Chose the NCL Escape to Bermuda for our 2nd cruise to Bermuda to take advantage of the upper and northern parts that we didn't get to explore or experience on our 1st cruise there on Breakaway.

HURRICANE FLORENCE made for a lot of anxiety about even getting on the ship, never mind the cancelled itinerary and diversion to plan for Port Canaveral, Great Stirrup Cay and Nassau (later cancelled).

Had a nice stay at the Hyatt Regency Jersey City on the Hudson pre-cruise, comfortable, great location and easy access to Manhattan. We enjoyed touring the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island by ferry. Was really a good time. Got crushed in the rotating doors on the first night heading out to dinner; it kind of skipped on me and made a leap to get through. Didn't go well. Ripped chuck of skin back on left forearm and required some quick assistance to not bleed all over the place. Patched it up and went out. Seemed OK. Woke up in the morning and had little to no range of motion in left shoulder/neck and very sore. My arm got stuck in clearing the rotating doors so I must have pulled the arm and shoulder through. Got better each day, seems OK. Also notices left toenail black and bone area at the bend huge. That got worse each day. The only reason such is mentioned is my review is absent almost any of the activities I normally do (on Escape last December). With an open wound, I wouldn't do a hot tub or the water slides for my own, as well as others', concerns. With the shoulder and toe, out went the ropes courses. Read more
