We cruise with friends who do that all the time. I believe I stated that above. The point I was making was why would you serve an EXCESS of a seasoning proven to cause cardiac, high blood pressure, and edema issues all seriously detrimental to ones health? BTW on our cruise numerous complaints of high salt were received by the Luminea maitre d'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We paid $ 100 for all photo's digitally. I think many people , including myself, have to deal with the fact they we are getting older and perhaps gaining weight and picture shows us the truth- hard to see it. So many of us don't like pictures as we age- We cannot deny what we see! It is just a nice memory IMO Edited December 7, 2019 by Cruise a holic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If other people want to sacrifice taste for other reasons then they can ask for it. There is no proof salt is detrimental to those without salt sensitive hypertension or heart failure. There is no evidence that salt is detrimental for people of normal health, in fact there is evidence it may be beneficial. It doesn't cause heart and cardiovascular issues, but can exacerbate issues in people with certain cardiac pre-existing conditions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnycruises Posted December 7, 2019 #180 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I suggest you read the Mayo Clinic site re sodium. The recommendation for daily sodium intake is 2300 mg and I assure you Luminea far exceeds this. An additional factor is the age group they are serving certainly don't need the excess Na. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photographer is just doing his/her job. Ad sometimes the pictures are really very good- a nice memory if you want to purchase- If however, you are married and sailing with somebody else's significant other- a bad idea to take a picture! lol. That is so funny! On my first cruise I was with three other women and we were seated with an older couple who were very sweet. We all took pictures of each other and the man said if we gave him our address he would send the pictures he took with his camera to us. We said sure and we would do the same for them. We got a very emphatic "no" from them and found out later the man was on "business" and the woman with him was not his wife! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true ...and 'salt' is my favorite food group. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly me thought there was no saving seats, especially around a bar! So did you move? Similar incident on EDGE recently. Everyone got to Eden early for best seats to see the show, Activity dir ( very pushy) came by with 2 apoarently special suite people, and literally obliged our group to re arrange ourselves so the latecomers could squeeze in... I was at the ladies room and came back to find my dh seated behind me rather than next to me.. Had I been there it would not have happened, Worse was that the squeezed in guests had super self entitled airs about them as if this was okay! And the woman reeked of cheap perfume! In poor taste all around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sailed both. Although there have been changes and downgrades throughout the cruise industry the two are far from the same....at least in my experience.

Can’t see why if someone wore a hat that it would bother anyone same with shorts. The more casual the better. I am bothered when I see someone in a tux because it seems so pretentious. Basic well established etiquette...gentlemen remove hats indoors and esp in dining venues..unless religious reasons for head covering..male/ female. Includes backwards baseball caps !
