Great advice from all of you. Thanks

Great review, John. Glad you had a wonderful cruise. Don’t you just love it when you can actually see those “ postcard moments “ in real time?

Hmmm, just a thought. Could we sue the cruise lines for causing a weight gain too? I feel sorry for the guy but like everyone else said, with his previous neuropathy condition, shouldn’t he have been aware of what could happen? And to refuse immediate treatment?? I don’t think he will win his lawsuit but I do feel sorry for him.

Dear Shari, We are on the same wave length about lots of stuff. You know what I mean. LOL.

And if person is awake while in basket, wouldn't the person have a heart attack just from the experience of being airlifted like that???

Wow, must have been A terrifying experience for his family.

I am also so sorry to hear about the stenosis and arthritis, Shari. It does sound like you do have some control over your eating, more than I do. I like to sample everything, which is why we always eat at the buffet. Also, we don't want to be confronted with the bread and butter . We like to go to the buffet, eat and get out quickly. We don't like to sit for long in the dining room. However, on a four day cruise, I do come home at least 4 pounds heavier, although half of it comes off during the week when I resume my usual eating. I think , also, a lot of it is salt and retaining fluids. Wow, Jan, only 2 pounds. Congratulations, that's excellent. I would be thrilled with that.

I really need to do the stairs , rather than elevators. Also, my walking on the Promenade Deck is certainly not as good as going to the gym and working up a sweat. So, now I've got a couple of goals for our next cruise. Thanks for the tips, gymbrat.

Wow, excellent tips. Didn’t realize cruise ships were so accommodating. I can’t picture myself bring the mayo and snacks . I guess if you’re really determined, it’s possible to keep the pounds off but for me, it’s always been a pound up per day. I really do need to try some of these tips. Great article.

Love, love, love the Brothers. Now that would be an awesome cruise. Hmmmmmm.

What a sad, sad tragedy. ???

Love your post, Jan. You echo my thoughts when it’s time to pack. Lol. Anyway, glad hubby is better and got the green light to accompany you. Have a fabulous cruise.

Anyone know why it happened??? Haven’t heard anything on news yet

Me too, Shari

Scary stuff.

Thanks for responding, John. Should I assume the buffet is open for dinner also? When you say buffet pizza in the afternoon , does that that the pizza is not available in the evening? If not, where can you get something to eat about 11 PM or midnight? Not interested in paying for meals , snacks and we don't do room service. Thank, JOhn.

MSC is offering a 4 day cruise from Miami on the Divina. Does anyone know if they offer a buffet for dinner??? another question is can you get something to eat later in the evening??? Also, can you walk around the outside deck where the lifeboats are hanging and does that deck have the width so you can easily walk around and sit there during the day??? Any help would be appreciated.

Wow, congratulations on your back to back. I've never done that. I think I would have to be rolled off the ship after that. Enjoy and let us know how it goes.

Welcome aboard. Hope to see you posting in the forums.

So, any new members who want to introduce yourself?
