While it is far from reality on a cruise ship (example the doc’s cabin) I take it for what it is a fictional tv show. I’ll give it a season to see if it improves. The guy that created it is the same guy behind the show 911 whose latest episode is about a swarm of killer bees and abeenado. My expectations are already low. We like the characters on 911, but I don't know how much longer we can watch, I swear the situations get more & more ridiculous all the time. I mentioned this before, but last season had the 3 part with the cruise ship sinking. Just like what I've seen said about Dr. Odyssey, the person who wrote that and the set designers have never stepped foot on a cruise ship. Hell, I doubt they've even seen a picture of anything except the outside profile of a cruise ship. The pool scenes look like they were shot at a nearby hotel, and the whole situation was so unrealistic. Our Hokey-meters went off the scale. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaniDanielle Posted Saturday at 09:16 PM #129728 Share Posted Saturday at 09:16 PM (edited) @Sunshine3601Debbie, I certainly can relate. It’s always something! Although Charlie is pretty good about checking with transplant doctor about meds. Almodopline is pretty potent by itself.

A hotel near the airport is safe as I'm worried my tracfone wouldnt work to call uber unless I add an international card. Airport hotels have shuttles but i guess I'd still have to call. Seemed like all of Ken's people added the leg from Vancouver to calif and calif to ft Lauderdale..so yesterday i did too, as the hurricane came in lol. Sorry Jane, I didn’t stay in Vancouver. I was on the ship as I am doing a B2B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Aunt and Uncle in Sarasota, who have their Condo at the very end of the Causeway, have lost their two cars due to the surge, nothing more, which is amazing, due to the horrific devastation caused by this event. Everyone we know in Florida fared well also. Glad to hear your condo is ok. We checked in with Eric's Cousin and our friends in Clearwater yesterday and they were spared. They had some brief power outages but no damage. My Boss who has a house in Cape Coral said their road had some flooding but only made it up their driveway a couple of feet and their boat looked to be fine as well. He did say that noone in his block can say the same. Some people down the street that recently finished repairs to their homes from last year's hurricane Ian were once again flooded. The devastation in so many states is so very sad and last I heard there is 52 people who died and millions with no electricity. 😪 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Direct with no perks the cheapest is $443. I cant yet see on Priceline who shows prices same as airlines about 11 months out. Expedia and hotels , com the same and show further out than most sites. Both are quoted in American dollars. I have a while to look. This hotel claims to be the top hotel in north vancouver, the Pinnacle hotel. They will give me a even bigger discount.

They are very close to the cruise port, walkable with no luggage, but we always get a taxi to the port for around $10. People do walk with luggage but not how I want to start my cruise. It is in a nice, safe area with gorgeous views of the harbor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say it’s a luxury liner and some indoor scenes reminded me of the Queen Mary 2 where even dogs get their own area . It’s fiction and probably getting some backing from the cruise lines to entice people to cruise. No one has mentioned the fictional passengers who are nearly all young , pretty , handsome, thin and vivacious. Where are the gray haired folks ? My hubby is from St Paul . My SIL attended the Central High school reunion a week ago and both she and her spouse have a very bad case of Covid . She was treated at the Mayo Clinic.

I know a lot of places got hit bad in Florida but I am hearing a lot of the deaths are from North Carolina. Entire towns have been wiped out due to the flooding. Have seen pictures of Chimney Rock's main street before and after, sad. Asheville is cut off as many of the highways are washed out. Hearing they don't even know the magnitude as power is out and communications are limited. Hearing conflicting stories on Biltmore, their website says closed for next 2 days but check back, they are just outside Asheville. Overall sad situation in the mountains of NC. Unfortunately hurricanes can impact many miles inland. Edited Saturday at 11:03 PM by akcruz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now mind you, they give you quite a large amount on your plate. There was a large man behind me on line who mentioned that it was his 3rd time getting the shrimp. Unbelievable, but they're out there!!🤨 And they are quite a good size too. You won't need a magnifying glass to see them.

Time sure does fly by these days. I was thinking Ian was last September. I saw some photos on the news of Ft Myers - so sad. And they didn't even get a direct hit. I think if I went through 2 hurricanes destroying or severly damaging my home or business within 2 years I would move.

Rare A&L_Ont Posted Saturday at 11:55 PM #129749 Share Posted Saturday at 11:55 PM (edited) Just watched the first episode of Dr Odyssey. We found it to be decent, over the top as others noted. I can see how @Ocean Boy would take issue with the unrealistic nature of the surgical procedures, over and above the large medical centre. The broken male appendage and over board rescue are possible but the quick positive outcomes are not reflective of the real cruise world. Will we continue to watch, yes and see where it goes from there. I did like the following quote from the show. There should be zero guilt on a pleasure cruise.

After they are linked, it will show “My Cruise” for yours, and the others will show up as “linked cruise”. You will be able to make reservations, or do check in times for everyone once they are linked. I had three linked for our Utopia sailing, and have two linked for Icon next summer. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
