So glad to hear people are on top of this...personallly i would hate to have a cruise booked to Mexico right now.. however with that being said.. you can't live your life in fear...Common sense.. use protection.. and you should be fine.. (Sounds a lot like sex) LOL! remember the CDC guildlines. make sure you wash your hands before and after!!!! wouldn't want to get a stickyyyy spacebarrr I never eat jam sammiches by the puter....

That will make Jim happy. He loves the chilled soups. so do I..... especially in the Caribbean after a day in port..

Martha... about that list I posted from the CDC... as a rule of thumb.. a person should not wait to get help if he has all of those symptoms.. .. .. just because a person coughs doesn't mean he has a cold and not all headaches are flu related ..i think we all will agree ..my question is .. which of those symptom(s) listed should a person pay MOST attention when deciding whether or not to seek a doctors visit or just fight it out at home/work..

and the chilled soups are ......superb.

Here is a website i just discovered .. pretty amazing .. they bill them self as a online cruiseline database http://www.shipparade.com/

David takes for ever to order when we go out to eat .. so any head start i can get is appreciated.. Does anyone else travel with a slow menu reader?

Swine Flu Symptoms See your doctor if you have: Fever Cough Sore throat Body aches Headache Nausea VomitingDiarrhea SOURCE: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

YES!! I always do! me too ... what is this preoccupation with food on a cruise? is it the sea air?...couldnt be ... by the look of folks on our previous cruiises....they didn't get in that physique on land by breathing sea air..LOL

So glad to hear people are on top of this...personallly i would hate to have a cruise booked to Mexico right now.. however with that being said.. you can't live your life in fear...Common sense.. use protection.. and you should be fine.. (Sounds a lot like sex)

Lets see.. Todays quick poll: Do you find yourself stopping by the Dinning room during the day to see whats on the menu that night?

Nice .....I like this news! Just wish it was a 7 nighter..

Thanks MaryLou.. i was reading it yesterday at target.... It just may be what we need ...for mishaps.. Thanks....

Judson ... see what happens.... when you skip away for a few days!......Jeeeeeesh!

wouldn't it though...

Great website.. love the CDC Travel Notices (in Real Time no less)

It appears to be in the works... I have read rumors that the security force on the ship is a team Israeli trained security guards.

I hope Jackie and Tony stay safe ...

looks like they are attempting to stay ahead of this ... Thanks for the update Martha

good observation!

Martha and any other heath professional... any insight into swine flu would be greatly appreciated.. in the 1918 epidemic(spanish Flu) where approximately 675,000 americans died. Worldwide, the number of casualties was between 50 and 100 million. 1976 U.S. outbreak resulted in the death from severe pulmonary complications for 25 people

I wear mostly jeans... on sea days.(they tend to keep the ship cold......) shore excursions depending on location and weather of course..I may do either shorts or jeans.... causal dinner for me is polo shirt or starched oxford white or blue button collar

Jim Let me be clear I am not taking a position either way,..I am just putting this out for reflective conversation.

so i take it you don't turn the other check either?(at least once?)

Debbie I would say 98% adhere to the dress codes.. Good! That was pretty much my experience on Princess and RCI too! RCI and Celebrity are sisters..... you know that right?
