WELDON

Hello Lois, I have followed your trip through this board. However, I saw this on the SS board. So sorry to hear this after all your planning and anticipation. At least there are people onboard to help you. I also travel solo and this is my biggest fear that I will be injured or get sick. Agree with others on SS board and get wheelchair assistance on return flights. You have a good attitude and you're getting out and dining with others. You just have to make the best of an unfortunate situation. I'll be watching for updates. Take care.

I was on Allure last month and booked a hair appointment after boarding. As mentioned, there will be additional time slots close to your sail date.

Yes, you can book on board. Go to the salon after you board the ship to get the best choice of times.

They are not as powerful as the ones most people have at home. I use the one provided so I don't have to take one with me. It may take a little longer to dry hair but it gets the job done. Also you need to hold down the on button while in use.

The more you shave, the darker the hair grows in. There are options you can try, cream bleach for the face, go to a salon and have the mustache waxed, or there are tools for the face that remove hair. Is there an Ulta in your area? I've also seen this type of tool on QVC.
