Guest guest Posted January 17, 2002 Report Share Posted January 17, 2002 Robin, You evidently took the same cruise as I did last February. I took the Celebration which is one of the Carnival Cruise ships and left from Galveston. We had the most wonderful waiter. His name was Nick. I even had my picture made with him. I would never turn down another chance to take a cruise. That's the greatest way to travel. I'm so glad you had the opportunity to go and I'm so happy you had such a great time. Too bad about the snorkeling problems. Hugs, Tootie Cruise Report " The cruise was wonderful!! We had great food, and once I told the waiter I was diabetic, he took great care of me, even bringing me something else to eat once when he knew I had ordered something that wouldn't be enough, and several times telling me that what I was ordering came with rice and offering me extra veggies instead. Also, I got lots of exercise going up and down the stairs (the elevators were extremely slow) and walking on the decks. The only downside was that I'm quite allergic to jellyfish stings (which I got while snorkeling in Cozumel). I didn't break out until 24 hours after exposure. It did mean that I got to educate my PCP on jellyfish stings, though. So, now I'm on a five day course of steroids to clear up the stupid rash (looks like I rolled in a poison ivy patch, and itches about the same).

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2002 Report Share Posted January 17, 2002 ---Same here, Rick. We had thought about a cruise and it ended with the thought. Being surrounded with water just wasn't appealing. I would like to go but it would need to be on land or very close to shore and that is not gonna happen! Haven't seen a cruise ship sailing along a highway yet! A friend went on a cruise to Nova Scotia and said it was just wonderful. Had a great time. The food was excellent. The people were friendly, staff as well as other vacationers and the people they met in Canada when they went on shore. I went so far as to get the brochure. Speaking of scuba diving, there is a hotel under water somewhere in Fl. I remember reading about it and one has to scuba dive to get there!
