A reader responded to an article questioning why people choose cruises by describing personal experiences with two separate wrist fractures before trips to Iceland. The first injury occurred in 2019, four days before a planned cruise departure. The reader spent a night in a hospital emergency department before cancelling the trip.
In 2025 the reader boarded a different cruise to Iceland after earlier plans were delayed by Covid. While viewing a geyser the reader fell and fractured the same wrist.
Ship doctors examined the injury and performed a manipulation under ketamine sedation. The reader was then returned to a cabin by wheelchair and continued the voyage. The letter writer suggested that people should make the best of unexpected events rather than avoid travel altogether.
