  1. Our Eva loves watching the shower than licking the water. Sometimes she will sit under the shower bench while I shower. She stays mostly dry unless I turn on the shower head on that side.
  2. Starlinks has definitely improved internet. $21 is probably the lowest I've seen recently. I say go for it then you can keep in touch and send all of us photos 😁
  3. Ahh sorry to hear all these issues. Good news you have now reached 3 and all will get better soon. Positive thoughts and prayers for everyone🙏🙏🙏
  4. I imagine he has to be re-trained on all daily activities and how to go potty without lifting up a leg. Someone I used to work with had a dog with a wheelchair. It didn't stop him from living life. He was full of energy and ran around all the time playing fetch, etc. That is Great that everyone is going to work with. Is your GS dog a small or large dog?
  5. Good job! I'm sure it felt so good. Eric had a similar situation when he fractured his coccyx (I think that's what it was called). The OT and PT couldn't figure it out either. They suggested a transfer board so we ordered one but that didn't fit. So we figured it out pretty much like you did. Our master bathroom has been remodeled and now have stand up shower only. We hardly ever used the jacuzzi tub since the kids grew up. Hopefully the pain is subsiding😍
  6. Ah the poor pup, sorry to hear surgery didn't go well. Here's hoping for a miracle and that he will walk again someday soon.🙏
  7. You may want to consider driving to port. Should be approx 4 hr drive from northern Virginia If train is a must you may want to arrive day before just to make sure no delays with train due to weather, etc.
  8. A cruise is a great place to try different foods at any of the venues. You can order multiple appetizers, entrees, deserts just note it can take a little longer as they usually bring one person at a time in the MDR. We love the omelet station in the buffet for breakfast. Dining times for breakfast will vary based on port arrival times and sea days. Buffet usually opens at 7 am and dining at 8 am for breakfast on sea days. The App will tell you the times.
  9. Yes, bed can be converted to 2 twins. Ask your room steward once you board. Depending on how much you drink per day you may want to buy the soda only pkg. Or you can bring a 12 pk of your own on boarding day. Coffee, tea (hot or iced), juices and milks are all included in your cruise fare. Plus as firefly said the buffet area called Windjammer, solarium bistro, parks cafe in the promenade always has flavored waters and lemonade. 270 cafe is also a great place for lunch or breakfast sandwiches.
  10. Sorry to hear about hubby's back and neck issues. You could ask your room steward for a kettle (tea) for your cabin.
  11. Love that secret door on deck 6 to 270. We've stayed many times on deck 6 and use that door a lot. Although I do hate how heavy it is. Also the secret elevator to the right of entering through the door is Great for anyone with mobility issues.
  12. Excellent having the bed near balcony will make it much easier to turn the scooter around near the sofa (you can ask the room steward to remove the small round coffee table). My DH had back issues a cruise last year and we rented a scooter. Waiting for an elevator that has room for a scooter can be an obstacle. I recommend leaving for dining at least 15 minutes early since the elevator wait can be long especially during dinner time. The scooter would be delivered to your cabin and they have wheelchair assistance at the port to help you board and disembark. We usually board closer to 1 pm when cabins are usually ready. During your cruise stop by guest services and ask where you can meet for assistance off the ship and usually can leave the scooter there (does not have to be left in cabin as some say). Room steward may offer for you to leave the scooter in the hallway at night time with the key in and they will pick up sometime around midnight and bring it back around 5 am all charged up. At least this is what they did for my DH. One night we had a knock on the door around 1 am as he forgot to leave the key in it.
  13. No need to visit each restaurant to book your reservations. While you are onboard ask one of the restaurants if you are able to book for the following sailing. I believe we have done this the last night of the first cruise. If they say no, then before they allow passengers to board for 2nd sailing take advantage of the empty ship and ask to book your dining selections.
