Hi all, this is really interesting. I've just been on a two-week cruise to Spitsbergen and further north. I have suffered from swollen ankles occasionally previously but only in very hot weather and on long flights and couldn't understand why my ankles were swollen as I didn't fly and the weather wasn't that hot. I am relieved that this appears to be a not uncommon side effect of cruising. I've been home for a few days and thankfully my ankles are back to normal. Thanks for all the preventative suggestions.
