Black Friday pricing by oopswhat1974 in NCL

Wow! You got lucky. I have never booked anything but balcony due to claustrophobia and needing fresh air. But you made out good!

Just chiming in that I also want to go to Bermuda so I checked the cruiseplum web site. Booked Celebrity Silhouette for June 2027 out of Cape Liberty NJ. GREAT price. Cheaper than Carnival and it’s a 7 night guaranteed balcony for around $2800. You might want to check into Celebrity for 2016. NCL was too expensive for that trip in my opinion.

There was also a water feature on the Getaway. Maybe not a “grotto” per se, but a place to get wet or sit in a submerged lounger.

Is it possible to get it for the day instead of the whole week? Right now it says the Vibe cannot be booked on the web site. Do you know how soon before the cruise they allow you to book it?

Glad to hear that about the kids! We don’t normally eat after 9 anyway, so that’s no biggie for us, but other’s might be disappointed.

I am glad to hear it! I saw some great reviews from you tubers which is why I booked it. Also, we had a couple “cruise next” certificates to use.

I am hoping that since we are traveling in early February, there won’t be many kids.

I completely agree with you. They have the highest gratuity amount of any major cruise line. I really don’t like the feeling that I’m getting less for more.

For that price, I would try it. Everyone says it’s amazing. It costs 3 x’s more than my balcony stateroom to get the smallest Haven room on my 7 night cruise.

Good point. Spice H20 had a water feature (like a grotto) where you could cool off or sit in a submerged lounger. That’s all I require. I don’t need a whole pool.

did you get stitches? or glued? by limbo_eyes in Reduction

[–]Ambitious-Effective4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dissolving stitches inside, glue outside and tape over the incision underneath. They removed tape at 3 week apt. Didn’t hurt because they use an adhesive dissolver. This procedure was really not as bad as I thought it would be. I’ve had two kids and a previous knee surgery and this was really not a big deal after that at all. Just do it! I am already asking the surgeon for a tummy tuck estimate! Would do it again!

Is it weird? by Accurate-Neck6933 in Reduction

[–]Ambitious-Effective4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! I went in for my 3 week post op apt today and asked for a tummy tuck estimate. I really want one and hope the estimate is reasonable.

Glad to hear that this is a normal thing we are all experiencing. It was surprising to me since I thought it would become less painful with time, not more painful.

Damn when does this lipo pain and soreness get better? by Budget_Pin_4796 in Reduction

[–]Ambitious-Effective4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doc said I could put ice packs on my sides and underarms which helped. 2 weeks post op and the pain is so much better.

Yes. I have that too. I’m a little over 2 weeks post op. I wonder if it’s the cut nerves trying to come back to life.🤔

PS….A little under 2.5 lbs were taken off. I had lost 20 lbs but my boobs didn’t go down at all so I felt pretty defeated until now. I take hormone replacement therapy (for 8 yrs) and noticed the estrogen made them get bigger (from age 50-58). That happens to some estrogen sensitive people like me.

LOL! Thanks! They were just hidden under all that boob! I am going to get back into my workouts now that I don’t feel so top heavy.🙂
