D&TTexasCruisers

We take our collapsible cooler and yes the steward will fill it with ice for you and they just keep a beach towel folded under it in case it leaks which it will a little bit and yes we take it folded up inside our luggage. It just keeps our sodas and bottled water cold for us.

We had the same problem with the elevators on the ship. People would push past my husband who is on the heart transplant list and has a blockage in his leg which makes standing and walking painful and was pushing my son who is disabled and cannot walk. I finally got to where I wouild get in front of one elevator and when it came I would stand there and block everyone while my husband and son got on, it is really sad that people cant be anymore courteous than that. We actually had one of the pursers that helped us out she would come with us and when he elevator would come she would make people get out to let us in if that is what it took to get us where we were going. We would be more than happy to trade places with all those people!
