Waiting at the airport for a couple hours. 
 

SO. 
 

SUMMARY.  

 

1.  What happened to Sue pre cruise. 
 

To begin with I did my traditional Sunday drive to Miami university Oxford Ohio. Weather was great and made it in record time.  No blue light specials. 
 

Upon arrival the kids said can we just go out to dinner.  Your treat.  They knew I would say yes.  So we went to one of the specialty restaurants and had shaved beef sandwiches. They told me the good news of Brandon’s new job and this would probably be my last time driving down. Bowling green so much closer. 
 

Afterwards we bummed around bought some groceries. And went back to the house. 
 

Slept so great. Damn I felt great when I woke up. Zoey slept in. And kids off to work. 
 

Zoey got up at 8am.  Made her breakfast.
Put Disney Moana on her breakfast activity.   And I just started feeling a tad cold. Chillin. 
 

All of a sudden I flew into bathroom sat on the thrown and trashcan in hand.  Yup. Both ways.  Not pretty. 
 

Zoey brought me a doll and a binky. 
I told her to watch her show and eat and she left and checked on me every 10-15 min. 
 

Now I’m hot, stopped throwing up. But the other half said no way. Your on a special place sitting for awhile. 
 

So I asked Zoey to get my phone. She obliged. And gave it to me.  
 

So I read as I sit. And lo and behold the friends we were together with on Friday, yes you got it they had the virus posted on FB. They were sick for 3 days. 
 

But wait.  I have a cruise coming up. I can’t be sick. 
But wait. I’m 4 1/2 hours from home I have to get home. 
But wait. I’m with Zoey. I don’t want her to get sick. Should I call one of the kids home. No. They have only a few days of work left. 

So eventually I felt safe to lay on the couch. Nauseated but not throwing up. 
 

Zoey was great all day. Kept bringing me toys.  
When the kids got off work and  came home. I went to bed. Ginger ale and Diet Coke.  I was sweating like crazy. Slowly when I turned over would drink some. 
 

Fell asleep. Woke up 4 hours later. Soaked. Took a shower and said. I want to go home. The kids thought I should stay and rest.  But I told them I was rested out and would probably be awake anyway. They said Brandon could do his paperwork at home. 
 

So. Into the car I drove and drove and made it to the last pit stop on 71north. Wobbly  out of car, I bet people thought I was drunk. Yes I now know I’m dehydrated. So I drank another can of ginger ale. 
 

Made it home with my gas tank sensor showing low tank. 
 

Said hi to cat took my shoes and pants off and crawled in bed in guest room. 
 

Slept. 
Rick checked on me. 
 

Rested and slept all day. 
 

Not hungry. Just a little queezy. And when I would drink anything I had to go and sit on the throne……….. yup. You got it. 
 

The couch and cat was my best friend. 
 

But I have  a cruise.  I cannot be sick. 
 

We’re leaving Thursday.  Today’s Tuesday. I WILL get better.  
 

I did. 
 

Now to keep Rick from getting it. 
 

Made it to FLL.   
No fever. No GI issues.  
Nap time. 
 

Now. The question at hand. Did Rick get the virus and try to get our cruise canceled????????????

 

Some things not worth talking about 😉

My DW is from Dayton and went to Miami… thanks for taking us on your cruise

thanks for sharing your journey

Barry, close enough… thank you for passing my regards to them

if Mohamad is working in the suite lounge please tell him Dr. Organ says hello and hope to see him in February.  thanks for bringing me on this trip.

You have to ask specially for that.

they would all be boxed food with plastic "dinnerware", and not much choices for 3 meals...no snacks or drinks......very restrictive time to cruise, IMO

but none of the food is kosher of Passover? 

does RCI add 18% to the listed price for entry or cabanas, or just some tax rate

seems 21,22 or 23 are great choices...but since your favorite is 23....we'll try to get it

All of them are rather quiet, private and removed from other areas. It just depends how close to the bathrooms and pool you want to be. Some of them have the over-the-water cabanas in front of them. 

don't want to be right in front of an OTW...near the pool and BR is good, but not too close

We have also had #21 (on the other side of the pool area) which is nice if you want to be further from the pool. There is also a bathroom close by. 

 

 

thank you for sharing and your pics

no help yet

hoping to find out in advance what number to pick so I can request it with concierge 

what is the best number non floating beach club cabana.....we would like a more secluded quiet one...if that exists

As with most things with RCI, it is likely a $ driven decision.

with a billion in current profit..that is sad

no pandemic...anyone have the RCI response, inside scoop, as to why they are still paused?

the web site to register says they are paused?

According to the CC he posted from day 1, it was just Chops.  Kinda bummed.  Day 1 lunch options are Chops, Cafe Promenade or WJ and that's it. I bought the Chops lunch as I'm not a fan of the boarding day buffet especially in light of the fact that's the only free major option available for about 3500 people.

love that GD shirt and avatar

32 degrees in BH, seems cold , is it?  also is there any reserved seating for suite gusts in any venues..thanks our turn is next

hope this pre cruise stuff changes for october canada sailings

i have a 14 night NE/Can booked in october 2021...will it sail...if not I wish they would do it now

the DX package just released for my 7 night symphony is $84pp/pd plus $18 tip...seems very high

I'm really considering canceling our cruise for December.  This virius has really hit hard here in Michigan my family and friends.  I probably will reschedule for next year. Or until they come up with a vaccine.  Be safe everyone.

 

 

 

still waiting a bit as we have time to see how things go
