I'm sure your July cruise will be packed with lots of fun. I enjoy watching the look in the eyes of new cruisers, especially the little ones. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key is $42.99. I think you have a great price.... if it is not a mistake. Not a mistake as far as I know. It is a Radiance Class ship so not that many great discounts, besides Lunch on Embarkment day, Internet for my Wife and I. Also this is a14 day cruise with 3 tender ports (that was one of the reasons to get the Key too). Price now is $28.99..............I wouldn't even consider it though at that price, but when I saw it go to $19.99 said why not. Internet currently $17.99 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna go out on a ledge here but Gaaaaaary is a pig. Although I may have said something similar in Season 1. Daisy us starting to act like Hannah, just before she was canned. Informational tidbit here... my best friend's daughter is in FLL going through yacht training right now. She said if anyone were to act like this bunch no one would be hired.

Rare Sea Dog Posted June 27, 2023 #96892 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Well I talked to my doctor brother who looked at my MRI of my left knee. His first comment was "wow, what in the hell did you do to your knee." He said the MRI showed him that I hade a extruded meniscus and is basically torn and beat to s%&t. He also thinks I may have a torn ligament plus bone spurs. I basically have no cartilage and basically a torn ACL. He's surprised I can even walk on it as it looks so bad. He then went on say a bone marrow transplant would not help me and that it might be better to just get another knee replacement. Needless to say I am very depressed but if it means doing something to get better I will do it. Here are the MRI"s. I have no idea what I'm looking at but my brother put arrows where there is something going on. Maybe the good doctor, @Ocean Boy can look at them and give me his expert opinion. MRI 1 MRI 2 MRI 3 MRI 4 Trouble is now Linda needs hand surgery to repair bone on bone by her thumb. so we need to try and schedule that before our October cruise. Then schedule me a knee replacement in November to hopefully make our April Celebrity cruise. Looks like the holidays may be a bummer around here. Thanks for letting me rant. 21 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just started researching our next cruise's stop in La Spezia. We've been lucky to make several land trips to Italy, and the only city "missing" is Lucca. The "problem" is that all the tours "combine" Pisa & Lucca. How did you get to Lucca? Thanks 🌹 I did a report on La Spezia in the Italian port forum. It was mainly on the Cinque Terra ports though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sorry to hear its bad news re your knee Greg. Thank goodness we have the technology these days to repair/replace though I know you had a difficult time when you had the first knee done. I hope the Dr's can do some kind of temporary fix while you wait for the op to give you more movement 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's disappointing Greg. But better to know, than not know. And it is wonderful to have a diagnosis and opinion from someone you trust implicitly. I love my orthopedic surgeon. I wanted to have hip resurfacing instead of a full hip replacement. He is young, and very engaged. He pursed his lips and shook his head, and said, "No can do. Not a candidate. You need a full replacement." ☺️ We don't always get what we want. And maybe this one will go better. Ask @NHProud who her husband's surgeon was? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very expensive. You mentioned Home2Suites in your post. We were booked there on one of our cancelled cruises. But also check the Hampton Inn pricing. Home2Suites and Hampton are in the same building/complex and have the same amenities, free breakfast, etc. It is kind of weird, they are in the same building. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
