You can get a sharps container through special needs and also a medical refrigerator if he needs it for medications. As far as his diet, hopefully, both you and he have met with a nutritionist by the time you cruise. My DH is also diabetic and his doctor had both of us meet with a nutritionist to help guide us through what he needs to eat. Eating certain foods together helps regulate his sugar and will help you control the highs and the lows. We find eating on a cruise very easy, just don't be afraid to ask them to substitute vegetables for starch or leave off sauces etc. It is a lot to take in at first, but it becomes old hat very quickly. You can cruise, don't cancel!

It is great you have such a supportive family. Just try to take care of yourself too. Sending prayers to all of you. 🙂

Just because someone comments about the behavior of a pinnacle does not make it bashing, it is just easier to identify who is acting like a fool if they are wearing a name tag. Anyone who has eaten in CK a lot has experienced passengers dressed as suggested by the cruise line and others dressed in their favorite novelty t-shirt and shorts. Maybe if they issue nametags to suite guests there will be less pinnacle comments....

I can only imagine! You are so little and he is tall! Can you get someone in to help you?

Sorry to hear that. 😞 He must be so sore. I hope he starts improving soon. I hope you are getting some sleep and aren't up worrying all night. 🙂

@DaniDanielle How is Charlie doing, Marietta?

Same here too. Been crazy windy since last night. Lots of branches down and a couple of little trees on the hill behind our house. Surprised we haven't lost power though.

Good to hear nothing is broken. I hope they gave him something to make him a little bit more comfortable while he heals. Make sure you take care of yourself too. 🙂

Thanks for updating us, sounds like admitting him was a good idea since he has so many other issues. I hope you were able to get some sleep last night.

You finally went on your cruise!! I hope you enjoyed it. As far as your medicine refrigerator, what you received is what we have gotten on many ships when we put a request into the Special Needs department. I must have missed when you asked about them prior to your cruise because I have posted similar pictures in the past. We have never had issues with the plug falling out and have never checked the temperature, interesting to see what it actually was in the one you had. The medicine we use it for is refrigerated but is okay at room temperature for 30 days, so we haven't been too concerned about the temp. We end up unplugging it after the medicine is used because we found that thing to be loud.

I am glad you took him to be checked out. Better safe than sorry. Sending good thoughts and prayers your way. 🙂

I have no idea. Others have complained before too. It would make sense to have some available.

The D1 cabins sleep four, the cabin that they are connected to only sleep two or three. They aren't booking every other cabin, they are just showing you cabins that sleep four.

Oh no, Marietta. I am glad your daughter is there too to drive home with you. I hope he heals quickly.

No, first and second nights can be very busy because those are the nights diamond + get a BOGO dinner option.

It is long gone on Radiance, just used for WJ seating though Mexican vibe still there.

I think it is fine. I would just correct the spelling of Odyssey. 🙂

They are headquartered in Stratham, New Hampshire. I drive by the entrance quite frequently on the way to my Mom’s house. They used to have a factory store in the plant with chocolate seconds, like empty truffle shells or broken bars etc. I think we just had too much of it. 🙂

Lindt is made in the US now and just doesn’t seem to be as good. I would get something different if I went to Switzerland, not something I can buy here in BJ’s.

No but they were involved in deflate gate 2.0 in December.

Sorry for your loss, Marietta. Sending prayers to all. 🙏🏻

LOL The "first thing that popped up" is likely a company that you have to pay to file your passport, otherwise known as click bait. Hopefully, that isn't where you are sending your daughter for information too. The official site states 6-8 weeks processing time. It also has information on Special Passport Acceptance Fairs that are happening all over the country. For the OP, here is the link that will help you apply for their passports. Much easier to fill out the form online and print it than doing it by hand. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports.html

Royal Caribbean's website does not allow more than five on one reservation, no matter the capacity of the cabin. It is archaic, but it is just how the system "works". It is better to just call and book directly since you need to make sure you can book five in the cabin. Sometimes larger capacity rooms, like the one you have booked, are limited to how many that can be booked because the lifeboat assigned to that cabin has reached capacity.

What website are you checking? The official passport website says 6-8 weeks.

Birth certificate and government issued picture ID is all that is needed on a closed loop cruise for those 16 years old and up. If you kids are under 16 years old, they are fine with their birth certificates. You will need your picture ID as well as your sea pass in Nassau as they check both. The port area in Nassau was just rebuilt, not sure when the prior poster was there but obviously not recently. Passports are coming back much faster than in recent years. I saw a post today that it only took three weeks, which is amazing. It would depend on the kids ages and whether you have more plans to travel in the near future if I were to try to get passports. If the kids are almost 16, I would wait as once they are 16, they get a 10 year passport, not the 5 year for younger kids.
