A few questions...

[SarahHben]

I've just thought of another question.... can you take food from the buffet or grill into the Retreat? I know the Retreat offers various food options but if I wanted to grab a few slices of pizza to eat in the Retreat is that allowed?

Also is Ventura's poolside grill likely to be open on embarkation?

Thanks

Thanks Jean. Is it Echinacea that you take before a cruise? I remember you saying ages ago that you take something to boost your immune system.

 

Meta analysis shows echinacea might have a preventative effect on the incidence of upper respiratory tract infections but whether this effect is clinically meaningful is debatable. The review I read did not find any evidence for an effect on the duration of upper respiratory tract infections.

The other big problem with unregulated herbal medicines is you really don't know what you are getting.

The best way to boost your immune system is to have a healthy diet and exercise, rather than dubious supplements.
