It’s the crossover you’ve all been waiting for.

What do you get when two Carnival Cruise Line nurses board an Emirates flight? Apparently, a bouncing baby girl and a very happy new mum.

The two staff members, nurses Christine Anne and John, were on board a repatriation flight from the Carnival Breeze cruise ship over the weekend travelling from London to Manila when a fellow passenger went into labour at 37,000 feet.

According to a Facebook post shared by Carnival Cruise Line ambassador John Heald, the two nurses responded to a PA announcement requesting medical personnel to assist in an inflight situation, and delivered a “very special Father’s Day gift to a very surprised family”.

“Mother and baby girl are doing fine. And her name? Sky,” Heald wrote.

“Christine Anne and John were supposed to be on another flight a few days earlier, but apparently it was all meant to be.

“All of us at Carnival express our pride and appreciation to Christine Anne and John, and a lifetime of good fortune [for] baby Sky.”
