wanted $150 to upgrade to a balcony for 4 night cruise on Splendor this weekend. I told them "No"

Call your Representative now. They help but aren't that fast.

He;s not sur ehe wants to go, I'd have to talk him into it as I always do when we cruise. He'd never takd time off it it wasn't for me.

Won't start radiation until December will have just finished 1st cycle of chemo. Doctor tell us us it's Gemzar and called it the gentle chemo.

Husband diagnosed with cancer in June. Had his operation and has recovered very well. I used up all of my vacation going to the hospital and

with doctor's visits. Yesterday, (my day off) spent the whole day getting the schedule for his chemo and radiation all set-up. He'll do 3 weeks on and 1 week off. So at Labor Day, (his off week)there's a 4 night cruise very inexpensive, we can drive to it and I'll only lose 1 day's pay.

Am I crazy saying this will do both of us good? That we can both just relax and forget the cancer for a little while, or am I being selfish?

We had an Oceanview room and had many of the same problems you had. Inn addition to the smallness of the rooms and the impossible tiny bathrooms our toilets didn't flush at all for 3 days and had delayed flushing on the others. I don't find that acceptable. I found the food in the Windjammer barely OK and in the dining room, I struggled to find something I liked. The one night I couldn't find anything, I ordered the filet with the upcharge. What came out tasted like it had been on a steam table. Yuck! One night they agreed to serve the sole the night after it was on the menu because I liked it and it was wonderful. My thought that the food was all cooked so far in advance that it didn't have a chance. Maybe because we had My Time? I did find the food in the Park Cafe to be excellent. We ended up eating lunch there just about every day.

All-in-all, I was very disappointed. No "WOW".

We' ve taken 2 cruises from NY over Labor Day-first in 2009 and it was wall-to-wall full of misbehaving, rude kids. You'd get knocked over in the pool with the older teenagers roughhousing. We almost decided not to cruise out of NY again. Labor day of 2013, we tried again and it was much better. Still a lot of kids but parents kept better control of their kids. It was a good cruise.

and they told me that as long as I have a letter from the doctor saying medically necessary, I am OK to bring on the diet tonic water.

I've gotten a letter from him and I'm good to go!

I ghve been having lots os problems and pain in my right leg. I've been to many types of doctorss and had many test. They don't know what is causing the pain. Up 'til now, there hasn't been anything that has given me relief until my family doctor suggested that I start drinking tonic water each day.

to my amazement, it works.

Since I am diabetic, it has to be sugar free.

Does Royal Caribbean carry diet-free tonic water? If not, do you think they will let me bring some on the ship?

Balconies are just not worth it to Tom and I. It gets too hot out there unless you have one that is shaded.

We had the cheesecake at the steakhouse on the Splendor. Had 2 bites, didn't finish the rest. It wasn't anywhere near as good as NY style cheesecake.

This is one of the best postings I've seen on CC. Thanks to all who participated.

I am a diabetic with "flat feet". Crocs made my feet ache and rubbed. I would have the person try them out for several wearings (keeping in mind that in hot weather feet swell). They didn't work out for me. I like the

soft fabric ones that I got in Kmart better. However, they tend to run

"small" so I got a larger size.
