My feet swelled so badly on a back2back, I couldn’t get my shoes on. (Had to wear cheap flip flops everywhere). We have a 13 day coming in January so hopefully will not have a repeat issue. Thanks for the suggestion. I love my Skechers slip on, very flexible and I don’t need to bend down to put them on and they come in size 15😁😁 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those with reservations should be seated first. Next cruise is Celebrity with an early, 6 PM, dining time. Not sure what we will do moving forward. Good luck! Just off Celebrity Eclipse, and experienced the same situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google or Youtube " how to dry brush" I put on Eliemis oil and start brushing up from my toes, front and back of legs, all the way up my body to my heart and then down from neck to heart, it helps with circulation. I would do it after showering and before bed it has helped me with swelling. I will look into that. Thank you. 10 hours ago, Etta1213 said: You might ask your MD if you could take something like Lasix? To ease any stress to your heart? My dh has a pacemaker and has to be on Lasix daily; I'm not sure if it can be used occasionally such as when traveling. He's also on potassium three times a day. Please take special care of yourself; you matter a lot to us; you're irreplaceable. Good idea thanks. 9 hours ago, Jimbo said: or stop drinking while on a cruise and see what happens. 😉 Blasphemy!!!! 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife also takes BP medicine with a diuretic in it. Has helped control some of the swelling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG, when Dave and I saw the score near the end of the game, we almost fell off of our seats! 🤣 What the heck happened?

He said they just played really bad and Denver played a great game and deserved to win. I have suspected the Chiefs all season long with having weak receivers. None of them knew how to get open and they dropped a lot of balls. The defense played well but Kansas City's inability to score in the red zone has been problematic all year. This does not look like a Super Bowl contender yet. New video coming soon. I think you will like it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted October 30, 2023 Author #1087 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) A Dog's Day at the Soggy Dollar! With so much amazing video, pictures and drone footage compliments of Captain Tom from Chillout Charters. I made another video for all of you to enjoy. As you can see @Sea Dog, @jmh2006, @Momof3gurlz and @Husky1987 had an amazing time. This was a dream come true for me to visit this magical place. I will go back as Jost Van Dyke is now in my DNA.

kellyco Posted October 30, 2023 #1091 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I'm happy to hear you liked the Riverside Hotel. We booked it for our upcoming Beyond cruise in May and then came across your review. Will you do a review of the Beyond? I would be interested to see what you think of it. It will be our first trip on Celebrity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare perfect match Posted October 31, 2023 #1099 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Great video, SeaDog! It most definitely makes me want to book a trip with Captain Tom at Chillout Charters! I hope that your knee surgery goes well. It’s on Friday, I think 🤔. You’ve been through having one knee replaced so you already know the drill and how important is is to do your post surgery rehab. By the time you sail on Beyond you’ll be walking pain free and wondering like I was when we went on my “Freedom of the Knees” cruise why it took so long to go ahead and get my replacements done. Yes, that cruise was on Freedom of the Seas 😂 and yes, we had a great cruise! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
