#55worktoplay Posted November 1, 2019 #226 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I have troubles too when flying either ears or terrible colds that turn into lung problems. i actually stopped cruising for a few yrs now because unless I have the time to drive to Florida (2 days at best one way) I’m not getting on any plane to get on ship. i just recently found out about airborne so may have to try that. Hope you get this on the road to recovery when you see the doc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you get this on the road to recovery when you see the doc. Flying is terrible for my ears too. My doctor has actually told me that anytime I have a flight coming up, I should take Sudafed (or a similar decongestant) the day before, the day of, and the day after my flight. This has helped immensely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I had to see the ship’s doctor, it was $300+. That hurt almost as much as an earache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been fighting an earache/ear infection for a few days now and will probably break down and see the Dr. onboard tomorrow. Kicking myself for not at least picking up a Z-pack in Cozumel. 😩 Hope your ear infection heals very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always travel (land and Sea) with a small bag of OTC and Rx meds (always a Z pack.). Hopefully you will be covered. Most cruise insurances cover a visit to the ship infirmary. I hope that you have some relief and can enjoy the rest of the trip. You both look terrific in your costumes. By the way, did you ever go to that wine party held by the White House crasher? (Sorry, can’t remember his name and I am too lazy to search for it) have fun m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symphony is the only ship docked here at Coco Cay (thank goodness). I know two ships are supposed to be fine crowd-wise, but c’mon, there’s 6000+ people on our ship. Right now the crowd level feels perfect. We do have neighbors though. NCL ships at Greater Stirrup Cay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aring75 Posted November 1, 2019 Author #242 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Things are looking a little ominous. We’ve been here an hour and twenty minutes. So far, our cabana attendant has not been by since he showed us to our spot. I finally broke down and got our drinks myself. Then the sun came out and all was right with the world once again.

wolfganghowell Posted November 1, 2019 #243 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Great review - it's the next best thing to being there. Another bad flyer - my ENT told me Mucinex D 2 days before flying, use Afrin before takeoff and chew gum. I go all out or my ears will pop forever. 😞 You almost have me changing my mind to stay onboard in Costa Maya. I've heard so much about Maya Chan - all of it good. But the beach there is just not Roatan or Cozumel. be interesting to see how your two weeks contrast. hope you heal quick! Thanks for taking us along. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right about that. But the service is so amazing you just kind of accept that it’s a lounge on the beach kind of day. They do have kayaks and paddle boards (all included). The water just isn’t that crystal clear Caribbean you get accustomed to on these cruises. We are on Coco Cay in a cabana right now. The water is 10x better here, but the service was 10x better at Maya Chan. Hands down. And we paid less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aring75 Posted November 1, 2019 Author #245 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I think our cabana attendant just forgot that we are here. Over two and a half hours later, we still hadn’t seen him. We went and got lunch at the “Chill Grill.” The fries are fantastic, but the burger looks a lot better than it tastes. The Beach Bar Menu And the sun is out in full force now. Much prettier day in the Bahamas, and a beautiful way to spend the last day of the first half of our B2B. 👍😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aring75 Posted November 1, 2019 Author #246 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Also, directly in front of the cabana area is a small, protected lagoon. Apparently, there are quite a few sting rays hanging out in the vicinity today. It’s hilarious to hear the squeals when someone comes across one. Wish I was snorkeling. ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted November 1, 2019 #250 Share Posted November 1, 2019 On 10/31/2019 at 7:47 AM, cruise wizard said: We are having a lot of raccoons here on Hutchinson Island and seeing many squashed on the road everyday. There has been some swimming in our condo's pool - have had three trapped and carted off. We have been here for 5+ years and never have seen so many before. We have had a sudden decrease of them here in "the swamp". Now I know where they have all gone...can't blame them, you have a much higher end chunk of real estate to set up camp in. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
