I get swollen ankles too - every cruise, no matter what the temperature.

 

then there is the water - one man told us that the water in their cabin tasted salty when he brushed his teeth - I plan to drink only bottled water - if it has a low salt content.

 

People take their own wine to the dining room - what about taking your own water?

If I recall correctly from a thread years ago I learned that there is indeed a sodium product added in the processing of the water used onboard. I am super careful about salt in food, but would have swollen ankles every cruise until I started bringing my own bottled water....problem resolved. I just tag a case of Poland Spring with our cabin number and it goes along with our luggage. Give it a shot!

I had a critical button fly off a never-before worn sweater as I dressed for dinner. DH ran to the concierge desk where they gave him a little sewing kit! I keep it in my purse now.

5 critical things to pack, besides the obvious.

Spirit of adventure, sense of humor, flexibility, good supportive sneakers and a friendly smile for everyone.

Talk about lost...Last year on NCL to Bermuda my DH left me near the stairs while he skipped down one flight to get the camera from our room before we headed to Karaoke. The elevator doors opened and out came a vary tall elderly gentleman dressed only in not-so-tighty whiteys and a tank undershirt. He looked left, then right, then slowly wandered down the hall towards the rooms. He didn't appear to notice me, or maybe was avoiding eye contact. Why is it you never have the camera when you need it?
