Got my flu shot today, since I have 38 days on 2 different ships coming up in a couple of weeks. I have never had the flu and never got a flu shot until I was 65. So far, so good. Knock on wood, I’m pretty darn healthy.

 

Good record!  Keep it going!  

 

Mrs Ldubs has never had the flu either.  A couple of weeks ago she thought she might have finally caught it, but it turned out she had pneumonia.  She spent 5 days in the hospital because of the high temps and crazy WBCs.  Don't want her to do that again.

PSA: The CDC recommends the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccination for adults 65 and over.

ban children from cruising. 99% of dieseases eradicated overnight.

Had my flu shot and pneumonia jab on Saturday. Knowing my luck, I'll probably now get measles!

Easy enough to confirm. That's Viking Ocean's business model.

Please tell me these three avoid dressy up nights and I am in.

No can do. We had 7 formal nights on our recent Arcadia cruise

You'll be OK on Viking, but not on P&O!

Let me get this right then. You took 7 suits, or cocktail dresses?

 

How many cases do you have take?

 

Please dont tell me you wore the same clothes twice?

Viking it is then. No brats and no formals. Sounds like heaven.

Just got our flu shots today - yay!  While we still wash hands like demented raccoons, it does make us feel better prepared.  I also do the Lysol wipes at my seat while flying (swabbing down the seat belt and air controls 😱).

What is a demented raccoon ?

[cruznjan]

Since we usually cruise in the fall, we get our flu shots well in advance of sailing (we always get them, anyway).

Demented raccoon:  washes paws frequently, and not just when chowing down at our grape vines.  Not just an adorable Disney creature...
