Rare crusin7 Posted April 5 Author #526 Share Posted April 5 Cruising the calm Arabian Sea on our way to Muscat, Oman. Because it is Ramadan, we are reminded of proper dress. We were told not to eat or drink in front of Muslims because they are fasting for Ramadan. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I am fairly certain they only fast in daylight hours, having a hearty breakfast before dawn and then dinner after sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is Regent’s recommendation. Sorry it’s crooked. We were told because of Ramadan to dress conservatively. Absolutely no shorts or sleeveless tops. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crusin7 Posted April 9 Author #536 Share Posted April 9 Good Morning Dubai! You may notice I’ve been absent for a few days. My husband fractured his femur and we disembarked today. He has had multiple implants and injuries to his leg. The Orthopedic surgeon in Dubai felt it was too difficult a procedure. We will make the 20 plus hour flight back to LA tomorrow. I will update you when I can. The crew on this cruise was top notch! The cream of the crop! Every single one of them. We will miss them all! Dennis and Dodi Gusti Nino! Love him! Shameer with Dear Patrick…love him too and Ross sitting to my right. Sweetheart Ella! Arthur, Patrick and Nino! The best GM and F&B ever! Massimo and Nino We met some great people on board. I will definitely miss them too. I told Patrick @MarinerLad to keep up the blog! He had tea at the Burj! Love to all. Crisy 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crusin7 Posted April 12 Author #550 Share Posted April 12 Good Morning my friends. Jim, Cathy and I arrived safely at LAX Wednesday afternoon. Jim was admitted to an LA hospital after waiting 6 hours in the ER waiting room. He had his previous revision hip surgery there and needed to be seen by the same surgeon. We found out Thursday that he will have surgery this afternoon (Friday). Thank you all for your good wishes and prayers. I will keep you updated.
