Two people with rollator, is it manageable?

I used a rollator for a number of years because of a back injury, and I like to sit down when standing in lines. My wife normally manages our luggage when traveling. She hurt her knee and is using a rollator herself now. We are cruising on the NCL Pearl at the end of the month. Has anyone managed two people with disabilities?

I haven't traveled with another disabled person or cruised by myself, but from traveling solo I would guess it's very doable.  Get a bag that hangs from your rollator to keep in anything that can't be checked/left with the porters (prescription medications, etc).  If you are flying, I suggest requesting wheelchairs through the airports.  The wheelchair assistants will help you manage any carryon luggage as well.  You can also request wheelchair assistance when boarding the ship. Plan to leave everything you don't absolutely need with the porters.  If your wife also typically does things that require walking a longer distance while you wait, then consider renting scooters for your cruise.  The Pearl is not so large that I would think you would need one for sure, but they can make getting around on the ship easier.
