I have a question about rising from the chairs in the dining room and the buffet. I have a lot of difficulty getting out of a chair. I do have a walker that I've never used because I really do prefer the cane and so far it has serviced me well. This next cruise though I believe I am going to take the walker for I think I may need it. My question is this. Does the ship provide anything that will help me get up and down from a chair? A pillow of some sort or a cushion? I'd be willing to purchase something but I don't know what to buy. Any suggestions? Also, how would a walker work getting on a bus for a an excursion and going up and down the ramp to get on and off the ship? Is it very difficult? Thank you

You guys out there are the best! So many people that need help getting around need this information. I'm glad you're out there to help! Thank you

Ps... How did you end up getting to your cabin?

That scares me. I felt such confidence when Holland America told me that they would take me from the pier to my room and back again when it was time to leave. I'm gonna call them again just to be sure.

I would never leave my cat in a kennel. That's why it's great that I can travel and my husband stays home.

Okay, I'm pretty sure you're right but I'm just telling you what holland America told me.

I was told it starts at the Pier. They will take you to your room And at the end of the cruise they will take you from your room to the Pier.

It sounds wonderful that you were treated with respect and dignity at a very scary time. Great great great

I'd be careful of a singles cruise. You want to go solo And that means any cruise ship.
