I used to use the shampoo in the dispenser but my hair would get a slicked down looking kind of waxy/greasy by the end of the cruise. It was dirtier than if I'd not even washed it all week. It took a little research but I discovered sulfates in shampoo can cause that when using the reverse osmosis salt water.

So now I always take a sulfate free shampoo and my hair comes clean.

It looks like it was a wonderful tour and makes me confident to use this method on my trip to Gibraltar!

I may have missed it but did your tour fee include the entrance fees to the places you went?

My guess would be the repairs will be made in Freeport. I'm not surprised they added it to the next weeks itinerary. I have been aboard a cruise that needed repair and Grand Turk was suddenly dropped mid cruise and changed to an overnight in Freeport to make repairs.

We got it too! Hubby asked if I was surprising him......too bad I'm not.

WE just got off the Pride and there was no cover band BUT We had a great time in the Piano Bar with Roger whose brothers are Blood Power and he used to be with them. But no band.

Here ya go cmjaffe-

I hope you enjoy it!

Mix till smooth with electric mixer-

4-8 ounce pkgs. cream cheese softened

¾ cup splenda- more or less to suit your taste-2/3 to 1 cup

add-

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/3 cup sour cream

When this is all mixed together add -

4 eggs slightly beaten

Do not over beat once the eggs are in, just til blended

Pour the mixture into springform pan that you have sprayed with vegetable spray and lined the bottom with parchment. Bake the cheesecake in a 300-degree preheated oven with a pan of water on the shelf under it for 1 hour and reduce heat to 200 degrees for 1 more hour. Turn oven off and leave cheesecake in until the oven is completely cool. The cheesecake can even be left overnight at this point. Cracks can occur when a cheesecake cools too quickly. Run a knife around the edge of the pan, separating it from the sides of the pan, and gently remove springform. Then transfer cheesecake to serving plate.

I'm happy to find this thread!

My husband and I both had good success a couple years ago before our first cruise with Atkins. Both lost around 30 pounds. Unfortunately we went to trying other diets and have decided after being back up to nearly our pre-atkins weight, that we need to get back on it!

We are both tall (5'9" and 6'2") and hold our WAY too many lbs(236 and 255) well but feel uncomfortable and sluggish most the time.

I actually started 100 days before our next cruise on a "sensible low cal, low fat, all natural and organic" type diet along with a lot of exercise. I wasn't losing noticable anything till this week when we both decided we would Do Atkins again! Now I'm losing!!! 5 lbs already since Saturday.

Believe it or not I have been eating cheesecake everyday! Have even had it for breakfast! (made with Splenda and no crust)

Well I gotta go get on the eliptical and do my time for the day...already did the resistance stuff. Hoping for a big difference in 72 more days!

I'll be back for more encouragement! Thanks for being here.
