Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / February 2005swimsuit shopping
Curt and I are going on a cruise later this month. We are going out of Galveston Tx and will visit Key West FLA, George Town, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. The other 4 days are at sea. I went swimsuit shopping (you can never have too many) and all they really had out were those halter tie type. . not a good fit for a busty gal. I am hoping a few more styles come out soon. I have 2 or 3 left from last year, but I spent a lot of time in our pool so they got a bit faded from the bromine. I live in Minnesota so a lot of people go on trips this time of year to deal with the "winter Blahs". so there is a certain amount of "cruise wear" displayed at the stores. although, It was 50F here today. beautiful day. I saw about 10 motorcycles out today (still way too sandy for me) but I had my windows downs and the music pumping. Nirvana Unplugged.

I've had good luck with Sears, they have a section of swimsuits here that are specifically for us "well endowed" types. It's way more comfy when the bust section actually FITS you the way it's supposed to. land end makes great suits in larger sizes.

They have plus sizes, but they do not have busty sizes. After two people suggested that... I went looking on the internet to see if I was mistaken... nope. http://www.landsend.com/cd/popup/0,,copyName=pop_swim_0704_glossary.html Their website link above lists their different swimsuit sizes, and the highest cup size they go to is a D. I only wish I was that small. > Their website link above lists their different swimsuit sizes, and the > highest cup size they go to is a D.

Yes, Rhapsody of the Seas. who sucks up to the Texans? The ship's crew? did you enjoy the trip? Lori >> Rhapsody of the Seas, perchance?

The cruise was faboo, except for the Texas overkill -- Texas flags everywhere, cowboy dress-up night, at least two instances of the dining room staff singing "Deep in the Heart of Texas"... sheesh. Well, I guess they know where their bread is buttered. Or chilied. The beauty of a cruise is that it's so simple to keep low carbing (as long as you can avoid the desserts). My advice is to eat every meal in the dining room -- AVOID THE BUFFET. The food isn't nearly as good in the buffet, and in the dining room you can have anything you want. Have a great time, and be sure to report back. ---- Face your fears. Live your dreams. They may not be sucking up to the Texans. I have been on several cruises in the past few years, and we always went at the same general time of the year. And every cruise had an Irish theme, the-irish-dancing, boiled dinner night (etc..) Finally I asked the cruise people what was going on... It seems that cruises, at least NCL, has themed cruises that follow year to year. This year we are going in May instead of Sept. Hopefully there will be no irish-dancing night. (Not that we didnt enjoy it, but a change would be nice). All that said, you should ask your travel agent or the cruise line directly about any themes or things of that nature... or maybe not, I could be completely off the mark :-) either way, enjoy!! cruising is great.. -Andrea >>>Rhapsody of the Seas, perchance?

I'd like to know if the Wal-Mart's, TJ Max and stores in general, sell bathing suits in Florida all year round. I'll be going down in April and would rather take the time and try on a new suit. It probably will remind me to not over eat while I'm there also! > They may not be sucking up to the Texans.

I know some of the RCCL cruises leave out of TX - which could be why it was TX themed. I left out of Miami on Explorer of the Seas and they didn't suck up to Texans on our cruise - same cruise line as Rhapsody of the Seas. We went to the buffets all day and in the formal dining at night. On the buffets - I could choose whatever I wanted - I had only been LC'ing a short time when I went - but I had no real desire for starches. I did eat fresh pineapple every day. I stuck with non deep-fried meats, salads, vegetables, diet soda and water. I came home from the cruise and didn't gain any weight while out (7 nights). We did a lot of walking while on the cruise. I'm ready to go again.

Yes, this cruise leaves from Galveston -- incidentally, they were remodeling the port last year and it looked like a bomb had hit it. I hope it's improved! >We >went to the buffets all day and in the formal dining at night. On the >buffets - I could choose whatever I wanted. I was speaking specifically of the buffet on Rhapsody of the Seas -- unless they've since paid attention to my comment card, it's TERRIBLE. I'd liken it to cafeteria food. However, the dining room food was terrific, and I really enjoyed the personal attention. ---- Face your fears.

We loved our nitely dinners in the dining room with the same 3 wait staff every night. Our assitant waiter went out with us twice to the ports. Good looking young man from India. Used to be a dancer and had the body for it. I am looking forward to planning another cruise. Diane > ---- > Face your fears. > Live your dreams. ok sorry for the bump, but this has to be addressed.... the texas "overkill" you mention isnt overkill. its just how we are here. we are proud to be texan, we love texas, we've killed presidents, hoodlums, and we still have laws on the books that says you can be hung in town square! who can beat that? anyway, its not just on the cruise youll find that sort of thing. just about every town in texas will show you the same kind of pride. while i might not understand it not being from texas, ive lived here long enough to sort of enjoy it. > ok sorry for the bump, but this has to be addressed.... the texas > "overkill" you mention isnt overkill. its just how we are here. we [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > show you the same kind of pride. while i might not understand it not > being from texas, ive lived here long enough to sort of enjoy it. Who's post were you refferring to? I am also from TX which is why I responded - I didn't mention the overkill - only respond based on another cruise from the same cruise line. I love TX and San Antonio. Diane Hi Does anyone know where or how one can buy a swimdress, similar to a swimsuit that extends almost kneelength? One swims in it and can easily walk around in beach areas and hotel lobbys-not worrying about a cover-up. They are not the height of fashion this year. Three years ago I purchased a few in a maternity shop, Judy > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Judy Judy I hope these links work. you might have to copy and paste all the lines together. The first link is to the whole site incase the second link doesnt work. The second like is to the swim dress/dresses. www.llbean.com http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?storeId=1&catalo gId=1&categoryId=39928&feat=et&from=GM&noDept=&guideId=7280&moduleId=7290 www.Spiegel.com http://www.spiegel.com/shop/thumbnail.asp?nav_cat_id=435&gp_cat_id=284&category_ id=3644 http://www.newport-news.com http://www.newport-news.com/shop/subcat_twelve.asp?gpcatID=2012&pacatID=2013&cat ID=4893 I found lots of links but these are the places I know and would use. :o) Angie |
