Hi, I have cruised many times with my partner, however, this time my mother who is 84, has decided she wants to come, which is great as she has never flown or travelled very far.

We are going on a transatlantic in October on the Celebrity Eclipse from Southampton, and fly home from Miami, I'm worried about how she will cope with the excursions, as she sometimes suffers with pain in her feet !! we usually do our own excursions when we disembark, do anyone know if we can have a lightweight wheelchair and if there would be a cost for this ? She's adamant that she won't need one, but I have a feeling that she will be glad of it. Also any suggestions about getting around will be gratefully appreciated, we will be doing Boston, New York, Bahamas and Bermuda, ending in Miami. I didn't have the heart to tell her that it may be to much for her as she was so excited when she rang told me she wanted to come.

A very worried daughter

Thanks everyone for your replies, much appreciated. I think I'm ok now, and have a good mix of clothes for hot, humid and some rain !! Need to sort out a few bits and pieces and I'm done. :)

Hi

I'm going on a Southern Asian Cruise in November starting in Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand ending in Hong Kong, and just don't know whether to pack for warm, hot weather or will it be cold. I've got a fairly good mix but as we will be flying from United Kingdom, don't want to be overloaded !! :confused:
