Rare John&LaLa Posted November 1, 2019 Author #626 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Day 5 Cozumel It must be Wednesday, that's what the elevator said. BTW, taking a pic of the elevator sign is a good way to remind you when your day changes on your camera roll Had Baja Eggs in CK, it's kind of a tradition for me. They were very good. Presentation has changed a little. I approve. Headed in to Cozumel for rum cakes and pharmaceuticals. Scored on both counts. 3 Z-packs, sorry @Ocean Boy On the way back I noticed some OV seating that I forgot about. Deck 7 aft by the rock wall Lunch in CK when I got back, but first an Amstel in the SL Golden Duch goodness Decorating has begun on 17 Had the serrano wrapped date as an app, and a spinach salad with extra shrimp Random ship picture 37 Not much seating on the Rising Tide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegirl1 Posted November 1, 2019 #634 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Flight and the symphony ice show (in my opinion) are the two best shows I’ve ever seen on a cruise ship. Glad you enjoyed. M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine they are all similar Last visit we were hanging out with our cruise friend/Doctor, who went in to help us maneuver the store. It’s important to know what your insurance costs are for some of the medications as a few of them were actually cheaper at home. I bought some Retin-A which is not covered by my insurance. Two years ago on oasis, we had a couple of extra days in Mexico because we couldn’t get back to Florida due to hurricane Irma. The captain made an announcement to visit the pharmacies in Mexico so that you had what you needed not only for the end of the trip, but also in case your pharmacy back home was closed. The pharmacy we use not only has pharmaceuticals, it also has any kind of other sundries/otc meds you might need for the remainder of your trip m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snow in 1977 is actually ice crystals. Certainly indeed would not want to throw soap all over that ice! 😉 Lots of effort goes into keeping that ice floor perfect!

Rare island lady Posted November 1, 2019 #640 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) There are some very good pharmacies down town also.

CruiseBride926 Posted November 1, 2019 #642 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I’ve always purchased retin-a from a plastic surgeon’s office and even without insurance I want to say it is only around $60. Definitely under $100. Might be worth checking out when you run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strength dispensed in the US, even by Doctors is not strong enough for our use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely under $100. Might be worth checking out when you run out. Depends on the strength of the Retin-A. For me (without insurance covering it) a big tube of my prescription is $400, a much smaller tube of a lesser strength (that my dermatologist carries at her office) is $120. There are also "retinols" and "retinoids" in lesser strengths that are available in may over-the-counter products. First world problem and not a life-saving med, I know - but if I can get it for (much) cheaper in Mexico, I'm gonna do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
