We should start a pool - how many years until they restore it to match the rest of the fleet (agreed though, it does not look bad) ! I figure that they'd have the ship out for longer than they did - but their quick fix worked. Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted June 20, 2022 #487 Share Posted June 20, 2022 1 hour ago, OCSC Mike said: Agreed. I average 10-13 on a 7-night cruise although some of it is water weight/swelling so it's slightly artificially high. I gained 8 on our last cruise and I was pleased with that. I do swell up some because of all the liquids I consume, salt in food and everything else. 18 minutes ago, molly361 said: I do love a good barstool 🍻 A barstool in the Schooner Bar is where you find me. 5 minutes ago, John&LaLa said: Hopefully I'll speak with Miami this week I'm guessing different venues works, but maybe the ala carte ones are just once a day.

I swell up so badly I take water pills now. I freaked out the first time it happened. Legs and feet were so swollen I had cankles and sandals barely fit. Learned it wasn't that uncommon and was from the salt after googling. Forgot my pills on Harmony a few weeks ago. Fortunately didn't really start until say 6 and wasn't that bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately didn't really start until say 6 and wasn't that bad. Same for me. One thing that helped was my doctor lowered my dosage on my blood pressure med. My cruise two years ago my ankles and feet were so swollen that I had a hard time putting on my shoes. After my doc did the adjustment I had no swelling on my last cruise. I may bring some water pills on my next cruise just to be safe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climbing the slides do not take as much energy as the trails either. I am sure the next Caribbean with the UDP will put the weight on. 😆 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyed hearing the UDP experience. Also after seeing the ship, I have been considering looking at cruises other than Oasis class. Might be time to get back to them again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I realized I had forgotten my pills this last cruise, I started googling for other remedies. There are natural diuretics like parsley or lemon. Saw some old posts of people asking for a plate of parsley in the MDR. I wasn't up for that, lol. One thing I tried that helped a bit was spending some time with my feet elevated while in bed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hassle in Pt Canaveral Grecia led us out right at 8:00. Exited ship through the fire doors. Then merged into the long line. Folks, keep your seapass out. Big hold up while a lady searched for hers. SMH No idea how far this stretched. Think they got into line from the Deck 4 MDR. Nice to find my Q5 still there. No exit line.👍 Not to hot, but humid. Trip to car was under 15 minutes, and that included chatting with folks at confiscated goods table and waiting for elevators FWIW, I thought parking at east elevator was a good idea, but line was long. 6 of one vs half dozen of another. We've parked near the West elevator the last couple of times. No wait at all. I'm guessing that people don't think about going around the corner past the entrance. Thanks for doing this. Your threads are always totally enjoyable, and often educational. Must be the love all serve all thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
