Cruising After 70: Wheelchair-Accessible Ships & Ports You’ll Love in 2025

Part 3: Packing Hacks from Experienced Cruisers

(From a Facebook poll of 200+ senior travelers!)

Mobility Essentials:

Foldable Wheelchair Cushion (like Roho Agility) for 8-hour shore days.

Waterproof Wheelchair Cover – sudden rain won’t ruin your glacier visit.

Tech Savvy:

Cabin Door Alert (a $20 Magnetic Alarm) – know when your attendant arrives.

Portable Ramp (the EZ-Access Suitcase Ramp folds into luggage).

Health First:

Medication Cooler Bag (try VAQSO Medical) – keeps insulin stable in tropical heat.

Compression Sleeves for tender rides – Physix Gear Sport is cruise-approved.

"I’ve tested every tip here – from the Medicare-covered scooters on Princess Cruises to hearing loop systems on Viking. My last cruise? Zero stress, 100% joy. See you on deck in 2025!"
