Don't leave home without

Eyewash...or a least an eye cup. My daughter rubbed her eye after we had been at the beach and a small grain of sand got in there. Wow, did it hurt. The doctor was not on duty and the front desk gave us a liter bottle of sterile water, which did us very little good without an eye cup. We were able to get it out by lying her back and just pouring the water slowly into her eye. Not fun!! You may think this was a fluke, but the same thing happen to one our travel companions on a different cruise. Hope this helps someone.
 
When traveling on a cruise I think people should pack things they'd almost never think of using at home. (It's usually been our situation. If we leave something at home, the only time we'll need it is when we don't have it!)

We look as if we're a traveling pharmacy.:hyper:

Another tip..if ever traveling w/prescription medication, pack it in your carry-on.

I saw the A & E show 'airline' a couple of weeks ago, where a woman who missed her flight already checked her luggage and her life-saving prescriptions were in her luggage!
 
I never thought of it but that's a fantastic idea.
Thanks!

Wow I feel really bad for your daughter. That really HURTS!!! Glad it all worked out for you. It must have been a terrible ordeal!!

I do have a few questions if you don't mind. Do you mean there are times when there are no doctors or medical professionals on duty? This really concerns me. Emergencies can happen anytime!! And secondly, if I may ask, did they charge you for the sterile water?

I hope this didn't ruin your trip. Thanks for taking the time to share your tip. I'm going out to buy an eye cup!!
 

They did not charge for the water. There are times when the medical facility is closed. I would imagine if it was an emergency, they would contact someone. I guess it is only an emergency if they have something in their eye!
