For me it's not the cruise, but the flight. I went from Maine to Disneyworld in February, changed flights, but had the worst swelling in my feet and legs, ever. I have always had swelling, but never this bad. Of course, I hiked many miles that week, then flew home and my legs were so hard, up to my knees, that I went to the Dr. the next day. A prescription for lasix took care of it,in a couple of days, but it was scary. I have been on 6 cruises and never had any trouble-I think that menopause played a role. I am cruising next March and have compression stockings to wear and lasix to take. I will make sure too get up and move around more, on the plane.
