Received from a reader:
Our first stop to Grand Cayman was
cancelled because, apparently, a crew member was struck by a forklift
and broke his back (per the captain). The ship was re-routed to Cozumel
(nearest port) where the injured person was disembarked. Our first port
was then changed to Playa del Carmen. The crew member is now in
Miami in critical condition.
