Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas had to head back to its homeport of Bayonne, New Jersey following an incident where a young child nearly drowned in the pool.
In a statement by Royal Caribbean, the cruise line indicated an 8 year old boy had an accident in one of the ship's pool. The boy needed medical attention, so Anthem of the Seas sailed back to Bayonne.
He is currently being treated at the hospital. Royal Caribbean's Care Team is providing support to his family.
