I am going to bring empty water bottles and fill them with free tap water or from ice water pitchers.

I thought about ordering up a scooter for me on this cruise.

 

There is a company that rents them for $175 for a 7 night cruise. They are delivered to you cabin on the ship and are supposed to be waiting for you ready to go when you board. At the end of the cruise you leave it in your cabin.

 

I guess that I am not yet ready to "give up" and admit that I can't walk around like I used to.

 

I sent an email to my surgeon and he responded yesterday that he thinks some physical therapy will help me a lot so I am going to start that next week.

 

My next cruise is on the Allure in January and I have decided that if I cannot improve my walking skills by then I will rent a scooter for the cruise.

 

It is funny that last week I got a letter from "The Scooter Store" wanting to pre-qualify me for a Scooter from Medicare.

I have a power chair. As my walking skills improve, I am using it less & less. There are some long walks on board and at ports, so I am not going to give the power chair up for some time.

I still need to go back and read this thread. We're booked in Feb and transport/hotel is still something I need to book. We're flying in the day before and I think we'll do the car rental. So nice to have found this so quickly!!

After reading many threads and visiting many web sites, we have booked country inn & suites for the night before the cruise. Plan on eating at Rusty's. Will try to get an airboat tour before or after the cruise.
