Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted February 28 Author #326 Share Posted February 28 I would bet dollars to donuts fanning will be cancelled. Ships rarely make it into Fanning island anyway. I’m just hopeful that the person will be ok and shame on the people who expressed outright disappointment in turning around. That’s some bad karma right there. The universe noticed. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I did I’d be asking how they’d feel if it was them or a loved one. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlorenceItaly Posted February 28 #328 Share Posted February 28 Due to norovirus I wonder if they would have stopped at Fanning Island anyway???? On our 2019 51 day Tales of the South Pacific we did make it in. Best wishes to the ill patient. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCTribeFan Posted February 28 #332 Share Posted February 28 I think I had noro once and pretty sure I picked it up on the travel day prior to sailing. It was not a good time. I've now had Covid twice. Got it while on the Zuiderdam Alaska B2B in June 2022 and got it a month ago while on Eurodam. And I'm as vaccinated/boosted as possible. Symptoms both times were mild and this time, none of my travel companions caught it. I did have to visit the infirmary during the first week for a UTI infection, so my resistance was probably low. Hope I'm done with Covid for a while. At least I don't seem to have the brain fog that really affected me the first time, for several months. That's good since it's tax season and that's tough enough when your brain is fully functional! I may have a look at excursions tomorrow evening (if I don't forget). Really enjoying all the pics. Keep them coming, please! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ukelele lessons, tahitian dance lessons and at 5pm they do sing, dance and play ukelele in the crows nest. They are great 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer88 Posted February 29 #337 Share Posted February 29 Aloha! I posted on our regular site too. HAL told me they could not support for coffee, etc in the game room till all our symptoms settle down. We had the GI stuff and missed Kauai completely. Mine for just 18 hours, but Arthur for 48 and Jewel for 72 + recovery time now for her- so our excursions in Honolulu were short. We have a connecting door, and all we really here is their coughing- they’ve been suffering for 5 days now. Anyway, probably best not to be sharing cards and games right now with different groups. I do have brand new Rummikub and Sequence games that have not been played, and 5 Crowns game not played on this cruise yet, if anyone wants to borrow same. Just call me at 0-4116, and we can agree to meet. Maybe back in business after a few days, or hopefully by the return stretch to San Diego. I’ve but a couple books down in the library for exchange. Mahalo! And stay well! (Love that Meclizine!) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbear Posted February 29 #338 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Update for those that didn’t hear it from the Captain when he spoke. Evacuation will be delayed an hour longer so the ship can get closer to land. Hoping the patient is stable & makes a full recovery.

julia Posted February 29 #339 Share Posted February 29 It's fortuitous that this medical emergency didn't happen when you were further south and in the middle of nowhere. Sending prayers for the passenger's safety and recovery. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted February 29 Author #340 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Not much to report today. Did some tai chi. Then did some Dancing. Then napped. Then pool. Then walked. Then napped. Then met friends for drinks. Currently enjoying happy hour in the crows nest. The helicopter rendezvous keeps getting pushed back. Originally for 6:00. Then 7:30. It’s 9:00 and we are still cruising at 20knots toward Kona. D0 want to give a huge shout out to Callaire, a nail tech in the spa. She is very professional and takes her job seriously. I had a shellac nail chip after just one week and she fixed it complementary because she wants customers to be genuinely happy with the job. Highly recommend her if you want a mani/pedi. I appreciate someone who stands behind their work. Tonight is formal night. Quite a few dressed up. Reviews of tonight’s entertainment were very poor. Last night everyone seemed to love it and I thought the Hawaiian Luau entertainment was great the night before. Everything one could want from a luau besides an ocean breeze and fire dancers. They offered escargot in the lido. I totally skipped dinner. I just can’t eat like I used to. I’m making up the calories In liquid form Some deets from today- Edited February 29 by BermudaBound2014 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted February 29 Author #345 Share Posted February 29 I just witnessed the medical evacuation. Two couples. Both men walked on the tender. Both females alert/awake and in wheelchairs. One lady was alert enough to carry on her own medical papers. She had a purple cast on left leg (not sure if related). Tender departed. Got half way to shore and turned around. Loaded 4 more full size suitcases (originally only had four small rolls boards). Again- both patients were alert and in wheelchairs. God speed recovery. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCTribeFan Posted February 29 #348 Share Posted February 29 Are there dominoes in the game room or do we need to bring a set? Are people saying that stroopwaffles are normally available in the MDR? How did I never know that? If they are, is there a charge, because there is in the Dutch Cafe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
