Our Flight to Barcelona is leaving Logan....

[innlady1]

Now! :(

 

And, we're not on it. :mad: On Friday, I had to cancel our vacation to Barcelona and the Transatlantic crossing on the Noordam.

 

Tooth pain that I ignored (hoping it would go away) and trying to convince myself it was sinuses . Wrong. My dentist took xrays and she sent me to the endodontist who has done several root canals. I have a fractured root canal and an abscess. She had put me on Amoxycillin but it didn't do much so the endo. switched to a stronger antibiotic. Finally feeling better. Seeing the oral surgeon for it to be extracted and then an implant.

 

So, no cruise for us. I'm counting our blessings...this is the first we've cancelled. And, I hope last!

[cruz chic]

What a drag! I'm so sorry to hear that.

[albingirl]

Oh no! So sorry to hear this. What a disappointment for you. Thinking of you and hoping to hear you are better.

[POA1]

So sorry to hear that.

[Vict0riann]

So sorry! But it'll give you a chance to plan the next one!

[freestyling]

Sorry to hear about the cancellation but understand the pain involved with teeth problems. Start planning while you recoup :)

[sail7seas]

So sorry to hear you had to cancel.

Hope your tooth issue gets resolved as smoothly as possible.

[sppunk]

Oh no. :(

 

A blessing though the tooth issue flared at home and not in the middle of the Atlantic.

[dobiemom]

Oh no. :(

I was thinking the same thing. Hope you are feeling better (and cruising again!) soon. :)

[Rowsby]

Sheila....I am so sorry.....:(

Thank goodness for insurance....and hope you can plan something fun real soon........!!!

[OVgirl]

So sorry that you had to cancel and yes, also about your tooth.:(

I know you have had this cruise in the cooker for a long time.

You should be ship shape by February.

Hurry and get better.:)

[PathfinderEss]

Sorry to hear about your tooth. Man do I know about teeth problems

and know how painful that can be. Glad your getting it taken care of but

sorry your going to miss your cruise.

As you proceed through the travel insurance claim process, it would be wonderful if you wouldn't mind sharing how easy or hard it is. I've never made any claim and wonder how difficult some insurers make it to collect on legitimate claims.

I will report my experience here, Judy. I'm not looking forward to it. 11 pages of forms to be completed. I will wait until I've had the surgery.

 

Three dentists so I'm trying to decide which one should be the one to fill out the paper work. And it gets more complicated from there!

 

I think we booked this cruise on the NA last fall. So ovgirl is correct, it's been "a long time in the cooker". And, just like that, goes poof!

 

[sapper1]

That's such a shame Sheila. And the tooth business is no fun either. Hope you get settled away soon and get another cruise booked.

[Daisyloo]

Innlady, I feel your pain! I had the same thing -fractured root, extraction and implant. It was not a fun time. I feel bad for you having to cancel a much anticipated cruise, but like others have said, its better than having pain in the middle of the atlantic. Hope all the stages of your dental work go smoothly. Good luck.

Was there one dentist of the three that specifically told you to not travel?

 

[mikeange]

We will miss you on this cruise. Feel Better!

[Cruzin Terri]

Sheila,

Having been through a cancellation this past August, I know what it is like. Believe me, be happy it happened here and not there.

I hope it all goes well and the insurance process is easy and quick.

[Boytjie]

Oh, no, Sheila! What a disappointment. Good look with the tooth extraction and implant - mine was a long process but not too painful.

[RJ2002]

Very sorry to hear about your tooth problem, but glad to hear that you are feeling better.

 

We had to cancel a cruise several years ago due to a broken foot which required surgery. Thankfully, we also had insurance. In our case, the carrier paid very promptly after we submitted all the paperwork. It may look daunting, but hopefully it will all go smoothly for you as well.

 

Get well soon and book another cruise! :)

[erewhon]

Sheila,

So sorry to read that you had to cancel your cruise due to dental problems, hope all goes well during the treatment.

[RuthC]

It's a shame that you had to miss a trip that you have looked forward to for so long. But you are accepting it well (pain meds helping on that?). You will heal, and there will be other trips.

Take care.

[durangoscots]

Bummer!!! Sorry about both the loss of the cruise and the pain of the dental work. Hope you feel alot better real soon and that the plans for the next cruise carry you through.

Ouch! So sorry about your cruise. Dental pain is my ultimate horror! I can take just about any pain ... except tooth pain. Hope you feel better soon.
