My wife was diagnosed with early stage FTD Dementia in 2009. We cruised together for over 500 days on Oceania through her advancing stages until the end of 2016 (she passed away from the disease in early 2017). While it can be complicated the Oceania staff was incredibly helpful and understanding; and most passengers were the same with just a few exceptions. It is also very helpful if you have any close friends who are able to cruise with you to “give you a break” now and then with the care giving.
We were able to participate in tours, trivia, spa treatments, afternoon tea, evening shows until our last cruise in 2016 when mobility problems made that more difficult. The memories were worth all the difficulties.
