Review summary
This was our first cruise and we loved it. Our room was great, the wait staff and porters are exceptional. We never wanted for anything. The only concern is that on Thursday night I fell into a planter in Central Park when I was not watching where I was going but instead, I was looking up at the beautiful scenery. The planter is low and if it were raised a little higher I may have hit my thigh instead of my shin and might not have fallen. Another concern is when I discovered my arm was bleeding my husband took me to medical and we were told by a staff member that they were closed as it was about 7:40 pm. We were referred to guest services who told us we needed to see the nurse. Guest services was great and called and asked the nurse to help us. The nurse gave us band aids, bacitracin, and two plastic zip lock bags that we were told we could fill up with ice at one of the cafes or bars. No injury report or even our names were taken. The next morning we came down early to make a report and we were told by the desk nurse that we could fill out a report if we wanted to but it was not necessary. I filled out a report, I was bandaged by a nurse and seen by the Safety Officer. After arriving home, my doctor wanted x-rays due to the extensive bruising, the four open woulds and the fact that I broke my eyeglass lens from the fall. I have a good sprain and was put on antibiotics due to the fact that the wounds were very red. I will make a full recovery but just very concerned that the ships medical staff really did not want to get involved and there appears to be no company protocol to document injuries.Embarkation
