For those of you who are wondering, yes I am a Travel Agent and I work with anyone in Canada and the United States :)
In my darkest days, at a time when death was knocking at my back door, I learned a phrase.
"I'm grateful for the opportunity to complain." I feel for you brother. Get well soon.
Love that phrase.
Good point
Mine is "The best is yet to come"
Again…. YOUR choosing . Should move to Florida. I get the feeling there is some cook “passing out” the nurovirus reason why they sent you out of your room to clean room (or maybe that room’s previous tenant had the nurovirus)
@@silviaeastonborges5204 This seems an odd thing to say on this thread. Could you have posted is in the wrong place?
Don, I think you just got yourself run down with all those delays & all that time traveling your resistance is super low. I know you are tired of being stuck in that cabin, but hang in there Don , hopefully you will start to feel better soon,try to rest &stay hydrated, sips of liquids. Many prayers coming your way.
I am so to hear you are sick. Stay hydrated and feel better soon!
Hugs Don you've been thru worse and survived.. hope you feel better soon❤❤
I fully empathise, having caught Norovirus on a ship, I'd never felt so Ill before or since.
Don,I am so sorry to hear that you are not feeling well.I am praying for your quick recovery.
I feel so disappointed for you. Hopefully, you’ll be feeling better by this evening. Get well! 😊
Oh no! Hoping you feel better soon. 🙏😞
One word, Imoduim. Please feel better!!! Jeff & Sandy
I tried to get some Imodium last fall, and the pharmacy had never heard of it!! Perhaps they only looked at prescribed medications, but my husband came back empty handed. Imodium was the best! I’m 72 & perhaps the manufacturer quit making it. 😩
LOPERAMIDE is the real name of Immodium. Immodium is a brand name sold in USA primarily. So a pharmacist can always direct you to the next brand of loperamide its world wide name.
@@joywebster2678 we have absolutely no problem getting Immodium in Canada. I never travel witout it in my kit.
Yup. Never travel without it!
Never go cruising without gas X, immodium, alkaseltzer all the good stuff.
Oh my goodness, Don! I hope you feel better soon!!!!
Don so sorry to hear you are sick. Thank you for doing these videos for us ! I really enjoy your channel.
Post flu diet. Medical advice, start with a BRAT diet. Bananas / Rice / Apples / Toast. Try dry toast first. A few hours later, try plain white rice, later try some banana, or apple. Allow 24 hrs, of this diet BEFORE moving on to a fat free diet. Return to normal diet about 48 hrs, after last event of vomiting or diarrhea. Been practicing this method of "getting over it" for decades.
Hope you feel better soon!!!!!!!
That's what I was thinking that BRAT diet. I remember that from when my daughter was sick as a child. She's now 29, but I still remember Lol!!
Still use the BRAT diet.
In addition to the BRAT diet, which dry saltine type crackers also work if toast is not easy to obtain, drink lots of water, broth or electrolyte replacement drink like Gatorade. If you start feeling lightheaded, be sure to let the doctor on board know, because you may need IV fluids if you get too dehydrated.
All those carbs are absolutely horrible for anyone metabolically. The fat free is ridiculous, too! That’s why so many of us are fat and sick! I would suggest fasting for as long as possible, then eating plenty of protein and the fat that comes with it naturally, such a juicy ribeye steak.
🍎 for the win!!!!
Oh man! That sucks! Feel better soon. ❤
Look on the brightside, it .usually it only lasts 24hrs.
Norovirus is horrible. Was flat on my back in the cabin for three days. Norwegian knew norovirus was rampant on the previous cruise and said nothing as we boarded, just let us all come on board and get sick. Half of our group came down with it. They sent a case of water to the room - big deal! I was furious.
85 cruises for me and I will never cruise NCL again.
I’m so sorry. Prayers you feel better really soon.
I spent 4 days of a 5 day cruise in my room. I feel ya. I totally understand. Had the flu and stomach issues. Was on Carnival Freedom. Hang in there!
Get well soon Don. So sorry you are sick, that’s such a bummer. Add in all the delays and cancelations, how frustrating. My thoughts are with you.
Get well soon.
I travel a lot as well and it seems there is more and more cancellations and such. There has been an issue flying the last 3 trips. It’s crazy.
Oh no I am so sorry you are ill and appreciate you self quarantining. I hope you feel better very soon 🙏
Goodness! Feel better soon!
OMG, I feel so bad for you, hope it gets better soon, thanks gor being responsible and not passing it on to anyone else.
Sorry to hear this Don! Hope you are back to normal very soon!! Better days are ahead!
Ugh, I'm sorry this trip has gone so badly. The good news is that things can only get better from here, right? All your future cruises will be amazing in comparison! I hope you feel better soon!
Your eyes look very puffy today too. I can see you are sick. Poor Don. My heart goes out to you. Thankfully it's not your first cruise so you know it's not the norm.
Get well soon Don! My husband has a chronic condition that makes him vomit. We have been trapped in rooms and emergency rooms for the last 5 or so years, taking at least a cruise a year. I'm now afraid to travel with him for obvious reasons.
You may want to check and see if he has some sort of issue with certain foods!
I heard of stuff like this!
A guy was taken to the hospital and given a special diet, probably gluten free and he felt better and then they gave him a normal diet and his symptoms returned.
Thank you! We've done a full array of allergy testing and as far as they can tell it's connected to migraines, like he gets a silent migraine with puking. It happens most often with positive excitement.....like going on a cruise!@@Herowebcomics
My husband had that happen in 2001. It took years to get a diagnosis. We went to hospitals all over the Midwest to see medical specialist. In 2005 after our second visit to the Cleveland clinic, a doctor finally gave us the information we needed. He said it would slowly go away within 7 years. It has gotten better, but he still does get sick from time to time. Good luck to you both.
Forgot to mention, the first 3 years, we spent hundreds, I really do mean hundreds of hours in the ER and hospital. So frustrating.
😢😢😢
Always take bottle PeptpBismo and powdered Pedialyte, always works
Don, praying for your quick recovery. I look forward to seeing your videos each day. Appreciate that you tell it like it is and don’t sugar coat it. We are home from the January 26th sailing of RC- Liberty OTS. Had a minor flight delay on our way home. Nothing in comparison to 36 hours. Wow! The stamina that you have.
We are so disappointed you are having such a bad time of it, especially on Regent. We were excited last year when you said you would be on RSSC for the first time. We have had multiple sailings on Celebrity, HAL and Cunard but the most have been on Regent, almost from their beginning. We were on Voyager when she was new. We could hardly wait to see you experience a true luxury cruise for the first time...the attentive crew, having servers actually walk around offering drinks rather than having to chase them down and give them your card and, of course, the wonderful food. We recently sailed on the new Splendor and were amazed by the beauty when boarding. The ship had to be specially designed to be able to float with the weight of all the marble they used.
So very sorry, Don, praying you get better soon🙏
Sorry you are going through this. My cabin mate and I got the stomach virus on NCL the last three days of our Panama Canal cruise. Flying home was a challenge. Took us about a week to improve. None of the OTC meds helped. Hope you feel better soon.🙏🙏🙏
I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through this :( I hope you feel better soon and get to enjoy the remainder of the cruise!
So sorry you’re sick. Hang in there 😥
Yikes. Sorry!!!!! Get well soon.
I'm sorry that you're not feeling well. See if you can get some ginger mints, and sip warm ginger ale with dry toast. Hope you're feeling better soon. Nah, don't feel defeated. Its just a bump in the road. It will get better
After rain there is always sunshine. Take care
Sorry to hear of your troubles! It's all coming good very soon!!
So sorry for you Don! Get well soon!
I’m a tour guide here in Rio and I’d love to have welcomed you in our marvelous city!
Sorry to hear that Don. Hope you feel better
At least I hope you’re better for the trip home. Clear liquids really help. I came down with double pneumonia two days into a cruise so I know being sick during a cruise sucks. Get better soon!
Hoping you feel better very soon!!
So sorry to hear that you are ill.
Thank you,Thank you, Thank you for not going out of your cabin while sick. I was on a cruise and got the virus. My husband and I were quarantined. While talking to the people across the hall they told my husband that they were sick also, but didn’t tell anyone and went out on their tours. Folks, THAT’S HOW THE VIRUS KEEPS SPREADING. IF YOU ARE SICK,STAY IN!!!!!
Praying you get well soon, Don. If anyone can make lemonade from lemons, it’s you!
Sorry to hear that you are sick. At lease your ship hasn’t hit rock and sank.
The cleaning on cruise ships isn’t like it used to be. If there’s any kind of outbreak the heavy duty disinfection equipment should be brought in and used frequently. Unfortunately many passengers don’t even bother washing their hands, or isolating when they get sick, and germs spread. 😢
Wow, that's a trip to forget!!! So sorry you've come down with the norovirus. That really sucks. Going all that way, and not being able to see the ports is terribly disappointing. We are all feeling for you, Don, and wish you a speedy recovery, and that you can get to enjoy some parts of this nightmare.!!!!! Safe journey back home.
You take big care & rest Don, and hope you feel perkier very soon 🤞🤞xxhugsxx
Poor Don. Thankfully you have a balcony!
Good luck with getting better soon, Don.
I was on a cruise just prior to Christmas, I went down with the NOROVIRUS as did loads of people. I was quarantined on one deck and my family who also got it were 4 decks higher up on the ship. We missed all the festivities. Once quarantined the sick bay were superb in checking on us at least twice a day and room service arranged food for us( we were not well enough to eat)…We were kept on board until everyone had disembarked to ensure we did not pass it on. We were all meticulously about hygiene but still got it….i hope you feel better soon.
So sorry! Hope you get feeling better soon
Aww feel better soon 😢 hopefully the rest will be better 😊
So very, very sorry! I, too, am worried about your getting dehydrated. Be vigilant, you are still in recovery mode. Hoping all this turns around!
Charcoal tablets helped me when i had the runs! Stinks that you can't enjoy the cruse outside of your room
Don I do hope you feel better soon. One thing I learned from you is. Always be prepared for any situation while on your vacation. And be patient.
So I’m giving you the same advice. Looking forward to that beautiful smile again on your face ❤
Hope you are feeling better Don!! Thanks for providing us with another great report even when sick!!❤
So sorry you are not feeling well. Speedy Recovery.
So sorry for you, Don, that this happened to you. My best wishes for you to get well soon
Oh gosh. So sorry to hear you're unwell. Hope you feel better soon!
I'm so sorry, I hope you feel better soon. Thank you for sharing with us even though you don't feel well. You are such a positive person it's a lesson for all of us.
Sorry Don that you got the bug- I hope things start going better on your trip
So sorry you're sick!! Hope you feel better soon!! Praying for you!!❤❤❤
Don:
I feel for you. Get well. We are dealing with GI issues on the Azamara Onward. I have some friends that have been in isolation. It doesn't make cruising fun at all. Again get well soon.
Very sorry Don that you are not well. I hope your feeling better very soon and your holiday improves for you.
So sorry to hear that you gotten sick and I hope you get better real soon so you can enjoy the rest of your vacation.
Poor Don. I hope you get over this quickly and that everything else goes very well.
I hope you can enjoy something before the cruise is over or at least get another cruise at discount. Get well.
So sorry. Sending you good thoughts, get better soon
I'm so sorry thus happened to you Don. Hoping for a quick recovery so you can enjoy the rest of your cruise.
For what it is worth, I can so easily relate to your story. It seems whenever I push and push and push and try to put too many things back to back. Inevitably karma jumps up and bites me in the backside. Glad to hear it’s not just me. 3:39
Hi Don hope you feel better soon
When you travel please take a pack of clorox wipes also disposable gloves I never leave home without them.
Oh no, Don!!!! I'm so sorry. I thought, when you mentioned Norovirus on your ship, that it would be horrible if your crazy vacation ended up with you having this. Hopefully, you'll have a couple of days that you can enjoy. Take care of yourself.
It appears as if the ship didn’t clean up as good as they should have prior to his cruise as there was an outbreak of Noro on the previous sailing.
I find yoghourt helps soothe digestive system and help rebuild the fauna in it. Good luck getting better !
Look at it on the bright side: you're not gaining weight durig this cruise !
Make sure the yogurt has active bacteria/agents in it vs overprocessed yogurt slop drinks that don't have the live Flora.
Dairy should be avoided with noro.
@lisah.8653 after the 48hrs it replenishes the floral in gut. It's not during the active phase
@@joywebster2678 mine was active for 4 days
Feel so bad for you Don, hoping you get better soon and are able to enjoy the rest of your trip 🥰🥰
Awwww Don what a bummer. Stay hydrated and hang in there! Get well soon.
Kinda glad the Sun is cancelled. You have had quite the voyage that is for sure. Love ya Get better soon
Get well soon Don. Things will get better❤️
Feel better soon Don. What a traveling time, then noro & no sun princess too. So from now sunny days, times !
wow, so sorry Don, hope things get better
Prayers to you...and to your health.❤
So sorry you aren't feeling well. Hopefully you will be better soon.
Sorry Don. Hope you feel better soon.
Oh Don 😕, I’m sorry it’s been blah 😬. I hope you feel much better soon! That’s a lot. I’ll be sending positive thoughts your way.
My thoughts and prayers Don. Get well soon
Wow!!!! Praying for you buddy. That's really a bad break.
I am so sorry this has happened to you. I came down with a cold on the third day of my Scarlet Lady voyage but still could enjoy my balcony and excellent room service. See if they can send you some broth.
Aww, I hope you're feeling well soon! Hang in there and know we are all rooting for you!
Norovirus only has one source and it's a ship that has some breach in it's sanitation protocols. The food coming onto the ship may come from questionable suppliers which is always high on the list. Poor cleaning of the kitchens and dining areas is another sore spot for cruise lines. Too many people confined in a small area is always a formula for problems - especially if you're traveling with other passengers with lots of class - all low.
Praying for a speedy recovery, Don! Hang in there! This, too, shall pass!
Hydrate and rest. Prayers for you Don
Sorry to hear of your continuing challenges, Don. I hope you recover fully and quickly.
We recently travelled from Midwest U.S. to Brisbane. Multiple delays and other issues caused our travel time to be over 35 hours (only 27 to get back). We were to sail on Regent Seven Seas, back in 2021, one of our first cruises cancelled during the shutdown.
Oh Don, after all you have been through recently you certainly don't deserve this. Please get well soon. I admire you for continuing to post these videos for us despite all!
Get well soon!!! I just got back from a cruise Saturday and I now have Covid ugh!!!!
I'm so sorry you're going through this, Don. I pray for your healing!!! 🙌🏾🙏🏾🤗
Oh man Don! Hope things swing the other direction!
Oh no!! Feel better soon!!
Hope you’re feeling better soon Don , that virus is awful at anytime but when you’re on holiday it’s dreadful! Sending our love & best wishes from the English Lake District ⚓️🛳🛟
Prayers you'll get well soon God Bless 🙏
Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Stay hydrated, get some extra sleep, and try to stay positive. Hopefully it will pass soon, so you can enjoy the rest of your trip!
Ugh, that just sucks. What a double edged sword cruising is. You typically want to do it in the winter to get out of the cold weather, but that comes with cold and flu season, airline disruptions etc etc. Sorry buddy, get well soon.
Feel better, and get home safe!
Sorry Don. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Hang in there Don, I am sure you will feel better in a day or two!
