innlady1 Posted October 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Now! :( And, we're not on it. :mad: On Friday, I had to cancel our vacation to Barcelona and the Transatlantic crossing on the Noordam. Tooth pain that I ignored (hoping it would go away) and trying to convince myself it was sinuses . Wrong. My dentist took xrays and she sent me to the endodontist who has done several root canals. I have a fractured root canal and an abscess. She had put me on Amoxycillin but it didn't do much so the endo. switched to a stronger antibiotic. Finally feeling better. Seeing the oral surgeon for it to be extracted and then an implant. So, no cruise for us. I'm counting our blessings...this is the first we've cancelled. And, I hope last!

OVgirl Posted October 15, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 15, 2014 So sorry that you had to cancel and yes, also about your tooth.:( I know you have had this cruise in the cooker for a long time. You should be ship shape by February. Hurry and get better.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathfinderEss Posted October 15, 2014 #12 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Sorry to hear about your tooth. Man do I know about teeth problems and know how painful that can be. Glad your getting it taken care of but sorry your going to miss your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted October 15, 2014 #13 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) As you proceed through the travel insurance claim process, it would be wonderful if you wouldn't mind sharing how easy or hard it is. I've never made any claim and wonder how difficult some insurers make it to collect on legitimate claims.

innlady1 Posted October 15, 2014 Author #14 Share Posted October 15, 2014 As you proceed through the travel insurance claim process, it would be wonderful if you wouldn't mind sharing how easy or hard it is. I've never made any claim and wonder how difficult some insurers make it to collect on legitimate claims. I will report my experience here, Judy. I'm not looking forward to it. 11 pages of forms to be completed. I will wait until I've had the surgery. Three dentists so I'm trying to decide which one should be the one to fill out the paper work. And it gets more complicated from there! I think we booked this cruise on the NA last fall. So ovgirl is correct, it's been "a long time in the cooker". And, just like that, goes poof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapper1 Posted October 15, 2014 #15 Share Posted October 15, 2014 That's such a shame Sheila. And the tooth business is no fun either. Hope you get settled away soon and get another cruise booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisyloo Posted October 15, 2014 #16 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Innlady, I feel your pain! I had the same thing -fractured root, extraction and implant. It was not a fun time. I feel bad for you having to cancel a much anticipated cruise, but like others have said, its better than having pain in the middle of the atlantic. Hope all the stages of your dental work go smoothly. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruzin Terri Posted October 15, 2014 #19 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Sheila, Having been through a cancellation this past August, I know what it is like. Believe me, be happy it happened here and not there. I hope it all goes well and the insurance process is easy and quick. Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boytjie Posted October 15, 2014 #20 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Oh, no, Sheila! What a disappointment. Good look with the tooth extraction and implant - mine was a long process but not too painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ2002 Posted October 15, 2014 #21 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Very sorry to hear about your tooth problem, but glad to hear that you are feeling better. We had to cancel a cruise several years ago due to a broken foot which required surgery. Thankfully, we also had insurance. In our case, the carrier paid very promptly after we submitted all the paperwork. It may look daunting, but hopefully it will all go smoothly for you as well. Get well soon and book another cruise! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthC Posted October 15, 2014 #23 Share Posted October 15, 2014 It's a shame that you had to miss a trip that you have looked forward to for so long. But you are accepting it well (pain meds helping on that?). You will heal, and there will be other trips. Take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda&Vern Posted October 15, 2014 #25 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Ouch! So sorry about your cruise. Dental pain is my ultimate horror! I can take just about any pain ... except tooth pain. Hope you feel better soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
