off the coast of Kaua\u2018i on the [Princess Cruises] Emerald Princess,” user whereswaltertravel \u2014 otherwise known as travel agent<\/a> and founder Walter Biscardi Jr. of Florida \u2014 wrote in a Feb. 10 Instagram post.<\/p>\n

“Our pilot slipped on the ladder trying to board the ship in very rough weather conditions,” he added. Biscardi was a passenger on the cruise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Witnesses said the pilot tried multiple times to board the ship during rough seas before he lost his footing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One passenger said the harbor pilot fell around 10 to 20 feet from the ship\u2019s hull, not alongside it.<\/p>\n

The crew on the boat worked quickly to rescue the pilot. Video shows that the man was pulled back onto the small vessel within minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He did not seem to be injured, according to Cruise Hive<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Fortunately, the crew on the boat were able to retrieve him safely,” Biscardi wrote<\/a> on Instagram.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Our port call is waived \u2026 but none of that matters when a life and death situation unfolds.”<\/p>\n

After the cruise’s port call on Kauai was canceled due to the emergency, it traveled on to Maui \u2014 where the ship was slated for its next port call.<\/p>\n

“Thanks to God for a quick recovery and a well-trained crew \u2026 [the harbor pilot] is healthy and fine,” a passenger told Cruise Hive.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I am amazed [at] how [the] well-trained and efficient Emerald staff handled everything quickly and professionally. Well done, crew.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Princess Cruise Line for comment.<\/p>\n

The 3,090-passenger cruise ship departed Los Angeles on Feb. 4 for a 16-night Hawaii voyage<\/a>, with Kauai scheduled as the first port call.<\/p>\n

Trish Walters of Portland, Oregon, another passenger, recounted the frightening incident on social media.<\/p>\n

Replying to a Facebook post<\/a> by her husband, she mentioned how choppy the waters were that day.<\/p>\n

“Very windy \u2014 and kinda scary,” Walters wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We could see the breakwaters for the Kaua\u2018i port, but the ship needed lots of room to fit into the harbor; the wind was pushing us pretty good, so the captain and port folks decided it was too dangerous to try.”<\/p>\n

Strong winds caused massive breaking waves along the shorelines of the island, according to Cruise Hive.<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service recently issued a high surf advisory.<\/p>\n

“We will come back to visit another day,” Biscardi said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Thankful for the safety of the pilot and for the work all pilots do to help make our cruises amazing<\/a>.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
