I need both UVA and UVB protection (most have only UVA protection), and my dermatologist recommends LaRoche Posay Anthelios with Helix. They have a smaller one for face only and also for body.
It is more expensive than many, but you can get it at CVS or maybe Walgreens (I think CVS!) and it's like 30.00 a tube.
But it is what I have to use and I don't burn when using it.

I've enjoyed reading along.
We did this same cruise on the Fantasy and we are trying the Elation this time. We enjoyed Fantasy the most, so I think we are smaller ship people.
Last time in Progreso, we went to Uxmal and that was great and weathe not too hot in December.
Our two Cozumel went: 1) high winds and water tours cancelled. It was freezing. We ran to Chankanaab (sp??) for the dolphin excursion: dolphin was nervous and the swells were hard to manage. But we got it done and got the photo and had to leave because we were freezing-- goose bumps, blue lips, etc.
2) we went to Nachi Cocum and *loved* it. Would definitely go back but we wanted to try something so this time we are:
3) Twister boat and beach time booked through Carnival.
Its getting close! Im getting excited.

ES is a risk. You accept the risk up front. So far it has worked out for us, but we haven't had to change anything. I also make sure I get a liberal trip insurance policy.
-
We spend a lot of time on our balcony. It beats trying to fight chair hogs..
-
I need to get an extension cord. What length should I buy? (Suite on Elation if that helps anyone)

There is a new wireless, maskless CPAP on the market. Ask your doctor about this for traveling. I just saw the article about it today.
Just a thought.
It isnt on the market. It is a semi-tested, not FDA approved (or whatever)l no clinical trials (or whatever) and no studies (or whatever) device some nano technology dude wants Crowd sourced funding for to attempt to being to market.
It takes new batteries EVERY 8 hours. So if you have long sleep syndrome in addition to apnea, you are out of luck.
I also have small nasal anatomy and thus cannot wear any nasal devices. I have only worn a full face mask for 6 months.
His nasal device is interesting... But plenty of hurdles to overcome before it comes to market.
I applaud anyone trying to think outside of the box....

Thanks. I thnk we are going to stay on the ship in Progreso. What color wasmthe water there?

Yea, i was having so much fun and on such a good run at the casino last time that I told DH I was going to tea and went to the casino again lol. I went from zero points to free drinks in one afternoon, so I think I probably lost in the end but I had a ton of fun while playing.
(It wasn't 20 bucks a day.) no free cruise yet though...
I get the casino rate now.

The IATA was planning to reduce the size of carry ons, but it looks like trade groups dissented.
Its probably coming, though... Eventually...
-
Didn't I recently read that the carry on size is getting smaller too? Or charges for carry on? Seems I head something recently about new restrictions on luggage for airlines

Actually on our last cruise on the Breeze, dress shorts were allowed on Elegant Night and it was shown in Fun Times.
Good to know, thanks!
-
Tailored shorts and tropical shirts for all 7, 8 or more nights ,now that's a Caribbean cruise.
Agree!!
-
Oh well. I'm still going to get DH some shorts and tropical shirts anyway for father's day!
-
Did you see any tuxes on formal night? Any shorts in MDR on formal night?

i agree that tailored shorts allowed is great news. in fact, I am on my way to the upscale men's boutique in town to get DH some fresh tailored shorts and tropical shirts for our cruise and for father's day.
-
Tailored shorts are now acceptable in MDR on elegant night per a recent post about the fun times.
-
I just saw the post that tailored shorts and polo shirts are now acceptable for cruise elegant night.
See. Clearly very few people want to dress up any more.
-
I don't think it is nearly as big of a deal as you are making it out to be. I barely have seen people dressed up last cruise-- maybe 20% dressed more than say casual friday type clothes.
I think even casual elegant is becoming a thing of the past.

We did 5 in a suite on the Fantasy and it was fine. We had a rollaway bed.

-
We were in 17 foot seas on Fantasy (captain: not-a-too-bad) and it was ok. Kinda fun-- top deck closed because of winds.

I actually did buy trip insurance for a quick one person trip to Maine for a long weekend to visit a friend. I believe I paid something like $19.00 for it through insuremytrip.
My flight had mechanical issues and was delayed. We landed in Atlanta at 11:30 p.m. And they gave us a voucher for a motel 6. As a single woman traveling alone, I wanted a hotel that did not have doors which open to the outside.
Delta booked me at the Sheraton for 69.00. Then my second flight only got me go Boston, so I had to take a shuttle bus (25.00) to New Hampshire, where my friend picked me up.
So to the poster on page 1 who said he never gets insurance when traveling in the US-- I do! Every little bit helps these days with expenses.

Your getting some misinformation from some well intended people here.
Come on over to the Cruise Insurance forum here on the Cruise Critic board
http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=-1&f=635
You'll learn more about travel insurance than you ever wanted.
Please elaborate specifically on what the misinformation in rather that (or in addition to) referring us to a specific board. Thanks for that, but I found no mis information and I have used travel insurance for years and have had to make claims.
I can't find any misinformation. Do tell.
Thanks.

I use insuremytrip and I find I get more coverage for less. I ususally look for cancel at any time, for any reason, higher med evac coverage.

I also wear a hat (even in ocean) and I have recently starting wearing a long sleeve rash guard with SPF coverage. (land's end, which someone recommended above).
i am 45 now, so it's ON. I look younger than most my age and am fair skinned and burn easily, so its time for me to take it seriously.
And thanks to the poster who mentioned the SPF shorts.
