  1. BMI is about one step above worthless and that is on the best of days. All it looks at is ht and wt and takes zero account of body composition. I take care of loads of teenage athletes who come out as obese by BMI but they have next to no fat on them and loads of muscle. Lean body mass throws off their BMI. I calculate body fat % as it gives you a much better health picture. Also, some people blood pressure is very reactive to weight changes while others will gain or lose wt and their pressure doesn't move.
  2. I have the same concerns about eating the local foods as you. I mostly eat on the ship. I also prefer itineraries that don't include any private stops. I'd much rather explore an island or even just walk around town.
  3. So how long before RCI lowers the number of nights threshold for this to kick in so that it will apply to many more cruises?
  4. I haven't said much because I also really have no words. I also know that if I delve into world politics I'll be rolling the Monopoly dice. Watching the news today was truly sickening.
  5. I like St. Thomas but I would be fine with a change to PR. I always look forward to returning there. I'd be less happy losing St. Maarten.
