What brand of scooter do you have? How much trouble did you have with transporting it on your flights? How long were you without it when boarding and deboarding? I'm considering buying one and would like to know which not to buy!
This is the model I had.

We drove to Detroit to see it and for me to try it out. It folds itself via a remote, weighs about 55 pounds, comes with two rechargeable batteries that can be removed for taking the scooter on airplanes. The scooter wasn't the problem as much as it was what is supposed to be handicapped ramps for getting onto and off of sidewalks (and the gangplanks of cruise ships).
Thanks, it looks very fragile. I'm probably going to get this one: https://scootaroundstore.com/en/pride-jazzy-zero-turn
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Our neighbors are on the Royal Carribean world cruise. Left in Dec, get back Sept. It was diverted around Cape of Good Hope, to avert Red Sea stuff. They eventually end up in Med, but don't think any river cruises. Jeff gets updates from their kids.
I can't imagine being on a cruise for almost a year.
Yours, except for mishaps, sounds doable.
IMO 30 days at sea was about 7 too long, but elwing really wanted to do it. Of course we didn't purchase the internet package, and that might have made a difference.
