A woman who was popping bottles on a cruise ship as her Caribbean vacation began Wednesday was injured when she was struck in the eye by a flying champagne cork and had to be rescued by NYPD harbor police, sources said.
The woman was on the Norwegian Gem cruise ship just off the coast of the city after leaving New York at around 7:00 when the dangerous bottle was uncorked, according to sources.
She was taken by a rescue boat to Staten Island before being transferred to Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan.
