I have been on 10 cruises. On the last cruise I needed a cane but otherwise was quite mobile. Since then I have had a partial spinal cord injury and I need a walker to walk. To shower the OH helps give me support.

Im wondering how my new disability will affect my ability to cruise. My favorite cruises are beach related ones during our cold winters. Is it really possible to visit a beach when you need a walker? Is there some substitute that is close. 

I’ve never been on an Alaska cruise. I’m thinking of going this July probably with HAL. I am wondering what days are like. Is it mostly a matter of views while you are sailing or are excursions at the ports the big highlight?

in terms of whether I am picturing sweaters anytime outdoors even if it is July plus raincoats. 

I am guessing we will need a better telephoto lens for the DLSR.

in terms of the main pool I figure that the roof will be closed.

all in all it. Seems like a great idea and the polar opposite of a Caribbean cruise.

I am going on a cruise on the 10th with HAL out of Port Everglades. My arthritis has been bad this year and for the past while I have been walking with my cane a lot.

Any tips on getting through the embarkation process? It hurts me to stand for too long and I am wobbly on my feet sometimes.
