Are there any such things as cruises for groups of people with ostomies?

Yeah a year ago I wouldn't have known what to ask to find out I had a parastomal hernia. The only reason I knew about them is from this site. Thank goodness for this site. Otherwise I would still be clueless. If I hadn't though from stuff on here to ask my surgeon about having a hernia, then I would have never had the CT and I would have never known that she should have known about it a year ago.

Yeah, good idea, but it has to go from Newcastle: Liverpool or Southampton. Haha.

Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation.

Our local ostomy group down in South Florida was putting one together, then COVID hit. Maybe it's time to revisit…

Good idea. It has to be one with a casino on board; many of them do. I will double everyone's money or maybe triple it if instructions are followed. The croupiers and pit boss are not as professional as in those dens of iniquity found on shore. On the other hand, I may have to jump overboard to avoid irate ostomates after my blood for losing their money. The former scenario is more likely than the latter. In any case, lots of fun and games will be had by all.

Probably not exclusively, but there's nothing stopping a group from getting together and doing a cruise. I'd do a cruise with you 🙂

That's a great idea to cruise! The food better be delicious; lots of foodies are here!

I know loads of baggers who go on cruises!
I know an ostomate who books a cabin with an opening porthole to throw his bags out to sea! 😂😂
