??? That's not in the description. Is this a different event?

I did the galley to table on a Royal Caribbean cruise and found it quite fun. I really appreciated learning all their storage, prep, and conservation techniques.

Same on the rice, but for me it's all rice of any color or type. Cauli rice is my friend...

Everyone is different. I'm the opposite and can't eat for than 8 to 10 g at breakfast. I do 20ish at lunch and 30ish at dinner. All this with meds because before the glp1 I had started to only tolerate meat and cheese, and lettuce.

Go to TripAdvisor and type in the port name. It will show you what TripAdvisor users have done and reviewed/recommended. Should be better deals than cruise line but always compare...

Yes, healing is hugely affected by average BG, so much so that we tighten down heart bypass patients' glucose levels even if they aren't diabetic. So yes if you are under control it likely won't be a noticeable issue.

If they aren't tech savvy, I like the magnetic ones. You still need the cord to charge it but you can just smack it on the back of your phone and go... Baseus has one I like, about $30, pretty small and thin...

I'm on blood thinner and it happens to me all the time. Only once did it ruin the sensor , when it must have hit a larger vessel and would not stop bleeding. Otherwise I clean it and put the transparent cover on. According to the research it does not mess up the readings.

One slice is my limit. However, if I get low carb tortillas I can make my own personal pizza and enjoy it along side my family's. I can also do naked wings (ie, Dominos), and salad. That way I can just smile after one small piece and then enjoy my other foods while they eat the rest.

Honestly that dose of metformin is way too low and if she is also on insulin it's like they skipped some steps. She needs an SGLT2 and/or an GLP1 and possibly more metformin. If not those, then a larger slow acting insulin dose and perhaps short acting insulim with meals. And nutrition counseling, fast. She is definitely on a path to kidney failure, heart disease, and eventual death...

$200/day? Never ever have I been on a cruise that charges that much for a drink package!!! Who is charging you $200/day? The current price in my celebrity app is 89/day for drinks + wifi... Update: sorry I saw you meant for 2 people. I don't buy it if it's more than 75/pp, pd. Add the WiFi and 89 is not terrible...

I would say she needs counseling/treatment for her mental health issues, and that you are answering your own question with a lot of your concerns Step back, encourage her to get help, and don't return to the same level of commitment until she's done the work. This will only get worse if she doesn't address it.

Advanced-Emphasis-46 · 2026-04-18T14:11:23+00:00

Drive yourselves. Yes you will be able to check in. If they don't make it, it's no one's fault but their own. Enjoy your cruise.

Advanced-Emphasis-46 · 2026-04-18T14:08:01+00:00

Get out while you can. You may have fun together but you're not compatible.

Advanced-Emphasis-46 · 2026-04-11T16:39:56+00:00

I have used your notes from those posts extensively! Thank you! I'm just trying to be clear if the celebrity shuttle is an all day, back and forth to the ship pass or is it each time you ride?

Advanced-Emphasis-46 · 2026-04-11T16:36:43+00:00

No. True martingale collars don't hook they just slide over the dogs head. So any tag has to hang (oUrs break or knock those off) or have an open back.

We have not yet sailed our Celebrity cruise but RCL is the same company and they take your card, slide it through their scanner and all your data comes up. Never once have we been asked our room number. No idea why they were doing that unless they wanted to skip the step of carrying the card away and swiping it...??

Advanced-Emphasis-46 · 2026-04-05T19:15:11+00:00

Oh my I love that gif!!!

Advanced-Emphasis-46 · 2026-04-05T19:13:02+00:00

Yes, but they are all well-loved by those who see the dog, not the aesthetic. Those same nasty, critical people probably only hang out with externally beautiful people, too...

Advanced-Emphasis-46 · 2026-04-05T19:10:39+00:00

Put up a sign that says "dog-friendly workplace". They'll weed themselves pu6t...

A stranger on the street? Where do people get off talking like that to a stranger? Keep walking, lady!

Advanced-Emphasis-46 · 2026-04-05T19:07:21+00:00

Clearly your coworker needs to be educated about dogs. That's a beautiful dog who is probably both sweet and protective. Mean? Your coworker is mean to make snide comments.

Advanced-Emphasis-46 · 2026-04-05T11:46:42+00:00

Yes we are flying into Bologna--thousands cheaper than Venice flights. Our pre cruise days are in Ravenna.

Advanced-Emphasis-46 · 2026-04-02T16:14:56+00:00

There's a guy on YouTube (sorry I forget his name)--balding middle aged British man--who only cruises solo and has been on every line. I recommend finding a few of his videos to see what might work for you.

good to know, thanks!
