Mr. Sanchos. They do massages. No cover charge last time I was at Cozumel. — Charles

Last time I was at Cozumel, a year ago they charged admission. — Charles

I can’t help you with massages, but the Mexican law is written so that no hotel can charge an access fee to get to the beach. However, they can charge a fee for using their lounge chairs, umbrellas, pools, patios, etc. There used to be a thriving business where some unscrupulous people were wandering around with a very official looking money pouch on their waist telling tourists that they had to pay a buck or two to be on the beach if they didn’t have a room key. Most hotels are pretty good about chasing those guys off.

Your masseuse is a rare find, and a jewel. I know. She comes to my house on Tuesdays. I have had many disappointments with the massages I have received on ships. They have quoted 50 minute massages which turned into 40 minute massages, the first ten minutes being spent unnecessarily "interviewing". I have had a few nice experiences getting massages on beaches, especially in Cozumel. Ermalee

Don’t forget the ‘tip’, which the poor Steiner girl ahs to ask for herself, as she is also the cashier for the transaction, and the hard sell for beauty products. Chris

Response:

As posted here by others, they are expensive, and frankly the quality has been hit or miss. I’ve heard people complain that the men are very rough on other men. My husband now gets a massage the day before we leave at a local spa. We’re supporting a local business and he gets to go into vacation mode a day early.

early. Sounds good to me, especially from the point of view of supporting local businesses.

Response:

Response:

Yeah; but they usually want a reservation. how much for total body massage 45min-1hr? Too much, man. You used to (up until about 3 years ago) be able to get 50 min for $50 when ships were in port. The going rate now for 50 min on a ship is about $110. And most of the time it really sucks. In contrast, my wife and I have a talented masseuse that comes to our house every Wednesday. We each get an hour and a half, and the total bill for both of us is $60. I admit that that this fee is ridiculously low; but $110 for 50 min from one of the Steiner chicks is ridiculously high. Where are you cruising steve? If it’s someplace tropical, you might want to save your massage for the beach. Howie

Response:

LOL You got to be kidding us, Howie. > We each get an hour and a half, and the total bill for >both of us is $60. I admit that that this fee is ridiculously low;

Would you post a copy of the 1099? I mean, you DO file a 1099 for the independent contractors you hire, right? You know, federal tax laws and all? >but >$110 for 50 min from one of the Steiner chicks is ridiculously high.

Bet they report incomes. so let’s recap. Howie illegally hires a masseuse, Steiner doesn’t, but Howie is oh so proud that he lowballs some poor independent contractor who gets the "pleasure" of rubbing Howie and Eileen The Nutcase for untaxed wages. Hmmmm. WORD! INTEGER! HYPOCRITE!

Response:

going up the pacific coast on a repo. steiner chicks? are these musclebound women like the steiner brothers wrestlers?

Response:

Steve… I cruise quite often and yeh… at least once during a cruise I retain one of the Steiner "chicks" to massage away the aches and pains in this old man’s decrepid body. The Steiner gals that I have had for this service… most were rather attractive and personable. But Howie is right… it’s awfully expensive. For people on a budget… I would say forget it. And no unfortunately… I don’t have any wild sea stories about my high seas massages. (smile) Best regards Bill

They come in all shapes and sizes but I do have a funny story. On one cruise, I had a russian masseuse who was tapping rather gently on my body. I asked her if she could give go a little deeper. After telling me that I had only paid for a Sweedish massage, she immediately got up on my back, on her knees (she was a rather big lady), and began pounding away like I was a piece of meat that she was tenderizing. When I protested that although I like a deep massage, I am really not into heavy pain, the bitch replied "you asked for it and you’re going to get it." Howie

I dunno? If it was a dude, he might have suffered some serious pain himself. With a woman, all that sexist chivalry stuff gets in the way of some good defensive moves.

Response:

> Some people do respond faster to 6 mp.

Some people don’t respond at all. So it’s best to give averages. If someone expects it to work in 1 month they will most likely be very disappointed. Also sometimes it appears to work faster but it’s more a pyschological effect.

someone expects it to work in 1 month they will most likely be very disappointed. Also sometimes it appears to work faster but it’s more a pyschological effect. And sometimes it does work faster and it is not the placebo effect.

hi amanda gee i am on almost the same stuff lol…9 tabs of asacol, 50mg of 6mp..now on 5mg pred from a flare i had back in may…i was on 100mg of 6mp and feeling a lOT better than this…but we had to decrease it due to liver function problems..wish i could be on it again..it took several months to affect me..about 5 til i noticed anything..but wow..it really helped me a lot..i dont take stuff like fish oils etc..lots of things upset my tummy..like that…sometimes flares just seem to h appen no matter what u are doing…if he will give u more 6mp..go for it..u might experience..if u havent yet..some of the 6mp side effects..like horrid nausea(feels like u are pregnant..only worse…) u can ask him for compazine for that..it really helped me the first couple of months..then the nausea slowly went away and i was fine..all my ibd symptoms were better with the 6mp..i didnt need the pain stuff for joint pain..i stopped running fevers…etc etc..now on 50 mg i am kinda back where i was before..but still better than with no 6mp..definitely take it..but be sure u get all your blood work done as often as u are told to..i still go about every 3 weeks..u wont know if the 6mp is causing a problem..the blood work will tell your md before it causes any real damage.. take care and good luck annie

Response:

Some people do respond faster to 6 mp.

Response:

Also ask your doc about some allergic reactions to asacol that includes diarhea, etc that can mimic a flare. He definetely needs to increase the dose of 6mp.

Response:

Doing the fishoils and flaxseed oils is a good start but it’s just not enough . Also I’m hoping you are taking Mineral Ascorbates for your source of Vitamin C and not Ascorbic Acid. The obvious reason being Ascorbic Acid as the name implies is acidic and may not be doing your guts any favors. There is a book out called "What Your Doctor Doesn’t Know about Nutritional Medicine Maybe Killing you" By Ray D. Strand It’s a good read! and it may help you in finding your nutritional needs.

Response:

First off 6MP can take 3-6+ months to be effective. Generally less than 3 it’s not effective. Can take up to 9 months for maximum effectiveness. So if you were feeling great "immediately" it was due to the prednisone. It’s no wonder you flared when you reduced the pred. How much do you weigh? You should be taking 1.5mg/kg, if you weigh say 150 pounds that would be 100mg. If your doctor didn’t explain this to you ask him about it. And yes increase the 6MP ASAP, because the 3-6 months starts ticking once you’re on a weight-based dose. In other words, you still have another 3+ months to go.

SLEAZE Alert Edgar/Ray modified this Press Release Here is a link to the unaltered release http://www.hollandamerica.com/aboutus/news/press/3corp027.htm He changed the post only to mislead readers, not to add any value. He wanted you to believe that Holland America released a statement saying that one could only obtain information about HAL from a Travel Professional when in fact this is not what they said at all. Edgar/Ray’s tactic of altering a Press Release to intentionally deceive readers of what the original author intended is not only unethical it is down right sleazy. He continually uses these deceptive practices solely to advertise the Travel Agency that he runs it out of his duplex in Carpinteria (his website says Santa Barbara, but that is another lie). If this guy lies about Press Releases, lies about his address and even lies about his name, how could you trust him with your money? Sincerely THE SLEAZE POLICE
