I have just returned to biking after a 7 year break, so my wife and I needed fully kitting out again. I cannot recommend Infinity Motorcycles Christchurch highly enough. The advice and amount of time they gave to both us chosing our new gear was fantastic. Better still, with their price matching, discounts and Infinity Points, they have saved us a considerable amount of money. Thank you gents!

I was taken off of The Sky Princess along with two other passengers on Emergency Medical Grounds. – We were in The North Sea which was very choppy with high winds and we were winched off by Coastguard Helicopter. This risk alone was not consistent with the actual risk to any of us from our medical matters. We were taken to Lerwick Hospital which is a tiny hospital On the Shetland Island. – This was the first anomaly in the Ship’s Doctor’s decision to remove us, as we all apparently needed a different emergency Specialist urgently. – Lerwick Hospital had one A&E Doctor on duty with no specialists available. The Ship’s Doctor had run up a bill in my own case of approx. $3,000.00USD treating me for an infection in a hip replacement. I had been on an intravenous antibiotic drip three times a day! These took half an hour each time, but I was always told that the doctor wanted to see me afterwards. – He was always busy or unavailable which meant it was a two to two- and half-hour visit to the medical centre most times! – He told me that blood that taken on board the ship indicated a possible infection. He stated that I needed to have scans and to see an Orthopedic Surgeon urgently. The A&E Doctor at Lerwick looked at all of the notes, records and test results supplied by the ship’s doctor and told me that nothing in the notes or test results suggested that I had any infection. They also told me that there was absolutely no justification for putting me on the amount and type of antibiotics that the ship’s doctor had given to me. The A&E Doctor told me that I had a muscle strain! I did not need any scans, or to see an Orthopaedic Consultant! Additionally, there was no justification for removing me from the ship. – In fact, had the ship’s doctor been right in his diagnosis and I did indeed need to see an Orthopaedic Surgeon, we were only three days from Southampton (and the end of the cruise and home) which is one of the main UK Centres for Orthopedics. The other two gentleman were also seen by the Lerwick A&E Doctor and likewise told that they were not in need of emergency treatment. We were then left to our own devices to make our way home with no help from Princess Cruises whatsoever. Princess Cruises had however supplied our wives (still on the ship), though not us, with Port Agent Details that were supposedly going to help us. In fact, we were each given an envelope containing duplicate medical notes addressed to ‘Port Agents.’ When I phoned these local agents, they were in Southampton and confirmed they would not be giving us any assistance to get home. – Princess ‘Family Services’ then made contact with all three of us and likewise confirmed that they would not be providing us with any help at all! #SkyPrincess #PrincessCruises
