lincslady Posted November 24, 2010 #526 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Horrors!!! Just looked at the Seabourn blog, and see some idiot is suggesting William and Kate take over the Sojourn for their honeymoon. They had better not; some of us are hoping to be on board on their wedding day, sailing away from it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seabourn-nail Posted November 30, 2010 #529 Share Posted November 30, 2010 hi sn,i am new to cruise critic and have only come here as we are about to leave for a christmas cruise on seaboard. having seen your words about your husband's gout i thought i might say how terrible it is that he is in this state. having osteoarthritis and a number of years of rather chronic gout, i started seeing a specialist and now am nearly free of symptoms. i assume that you are aware of the purine chart for foods and what can be helpful and what is not. when you mention the rich life of being aboard ship, i can assure you that this has almost nothing to do with the onset of gouty arthritic episodes. the major factor is genetics and once episodes begin, the best defense is an anti-imflamitory followed with a drug to lower uric acid(allopurinol). and lots of water to flush the system. each onset of gout can further damage joints so getting on the right medication asap is best. find a very good and patient rheumatologist quickly before he ends up with kidney stones. neither of you will want to deal with that. i know this is off topic from the thread but it can be very serious, as you already know. good luck. Thank you so very much for being so kind to be off topic to give your good advice for my husband and even more so in your first ever post on Cruise Critic - I'm very honoured! First of all : Welcome to Cruise Critic and especially the Seabourn Board! Secondly I would like to wish you the best Christmas holiday ever... And last but not least: Thank you for you advice (of which we are aware mostly). It yurned out that this time my husband had developed Erysipelas and after antibiotics and hospital for nearly a week, antibiotics in oral form again, he is still not better yet. Doctor in half an hour.... Thanks, Marja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted December 23, 2010 #532 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Marja - thank you for the lovely card!! I wish I was able to use the computer so well. A Happy Christmas, and even more importantly, a Heathy New Year to you and Rene. Everyone will enjoy looking at the card - makes the weather and all the other problems seem a little less important.

Chairsin Posted December 23, 2010 #534 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Jane, You could save yourself hundreds of $ by just foraging around the parks and empty lots in the city. Seriously, we have been debating back and forth whether to attempt it next summer if we take the Norwegian fjords cruise.It is not just the money but I also wonder if I would actually enjoy it or would I be doing it just for the novelty of it. Are you planning on dining at Noma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you planning on dining at Noma? We have considered that cruise also, but I freeze and although the beauty of the fjords is great...the temperature on deck makes me shiver. I felt the same way about Alaska...Remember for me, below 85 is winter, so I want to be where it is warm when it is cold here and I'll stay home when it is warm here! Might be just old bones!!

Chairsin Posted December 27, 2010 #536 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Nancy, Given that we live in Arizona by choice we too are not big fans of cold weather( for us a winter day is when the temperature does not hit 60 ).So we would not go on the Norway cruise except in August( and yes, even at that I know we can expect some cool days). On the other hand, the way all of the glaciers around the world are melting I figure we had better go on this trip sooner than later. That being said, my favorite Seabourn cruises are always in the sunny Med in September and October.If you change your mind we'll look for you on board.

Sharon, I would rather you look for me in the sunny Med. Last time we did Alaska I said never again. I also am of the uneducated opinion that once I have seen a glacier, I have seen it. I looked at my Alaska pictures and I have SO many glaciers. I did write the names down...that was good. I also am enjoying the beautiful pictures that Seabournites publish of the Fjords, so take some for me. I'll be sitting by the pool in August with grandchildren having a glass of wine and being waited on (and pretending it is Seabourn) and looking forward to my crossing in November!!! P.S. I could live in Arizona also, we had two couples on our cruise from Arizona that I met Maybe we'll meet sometime. Bob loves doing four day week-ends anywhere Southwest flies!! We almost scheduled something next June there and then it worked out to be Baltimore (another SW destination, ha!)

Martita B. Posted December 29, 2010 #542 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I cool the hot cocoa mixture ~then pour it into a tight container ~place it in the fridge. When I want one cup of hot chocolate, I zap it in the microwave..... this "concotion" is much better than Swiss Miss ~ Goes well with a slice of homemade pound cake!

JaneBP Posted January 13, 2011 #547 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Reading about the Costa cruise ship that plowed into the dock in Egypt, killing 3 crew there was an interesting comment added to the article discussion: >"The Egyptians have a record of impounding cruise ships because of damage to facilities or reefs. Costa is going to probably have to pay a grip to get it back. Case in point Maybe 12 years ago the Royal Viking Sun, then sailing for Cunard hit a reef in the Red Sea, and partially sunk. The Egyptians claimed $25 million damage to the reef, and inpounded the ship. The insurance comapny was on the hook, the ship was out of service with rebuild time 4 months or so, and the Captain was on the street." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
