Hi everyone. I'm just recovering from Covid.

 

So here is a question for you. 

 

 

I think that may be Ken, aka @Ourusualbeach, might be more informed about the Canadian rules.

Maybe Renee could whip one up for your cruise?  It would take me about a month to roll all that fondant out to make that dog.

 

I did the amateur version when I made this cake for my daughter's graduation from nursing school.   i have to say, marshmallow fondant tastes really good.

 

 

You did a very good job. Marshmallow fondant does taste good. A lot of people don’t like fondant, but that’s usually because they have only tasted the commercial chemical tasting stuff.

Cuteness Alert!

When you have two new puppies it's hard to get one if not both to sit still long enough to take some pictures. Finally after about 3 weeks I got some decent shots of them. Here are Sir Charles "Charlie "(brown & white) and Lady Elizabeth "Lizzy." (black & white) sitting just long enough to have their pics taken.

 

 

 

 

 

Potty training still a little bit of a struggle, but with these faces we are more patient. They will get there.

So here is a question for you. Now that I have tested positive for Covid and people apparently can still test positive for 90 days + following infection, is there anyway I could cruise with Royal or X over the next couple of months? I can get into the States with a positive test if I also provide a letter from a healthcare professional stating I am well enough to travel and not contagious,  but I'm not sure if that will be acceptable to the cruise line(s). I know the cruise lines only need an antigen test, which is less sensitive, so I would likely test negative in two or three months time but I'm asking just in case.

Sorry you had it so bad.  We had it over Christmas and it was very mild.  The cold I had in November was far worse.

 

Royal does not make any exceptions to the antigen test and will not accept letters of recovery.

 

Royal only requires an antigen test which as you said is far less sensitive than the PCR test and nearly everyone tests negative 7-10 days after recovery.  It's the PCR test where you can test positive for many months.

 

Since you need the antigen test anyway depending on how you time it you can use the same antigen test for entry into the US and to board the ship.  Where you bonus is the return to Canada where your positive test will get you back in without testing or quarantine for 180 days

I took myself off Gabapentin .My Neurologist wants me to take Levodopa.

 

 

Wow, Lenny.  I've been on Gabapentin for several years now, no problems.  My sister did have problems with Gabapentin, but she was on a much higher dosage than me, and she had to get off of it. If I remember right, she began suffering from depression while on it.😢

I watched it this morning.I was hoping that it would be a non elimination race .

I was rooting for the team that was eliminated.

My two daughters who never watched the show are watching this season because of the Holderness couple.

Jim and I both were hoping that last night would've been a non elimination race also.  Perhaps due to the 19 month delay, they felt the need to start eliminating.

The Gabapentin made me very dizzy but I took it anyway for 9 months and it did not help me at all.People tend to react differently .

It was moved to the Floataway Lounge and brought back here. Obviously the CC mod squad thought about it and decided this fun thread created by  Dani belongs here. 🍻👍

Besides being the greatest thread in the history of cruise critic, I think one of the main reasons this thread was allowed to remain in place was for the clicks and traffic it created during the beginning of the pandemic when traffic was relatively low.  Im sure the traffic on this thread and “To add some humor” helped with the advertising income the last two years.  
 

Although I have never sailed on RCCL before, (elite on Princess and quite a few on NCL) I am now looking at it for future cruises due to the wonderful people on this thread.  
 

Hopefully this thread will remain for many years to come.

Mimi, how you and Dick are celebrating tonight? Low key, I assume.... until the chef with the mushy peas will be on his feet again 😁

 

Again, best wishes to you both, and have a lovely celebration 💐

Thank you. We’re going to a neighborhood steakhouse probably more for me than for Dick. He’d rather eat toast at home than sit in a restaurant!

When the sick have recovered and Jon has gotten off his crutches, we’ll have our feast. Dick enjoys family celebrations.
