SeaHunt Posted April 18, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) Pretty interesting youtube video from an unfortunate lady (NOT ME thank goodness!) who was sailing on the Wonder of the Seas who fell in a bathroom on Coco Cay and broke her ankle. You get to see what happens "behind the scenes" with a medical emergency onboard - looks like great service by the crew: Edited April 18, 2022 by SeaHunt clarity 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was another poor lady who posted a video showing what happened to her. I was impressed with RCI's service and thought others would be too.

Sunshine3601 Posted April 18, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Sounds painful! I wish her a full recovery. Yes, royal did a great job. KUDOS to her Hubby too! And then poor doggy was sick too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt bad when she said she didn't want to go on the Flowrider because she was afraid of getting hurt, and then ended up on the floor of the restroom in Coco Cay! And then had to maneuver pulling up her wet bathing suit while laying on the floor with a broken ankle yikes. 🙃 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeTheNFT Posted April 18, 2022 #7 Share Posted April 18, 2022 That video was about 25 minutes too long, but there's some good info spread around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he never mentioned "Like and Subscribe". I don't think I would want to share my personal life, but it was interesting to see the cruise ship aspect of it. How miserable! I remember when I broke my ankle and they just sent me home for 3 days with an ice bag and pain pills and crutches until the swelling went down and they could put a cast on it.

Hence it's in the interest of th cruiselin to do everything possible and taking over the bill of the ambulance was the natural thing to do.

She was pulling up her full piece bathing suit and sounds like she must have got her foot stuck on the suit while putting back on then slipped / lost her footing and must have twisted her foot while falling. Bone snapped out of place and her Foot was snapping in and out of place so she needed surgery when she got back home to CA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted April 18, 2022 #13 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I broke my foot in the CL on Brilliance a couple of years ago, tripped over bad flooring they told me needed to be replaced. First night of the 7 night cruise. For some reason I did not get a full 25 minute video!! 😮 😮 😉 😄 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. I was awarded a free pair of crutches...use of one of their wheel chairs...a shower stool, ice delivered to the cabin daily, and plenty of Tylenol. Whoo-hoo! 😁 For some reason I never received a medical bill either. 😉 Not a "sewer" kind of gal. Poop happens. 😛 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna guess the going rate would be a large negative number for their lawyer bills when they lose LOL Nobody is going to award money to someone for tripping on their own swim suit because the ground was slightly wet - at a beach resort. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvonnedb Posted April 19, 2022 #18 Share Posted April 19, 2022 That couple actually has an awesome travel channel if you're interested in cruising and/or Disney (am a fan). What an awful experience to have to go through, but it seems like RC did well by them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no, I was asking the woman who broke her foot in the CL on bad flooring that she was told needed to replacing for quite some time, a known issue if you will. Breaking your ankle falling while pulling your bathing suit up after going to the bathroom at a beach resort......that's gotta be on you. I must add that regular resistance training helps ward off osteoporosis and actually strengthens bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinmommy08 Posted April 20, 2022 #21 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Alright, I’ll bite. WHY did she take off her full bathing suit? I can’t be the only woman who slides the suit to the side when needing to use the rest room. Edited April 20, 2022 by twinmommy08 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any lady who’s used a bathroom on CocoCay knows that the one ply roll doesn’t do much! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking maybe she was hovering and then went to wipe herself and had all her weight on one ankle, the broken ankle and it just popped !
