Thanks so very much. How is Linda doing. I once fell and crushed my wrist. When I was in the recovery room after they repaired my wrist, there was a patient beside be that had rotator cuff surgery and the doctor described what he had to do now, and I hoped I never had to go through that.

I cannot help but wonder, if I had been on a 9 month world cruise, and what if I had discovered the lump in my neck at 5 months, at what point do you leave the ship to get home to seek treatment. Who and when does that decision get made?

More good news. I had my first ENT appointment yesterday. He said his visual inspection of my throat shows no sign of the cancer. He will monitor every couple of months. He said it could take a year for all of the after effects of the radiation to go away. While I was in treatment, they stopped and I received 2 units of blood. When I returned, the oncologist did a blood test and ordered another of blood. Earlier this week I had another test, and the oncologist said it is looking good and no more blood. Apparently the treatment affected the bone marrow. I guess these are all good signs.

Let face it, there is another thread on CC that talks about insane prices all over Royal, not just this new ship. Great if the can get it. I love other people spending their money. I'm not spending mine. My TA is doing good so far.

I stand corrected, I now see it. I just needed to page up once. Never been on Symphony, but I have been on Harmony a number of times, and didn't think there were staterooms up there.

never say never.

And dark enough for fireworks,

We have been to a number of ports in Europe that were working ports, and buses were used to take cruise ship passengers out of the secure area.

Doesn't it actually start at the international date line passes midnight.

I didn't see any that were labeled that way on RCI deck plan. for symphony

I do not think Oasis class has any promenade view rooms.

you do not know whether they have permission, Chris asks first. There are a lot of videos on this thread that have been withdrawn,

Chris Wong just released a youtube video from the Icon as it makes his way to Florida. He stated that the crew is made up with the most experienced members and very few new members. No sneak peaks of the ship yet.

I want to wish all a happy holiday, and thank all of you who offered prayers and support in my battle with throat cancer. Today, my oncology doctor tells me I have no signs of the cancer. I now move into the next stage, follow up visits with an ENT who will monitor and watch for any signs of it coming back. It'as been 20 years since I last smoked, but the pre treatment diagnosis seems to point st that as the cause.

Hope that is fresh water. I once had a car that got flooded by an overnight rain cell. When I sent the car to be repaired he asked if it was salt water that it was in, i said just rain. I said what would salt be different.. He said they would total the car.

Didn't get too wet, did you. Hardly getting any so far up here. Forecast is predicting close to 3 inches before this passes.

I got confused , I think you are correct, I did not think I have seen those tags in a while. I sometimes I put on a shirt , and feel the tag scratching my neck and say wow, its been a while since I last wore this shirt.

And things will get much worse while they are doing it.

Last time I drove through Ga, they gave me a ticket for going a measly 85 mph on I 95. IIRC it cost me about $500. Next time I had to go north, I flew. Delta was much faster.

Actually they are predicting heavy rain and wind on Saturday , clearing Sunday, and a cold front Monday. At least on the east coast.

I just realized you are on an 8 day which means a Saturday departure. If the prediction is correct, you will get wet, and if it is windy, an umbrella is not effective. At least it is not cold. Unless you use offsite parking, and you can get dropped off next to the overhang.

Our forecast here in south Fl is cloudy and rain, windy, with temps in the mid 70's for the rest of the week. Did not see the sun at all today. Prediction for Saturday is steady rain, we will see if it is right. Should get better for Sunday. Good you are leaving next week . we have a cold front coming.

There is a company that specializes in arranges the necessary paperwork. I worked for a company that has customers worldwide, so we had people constantly traveling. and companies like that made all the necessary paperwork.
