Lucy is AMAZING!!! I am looking forward to our ship arriving there next year, July 7th-9th for almost 3 full days and going on tours each day with Lucy and Pete. They know ALL the very best places to go, see and do! I am looking forward to the Luau and fire dancers on the 8th the most! 🙂 I HIGHLY recommend their awesome, professional, knowledgeable services!

I am so sorry to hear about you and your Dad's experience. I had a similiar experience on a 21 day panama canal trip on the Norwegian Bliss in Nov 2019. When we left for the ship that morning, my Mom was normal, vibrant and alert. Because of negligence on the part of the Bliss, after she arrived, but before I got to the ship,,,,and then into that evening after we sailed. My Mom deteriorated physically and mentally. Morning of Nov 3rd, she was great, the morning of Nov 4th, she was like a 2 year old child in EVERY way...and for the next 3 weeks, she did little improvement. She got off the ship once, in Aruba, but that was bad cause she fell. The entire 3 weeks were literal hell. Bliss knew they screwed up and the had "babysitters" some when we were in port to stay with my Mom cause she could not be left alone for any amount of time. It took a few months for her to get back to sort of being herself.... never fully did. But, that did not stop her from cruising...this upcoming 50 day Tales of the South Pacific will probably be her best, and her last. It is sad when the cruising chapter of our parents lives come to an end. Happily, we can carry those memories in our hearts and photos, even when the mind fades over time. I am glad you made so many wonderful memories with your Dear Dad 🙂

You can carry his walker on, or have it checked at the dock. It is a personal preference. Have FUN on your cruise! 🙂

I used to go on Princess all the time, Elite status. But now I am a HAL gal, had it not been for covid, I am sure I would be a 5 star Mariner by now. So I can share a few things I do know. A regular stateroom door is not wide enough to store a scooter in. You can not store it in the hall either. There are smaller collapsible wheelchairs that was about 50 pounds and are powered on lithium batteries that might be able to get in the room.... But I am in a wheelchair full time, and there are many times that we have had Cruise Critic cabin show and shares and I have just had to peer in from the doorway. Your best bet is to get a handicap accessible room, then there will be no question if you will be able to get in and out, and yes, there is enough room in most (not all cabins) to park 2 scooters for the night as they charge. Have FUN on your cruise!! 🙂
