We always take an extra supply of pills.   I carry a supply in weekly containers and my husband carries the same amount in zip lock bags with the pill bottle label on them. Thus for a 30 day trip, together we take a 60 day supply.    Will this be an issue in Japan.  And when I send in a request for pre approval, do we have to list the amount we are bringing in?    The one time I did not take extras, I was quarantined for two weeks with Covid and the island could not get me two of my meds.  That is why we carry extra.    Thanks

I asked my regular doctor’s nurse for my list of meds and she sent a sheet that includes everything needed.  The last one is Ambien so I will white that one out.    So I am scratching the one from Costco.

Thanks so much for your reply.   I saw those tags yesterday when I was looking for bags.   I thought about a red bag but most are labeled EMT and I don’t think I should carry one of those.
  I stopped at Costco yesterday and they gave me a printout of my prescriptions I have gotten in the last three months.  It includes drug, strength, doctor, address and is signed by their pharmacist.  When I had a phone visit with the nurse practitioner last week she said I would need a list from each doctor - I get them from 4.   Or can I use the printout that comes with each prescription I pick up,   I have not received an original prescription for years since they call them in. - what is an original prescription?
Our next trip is to Japan and I need preapproval for the cpap and Tens and I wanted to include all our meds so I don’t run into issues at customs.
On Mychart, I can print off my list of meds.  Has anyone used that list without any issues?   
What is the best method to show what meds we take?

Again, thanks for any help.

I just picked up my cpap machine and it came with a nice carrying bag but I also need to bring my tens machine. Our next trip is 4 weeks and I always take too much stuff. I have a rolling carry on plus a backpack as my personal item.    Now I need the cpap case🤷‍♂️.    I am thinking I would like to get a bag for my cpap, tens, medication and my fold up cane (to store on the plane).   Have any of you combined some of your medical items with your cpap machine?    If so, have you had a problem with meds included in the bag?   I have a cube I call my pharmacy bag.      Also, would it be better to have a red bag with medical on it so I don’t have to explain what it is at customs,  especially in non English speaking countries?   Thanks for any help.

I normally don’t listen to many reviews since you never know how many are REAL.   The thing I didn’t care for is that they only run every hour.   Have had it happen that the van is full and then we have to wait an hour.  Or it goes past us as we walk out the door.    I will give the hotel a call and ask how many vans they have.   We were just at a Hyatt in Dallas and they had four vans so you did not have to wait very long.   
Thanks for your comment.

My scooter folds into the size of larger suitcase-I found UberX easily handled mine-Driver(s) also happily (?) loaded it for me 🙂

I have developed neuropathy from my chemo treatments and I think it is time to purchase a scooter.   Last cruise we saw a lady going down to the plane with a nice looking one.  When we got to the door, it was folded up and we commented that it would be perfect for our travels. 
Could you tell me where you purchased it and what brand you have.   
Thanks so much.

i agree with others that there are many vehicles available to transport you and your scooter.  Enjoy your cruise.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I did search reviews on the Hampton Inn and was disappointed to read about their shuttle.   No name on van so hard to find and only runs every hour.  Hate it when we just miss one and have to stand for an hour.   Plan to call Hilton this weekend.    Thanks again

Any suggestions for a hotel with shuttle close to Miami airport that won’t break the bank for my son and daughter in law.  Just need it to sleep- extras are not important.     Busy all day and have early flight home.   Thanks

I am working on changing the flight.  Skipping Lima and flying direct to Atlanta.

thanks again.

Thanks Catherine,   Our flight is DL6086.

i found another flight leavening EZE a couple hours later direct to Atlanta.   I messaged Delta - still out at sea so could not call.   At first I thought he could get it changed.   we would not be able to sit close to each other.  But then he said I needed to call the travel agency - that would be Celebrity.  I could go down to the desk and see if anyone on board could help us but this guy said he would transfer me to ticketing support.

i guess I would prefer two connections rather than three.

i should have jumped on this as soon as I saw it but celebrity does things differently than other cruise lines - to change a flight you have to call them and they only give you two choices.  I am use to Princess where you can go online and change your flights anytime.

Wow, thanks for the fast reply.   I looked up seat layouts on seat guru and only found them with 3 seats for the airbus A320.  - like you said - no different from economy.   That did not make me happy.   BUT looking at my account with Delta, when I go to seat selection , it shows only 2 seats on each side.

i am hoping that is the case.   and not three seats.  I have leg issues and can not handle the middle seat especially for 5 hours.  that is a long flight.   And I will be very unhappy to spend half of my business class flight that I paid more for then the 2 week cruise.

i guess there is nothing we can do. 
 

At least you said they honor Delta’s baggage allowance. 
 

oh,  what about carry ons

will we be able to take a wheeled carry on plus a backpack?

thanks again.

We are on a Celebrity cruise and will be flying from Buenos Aires to Lima on Latam airlines.   We booked through Delta airlines and they partner with them.  We booked Business class test we have premium seats on Latam.   I have tried for months to get seat assignments but no luck.  There are several single seats that look opened but says they can not be assigned.   So, number one, I hope we have seats.

Then my second question is about our luggage.   They say only one bag.  We get two free bags with Delta and they can be 70 pounds each.   
Does Latam honor Delta’s rules or will we have to pay for extra bags,   And then it sounds like the have carry on restrictions.  We each have a carry on plus backpack.   Will we be allowed to take both on board??

Also, will we have to pick up our bags and go through customs or will our bags go straight through.   We are on the ship now so I am unable to call Delta.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.   Thanks so much

I am having the same issues with my husbands.  Sent new pictures two weeks ago.   Ages ago, I needed to resend two items.    I heard back the next day it was approved.   We leave tomorrow.   We don’t need the visas but since I paid, I want them!

Check out the roll call for yesterday’s cruise.  Many people posted

Before purchasing  passes, check to see what their restrictions are.  Many only allow you to enter three hours prior to your flight. 

Davencl, so happy for you.

There are some cruiselines offering guidance. It would be helpful to either identify the line that you are on so that you can be referred to the notices.

Yes, I have been keeping up to date on the cruiselines that are offering help.   We are on Celebrity - our first cruise with them.   One of the members of our group, contacted them but they offered no help.

I am a little worried about our applications.    So many say they had a response within a couple days saying they needed to resend something back.    Sent them in a week ago.  Still says submission success.
 

 How long were others at the submission success state?

WOW,  First thing this morning I pulled up the email asking if I was still interested in the upgrades and a different screen came up.  One category at a time.   I put in the amounts for each one and everything went smoothly.   No idea why it was different but I am all set.  Thanks to everyone that helped.  I really appreciate all the time you all spent trying to help me.  It paid off!
still no OBC is coming up but forget that.   I need to start figuring out my packing.

thanks again.    I wish all of you a great New Year 

Wish I could.   The payment page does not come up.    It is the next page after I select my bid using that slide but the box with continue to payment method will not respond.

Correct, I didn't  think they went through                  So why can't I start over?             

 Thanks again for everyone trying to help.

None of my bids come up on that page saying pending.

I never received an email confirming my bids.   As I said I was ready to add my payment type but stopped before I did that.   The first email about bidding was to say I was eligible.  The second one came two days later asking if I was still interested in bidding.   The page that keeps coming up is the page with all the cabin categories with that slide for the bid amount.   It showed the amounts that I had marked.  I could not move the slide.    Down at the bottom right is a block that says continue but mine was not highlighted so I could not click on it.    

I have tried to start over from that first email..  putting in my last name and booking number.but my original bid page always comes up/   

micruiser2002, that page never appeared. 

I really appreciate all the help!!!

yes I cleared the history several times.   My cabin is fine but just is so frustrating.   May be my last cruise with them

Be warned that even if you Win a MoveUp bid on A higher categorie cabin it could end up in a less than desirable location. 

 That could be why that cabin was available because nobody booked it.

 That happened to me once last year so now I consider that possibility when bidding.

I am aware of this.  Thanks
