Wow, that stinks for your friend. In a way I guess it's good to hear I'm not the only one who's had a lot of trouble after. Until now I haven't heard of anyone else. I had a cavity once in like 8th grade. It was tiny and I hadn't felt it, and that was the only dental work I'd ever had until now, besides cleanings, etc. I can now report that it sucks as much as I suspected.
Mati - I'm sorry your little one is feeling under the weather. It's good that we still have time before the cruise & I hope he will feel better quickly.
I was a little disappointed to see the change to Nassau in a way when I looked it up on a cruise news site earlier. I went to Nassau on a 3 day cruise with family (my 1st) back in 2001 and when we got to the town part, and then again to paradise island (just a pit in the sand sorta) my reaction was pretty much "THIS?? THIS IS THE PLACE EVERYBODY GOES ON ABOUT???!!!" lol That being said, I guess I did have a good time and I would go back. Nassau had occurred to me as an alternative port the other day. I mostly don't care where we go, I just love to cruise and it's been so long. Yes, I had been looking forward to being in the really turquoisey water, since I only shopped briefly last time in Cozumel. Since this whole mess started, I've been SO hoping for a 2nd CC day. I wish they'd do it for ours if things are still up in the air by then. I figure a day at CC probably cost them more money, though, so I guess that would lessen the chance.
Didn't the straw market burn down years ago or something? Did they rebuild it?
