SEADAY’S
First of all happy St Patrick’s day . The Corona virus the talk of the day around ship. Severe cleaning going on. Handrails and door handles no less than 6 times a day. Very strict control at the hand was stations. Now the next 2 stops are cancelled, we are sailing straight for Fort Lauderdale. For the missed portion of our Cruise we were offered 125% credit plus another $250 credit. I could live with that regarding the circumstances we were in. The plan was to fly to Vancouver on Friday. When I woke up this morning I noticed some light floaters in my right eye, didn’t think much of it. Business as usual through out the day. Pool side and gym. Small st Patrick’s activity at night.
The following morning my eye was much worse. Went to the onboard medical clinic. I could hardly see out of my right eye. Doctor figured something happened to my retina. I was advised to see an eye specialist asap when we were on shore. Didn’t do much else today then pondering my situation and what to do and where.
Woke up this AM , my eyes were the same as yesterday. At this point I was planning to fly to Phoenix tomorrow and find a clinic. I didn’t want to do anything thing in Lauderdale in case I couldn’t fly afterwards. It was Going to be Phoenix or in Canada. I send a note off to my eye doctor in Nanaimo. The note I got back was that I likely couldn’t see anybody while I was in the 2 week lock up period. As I was Al preparing to go to phoenix and get my eye fixed there, I learned of the Vancouver retina clinic. After contacting them, they agreed that they would see me Friday night after my scheduled landing. That was a big relief. On the afternoon of the 19th the ship organised a farewell party on the pool deck with music and free drinks. As a good boy I followed doctors orders and stuck to drinking water only. We said goodbye to the friends we made and to some of the crew. The evening we dedicated to packing our bags. On our sail back through the night we must have passed by at least 30+ anchored idle cruise ships. Some of them saluted us with their search lights when we sailed by them.
Cheers
