Thank you for the ideas!

We are on RC Explorer of the Seas to these ports in September. My 86 yo dad is going along. Greece has always been on his bucket list. He gets around good but has arthritis and some days are tough to walk long distances. Anyone done this itinerary that can suggest excursions to see the sights and experience Greece but has an option to just sit in a cafe if he’s having a bad day and can’t walk for miles? Anything that includes local cuisine/ wine/ or spirits would be a plus.

We just stayed at the Hotel Renew. We booked a premium ocean view room and had a balcony. It was small but very clean and staff went out of their way to be helpful. The location was perfect, could walk or bus anywhere you want to go.

Baggage service was not available on Reflection in November. I know we missed it.

We did our first 15 day Panama Canal cruise last fall. I packed about the same way I do for 7 day + 1 extra carry on (usually between my DH and myself I pack 2 suitcases and 1 carry on). We wore almost everything twice and mixed and matched. I hand wash all our lightweight quick to dry things at night and hang them discreetly on the back of the balcony chairs on hangers/clothes pins. Everything is dry in the morning ready to put away. We also sent some tees and shorts to the laundry each week. It worked for us. Have a great trip[emoji41]

Great suggestions from a lot of folks. I too would like to see a return to traditional cruising. We seem to have lost this option on the mega ships. Improve the food in the mdr, enlarge/improve staterooms on smaller ships, embrace formal nights. Put chocolates back on the pillows (I an dating myself)!

We are heading to Labadee in the fall on Liberty. I was planning on getting a cabana while there. If I reserve one for my hubby and I, will there be enough room for my parents to hang out there with us? Which ones would be easiest for a 70-something with a cane to manage?

70 days!:d
