I read a suggestion to carry a filled insulin needle in one of those plastic toothbrush holders when on the go. I'm taking my first cruise in two weeks and plan to do this at ports of call, simpler than having to fill a needle and carry a bottle of insulin with you. Also sharps containers are provided by the ship so one less thing to pack.

I use a rolling walker for any distance walker because of the seat. I told Princess I was concerned with steepness of boarding ramps. She arranged for wheelchair embarking/disembarking plus a sharps container in my room for insulin syringes and even gallons of distilled water for my c-pap machine...all this done by phone weeks before my cruise. They really do want to help. Incidentally, I also prepaid my gratuities ahead of time so I didn't need to be concerned about the charge at the end of my cruise. Hope some of this helps.

You're very welcome. Make sure you and your bff go up to the Skywalker's disco. You can get the two for one drinks there too, between 11:00 pm and midnight.

Are there formal nights for anytime dining on our 7day cruise and if so, how formal? I have only casual ankle length dresses. would I get by with dressing it up with nylons and a silk scarf or do I need something dressier? Again, thanks

Thanks PartyBarbie! I'm writing down all your suggestions:D

I really enjoyed your post. Any ideas on ANYTHING would be greatly appreciated. My bff and I are in a balcony room on Lido deck.

Looking forward to being on April 12 cruise

Leaving April 12 on lido deck for 7 day Pacific Coastal, very excited, my first cruise

My first cruise and taking Pacific Coastal on Star Princess from San Francisco. I use a rolling walker and tired easily. Any and all hints/advice will be appreciated. I'm leaving in April.
