travelgoddess1 Posted January 19, 2015 #201 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Well we have bad news for Rose Hall. I am not sure how I did it but early yesterday I pulled something in my lower back. Marie thinks it was the luggage on the first day. Either way it is killing me and had just been getting worse. It's not the first time I have done this and I know what works is just staying immobile add much as possible. So we are going to stay on board tomorrow with maybe just a brief trip down to the pier. Tomorrow is my actual birthday and that is not how I wanted to spend it. But if I rest tomorrow and the at sea day hopefully I will be ok for Cozumel.

Maybe they will have a port day special, but you also have a coupon on your seapass card. :) And I see that you have resorted to my favorite remedy, alcohol. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrobyn Posted January 20, 2015 #202 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I will weigh in on lower back advice... Ice it every half hour if you can, try and move around slowly to keep the muscles from remaining in spasm. Oh, and the most important thing....bend at the knees! This too shall pass - hopefully you will wake up on your Birthday relatively pain free :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCWalton1 Posted January 20, 2015 Author #207 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Just to wrap up the evening we ate at Sabor or on the Boardwalk. We had the made at the table guacamole to start then we shared the chicken & corn empanadas and beef tacos. That was a lot of food and pretty good too. Much much better than Rita's Cantina. (Of course most anything is better than Rita's ) After we made a donation to the slot machine gods and are calling it a night.

Sunny AZ Girl Posted January 20, 2015 #209 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Bill, I hope your back feels better. Can you get a refund on your Hilton Rose Hall day tomorrow? If so, take the money and get a massage as Norine suggested! That would be the best birthday present of all.:) That is on my short list for Jamaica, too.

denamo Posted January 20, 2015 #210 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Ugh! Back issues are the worst. Sorry to hear you are having to endure that pain. Hope you're able to get some relief. Thanks for posting the pictures of CATS and Labadee. Have eaten at Sabor on the Navigator and glad they've added this to the Oasis. Hope your day is perfect tomorrow! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

kandj05 Posted January 20, 2015 #211 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Bill, for the next 24 hours, please do the following. Alternate between ice and heat on your back. If you can, take Ibuprofen to decrease the inflammation. And most importantly...REST. Good luck with your back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you tomorrow Sent from my Galaxy Note 3 using Tapatalk We have also eaten at Sabor's, on Navigator. During dry dock, they put it into the former "Dungeon," or whatever the disco was called, adjacent to the Schooner Bar on Deck 4. Loved the tableside guacamole preparation! Pete and I ate there several times during the two weeks we were onboard. Lots of good advice here for your easing your back pain, I hope it is better today!

maggieq Posted January 20, 2015 #219 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Thanks for posting and happy birthday. Can you tell me if you found the diamond/diamond plus (former concierge lounge) overly crowded? Also, do you know who the concierges are? Thanks!

PCWalton1 Posted January 20, 2015 Author #221 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Good morning everyone and thank you for all the birthday wishes. When I woke it felt worse but that may have been from lying still for so long. As the morning add progressed my back feels more manageable. But I think we will be spending most of my birthday on board. Better to be safe than sorry. We did make it up to Windjammer for breakfast Sent from my Galaxy Note 3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me if you found the diamond/diamond plus (former concierge lounge) overly crowded? Also, do you know who the concierges are? Thanks! I guess it's how you classify overly crowded. We showed up about 5:15 and Deck 11 looked to be filled with the folks that stake out the early seats. [emoji14] We went up to deck 12 which was about three quarters full. by the time we left there was a lot of empty tables on 11.

PCWalton1 Posted January 20, 2015 Author #223 Share Posted January 20, 2015 After breakfast we took a stroll through the Promenade. We have not pulled into port yet so you would think there would be more people out. I guess it is because all the shops are closed. We stopped in Starbucks and I purchased my new favorite drink, a flat white. Sent from my Galaxy Note 3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieq Posted January 20, 2015 #224 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Ooh a flat white. I have seen them advertised. Might have to trade my latte in for a flat white tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCWalton1 Posted January 20, 2015 Author #225 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Ooh a flat white. I have seen them advertised. Might have to trade my latte in for a flat white tomorrow. They are good. Our Australian friends invented it I think in the 70s. It's similar to a latte but a higher percentage of coffee to milk. And they use a ristretto espresso shot which is a shorter and more concentrated shot. Sent from my Galaxy Note 3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
