Safetyal Posted December 23, 2008 #101 Share Posted December 23, 2008 And you notice none of those people ever get out of the pool!!! :eek: That is why the warmest place in the pool, is by the pool bar. :eek::rolleyes::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoinCruisin Posted December 23, 2008 #102 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I believe at most pools they post rules---one being that anyone with an open wound may NOT use the pool! it's an ingrown toenail, not a knife wound :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibsones175 Posted December 23, 2008 #104 Share Posted December 23, 2008 These are very painful, why would you let your daughter remain in pain for several weeks? If it is open and oozing it has to hurt. Get her to the doctor immediately and have it taken care of. Then she can enjoy the cruise also, why make her suffer through the cruise?:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnylasvegas Posted December 23, 2008 #105 Share Posted December 23, 2008 We did our 2nd CCL cruise in Oct., third one this coming March. I pretty much decided back in Oct. that Carnival's swimming pools are not for me. I'm in my 50's but not in bad shape (bad back, of course) but I've had an easier time climbing in and out of a boat than getting out of these pools! Those steep ladders are awful!! So, this definitely makes up my mind now. I'll stick to the ADULT hot tubs from now on! My first reaction, though, was, "Sure, Mom, let your 11-year old go in---in the KIDDY pool, that is.' Finally, I have to add, if this little girl is going to have surgery after the cruise, she must be in some serious pain. I feel sorry for her! Hope they don't make her walk 3 miles at the first port they hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcpelly Posted December 23, 2008 #106 Share Posted December 23, 2008 This thread is going great. If we can keep it going with the grossness of the pools then I'm thinking that on my cruise next month i'll have the pools and hot tubs all to my friends and myself. More room for us that know what will and won't hurt you. As an aside after I do one of these ingrown nail procedures and parents ask if it is ok to swim afterwards I say that it's actually good for it to swim in a pool (same as chlorine or salt water soaks) but not to go in a lake, pond or river. Too much nasty stuff in there. I'm also in the group that don't like to see swim diapers in the pools. More of the potentially nasty stuff there as well as just plain gross.

cdn seeking heat Posted December 25, 2008 #107 Share Posted December 25, 2008 it's an ingrown toenail, not a knife wound :p "You there in the pool! Ya you, the one with the liver hanging out! You know the rules, out of the pool now!" lol, Lucy, your a riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayesouthworth Posted December 25, 2008 #108 Share Posted December 25, 2008 We've been on many cruises, and we have YET to ever use the pool. Why? Because I have witnessed babies in the pool with diapers on! Children don't get out of the pool to use the bathroom because they are having too much fun. I'd be afraid of getting e.coli--and I don't care how much chlorine they use, it's not safe. I only use the adult spas--if I see a child in one of them, I don't get in.

yearnin4cruisin Posted December 26, 2008 #111 Share Posted December 26, 2008 i was reading the other "pool" thread talking about whether or not the water is chlorinated... would it be safe for my daughter? she's 11 and is suffering from an ingrown toenail. it's doing better but still oozes a little on her sock during the day, so obviously it's "open". we put off her surgery until after the cruise for obvious reasons but now i'm a little worried about her getting it contaminated. She never said anything about oozing pus; just oozing. Take a breath people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More room for us that know what will and won't hurt you. I agree! Keep up all the gross, icky ideas about the pool and maybe next March I'll have one on the Miracle all to myself.

dan40 Posted December 26, 2008 #113 Share Posted December 26, 2008 She never said anything about oozing pus; just oozing. Take a breath people. The noun, "PUS" is silent. Like the "Z" in watermelon! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished reading it for the 5th time. It makes me laugh everytime. My daughter just walked across the room and asked why I'm laughing. Really now, how do I answer that question.
