Thanks for the heads up!

Going the first night is of the utmost importance! And remember most, if not all, of the kids are with their families. All are looking for new friends!

I just got of the silhouette this morning and Did Zumba every day...enjoy!

Huh! If it is suppose to be stiff then why do guys fold your pizza slice before you eat it? :rolleyes: lol

I don't fold my pizza!

I like Voss water. It is not sold on board

My children always had a great time on Celebrity ships.

Make sure that your kids go the first night! Everyone is receptive to meeting new friends.

I have spent time in both St Pete's and Moscow. With your limited time, I would suggest seeing St P only. So much more to see, much more beautiful. May I ask, what do you want to see in Moscow?

Whether or not the INR could be done on the ship may be irrelevant. The problem lies in the fact that your Coumadin (I'm assuming you're on an anti-coagulant) would need to be adjusted depending on the results. You would either have to be in constant contact with your land physician to find out how to adjust the dose because I'm quite sure the ship's physician would not want to take on that responsibility.

 

My husband was on Coumadin several years ago and we could never travel because he ha to have his PT/INR done every other day and be in constant contact with his physicial. His medication was then changed to Aggrenox and we are now able to travel feely. Aggrenox does not need to be monitored. Maybe you could ask your physician about changing meds? The only downside to Aggrenox (they warned my DH beforehand) is that you will most likely experience rather severe headaches for 2 weeks. After that the headaches resolve.

 

Good luck!

Aggrenox and Coumadin are NOT the same. I know that INRs are done on many ships and the doctor on board will dose. How do I know this? I work in a "Coumadin clinic" and always advise pts to call when they return from cruising and let us know this info. I would just check with your specific ship to make sure the INR machine is on board. Enjoy your cruise!

Thanks for the review. We'll be on her Saturday!

I was on the Indy in December. I carried my luggage off, through customs, rode in a shared van that filled up in 5 mins and at the airport at 7:45

Thanks Andy for the info. I am hopeful that the Spa Experience will be improved. I just love the hot rock massage. :D

Great attitude! I'm sure your next cruise will be much better :D

No, she will not be allowed in the teens club. When my children were that age, they always met other kids, some older,some younger. The hot tub in the evening was a popular meeting place.

There will be a few hours of open "free" time in the arcade thru the kids club.

You simply do a mock booking on RC's website and compare the current price to the price you booked at.

Yep :)

It's fun for a guy from Oregon to hear of someone from Florida complaining about traveling. Now you know how we feel. :)

 

Tom

Lol!! I was thinking the exact same thing :cool:

Looking forward to your review. We sail on her the 23rd :)

Thank you :)

If a person falls off the stool, is that considered abandonment?

 

Secondly, would finishing their drink be considered uncouth?

I say......go for it!

Hi, I also booked this for my cruise in April. Can you please let us know how it works out if you end up staying there. It seems to be as much as round trip transportation with a free hotel room. On the website it shows that it includes transportation to the Port of Galveston but in the confirmation it doesn't say anything about the transportation, so it would be helpful to have confirmation that it worked for someone.

 

thanks

Doug, my cruise is in May :eek: could you let me know how this works out?

I may stay near the port; in the process of planning shared ride in a van with my roll call. :)

And they may not say so but they don't like you taking desserts from there unless your purchasing a specialty coffee ;)

This has never been my experience.

Book and pay for another cruise......now! ;) :D

We have not had a problem with thermostats on the S-class ships. They seemed to work pretty well from our experiences.

my thoughts exactly :)

!! LOL.... Sweeney Todd.... or maybe "the secret is in the sauce"... Fried Green Tomatoes???

I think that was the bar b que!

Other than formal nights, what is the dress code for men/women in the MDR? For the guys, is a button-down shirt plus nice pants (no tie or jacket) acceptable on those nights? Thanks in advance for your answer! (This is for a Caribbean cruise).

Just perfect!
