Hopefully somebody can help --- several years ago we were in Cabin 8118 on the Eurodam....that cabin was under an uncarpeted area of the Lido buffet so we heard chair scraping every night when cleaning was taking place. We have a hold on Zuidy Cabin 8099 & would like to hear from somebody who's been in that cabin....we know it's under the Lido & I copied & printed the deck plan for both decks 8 & 9 to compare but can't really tell. There are other cabins to pick from but we like the extra room in the bump cabins. TIA!

It's not that I like butter -- it's that I'm allergic to soybean & canola oils.

For my eggs in the Lido I requested they be cooked with butter, not oil. Watched as the cook wiped out the pan & used butter 🙂 so I think they would honor your request.

I think you meant hula....

Living in Bremerton we always spend the night before our flights by SeaTac - whether we drive around or use the Airporter....just a little bit more sleep in the morning.

February/March 2023 - Hawaii/Tahiti, etc. ---never a cruise that long again.

Report on my neurosurgeon visit -- I need a spinal fusion at L4-5. 3 days in the hospital, then home with PT rehab....waiting to get it scheduled. He said the laminotomy I wanted would eventually fail & that then I'd need the fusion....so.... We are planning on our usual 2 week stay in Maui in March so I want it done & to be 100% by then.

True -- finally figured out the glitch -- my dr. wasn't the one who ordered the CT when I was in the ER so she needs to communicate with him or the hospital to get it....I have gotten other discs in the past without all this hassle.

@dfish I think I'm playing the same waiting game with CT discs....had a CTA in early May when I was in the ER for extreme shortness of breath....no real diagnosis but there were nodules noted on my diaphragm & my pulmonologist wanted a follow up scan --- had that done at Kaiser a couple of weeks ago but they only sent a report, not a copy of the disc. Got a call today from the pulm, office asking me to request the disc from one of the places but I'm so confused --- I'm putting the ball back in the dr's court....it shouldn't be up to me to get them the report I don't think.

I just donated a RipSkirt to a local charity.

Do you have CO --- you might try Guest Services -- there's a CO Priority line.

Our room stewards gave us their card on the 1st day --- that's what we put in the slot.

So would mine -- he only did 4 years in the Navy but he loves sea days....me - not so much.

It is crazy --- my pain doc's PA wanted me to have an EMG (why I don't know 'cause I have no neurological symptoms) anyway the next available appointment was in February!!! I told her no, thanks.

@StLouisCruisers & @cat shepard I'm Pat & hubby is Mike....

I'm sorry your appointment provided no answers...hopefully we'll both get some good advice from the surgeons we're seeing.

@JazzyV & @dfish Since you 2 & I are suffering from pain & nothing's helping,(PT, pain patches, etc.) I've discovered 2 Extra Strength Tylenol every 8 hours is keeping my pain under control...better than Mobic & Tramadol.---- give it a try. And I managed to get an appointment next Wednesday with the Neurosurgeon that did my hubby's cervical neck fusion.....YAY!!!

Any idea what's in the cleaner?

Well I'm kind of back to square one with my back/leg pain....it's a solid 6 for pain....now I'm going to be referred to a neurologist for an EMG & to the spine surgeon I self-referred myself to....want to get the show on the road.

@ger_77 One hotel I wouldn't recommend is Dania Beach Springhill Suites....haven't stayed there in a few years but have stayed there twice....rooms are adequate but worn & dated, breakfast was/is a laugh -- grab & go lukewarm food. There was/is an airport shuttle & same for a cruise port shuttle -- airport one was free, reasonable cost for the port - make a reservation in the lobby. Burger King the only close restaurant, some further away but mostly walkable. If anybody does stay there, I'd appreciate an update in case we do another Caribbean cruise. Just checked Trip Advisor --- gets pretty bad reviews recently.

Mine is severe stenosis at L4-5.....& yes, the surgeon is at Swedish Ortho Institute (Jeff Garr).

Your DH's procedure sounds like what my hubby had for his cervical fusion. I'm hoping not to need a laminectomy or a fusion....we'll see.
