Disney Cruise with broken (sea) leg

[WanderLit]

So my adventurous adult daughter broke her leg last week (she fell while boldering) and we are now only 24 days away from our mother-daughter-grandaughter cruise. Darling Granddaughter (5) and I (47) are fine. Darling daughter is in a boot and on crutches. There is a possibility she might get clearance to use a cane before we leave but we can't count on it.

This does change her plans of running the Castaway Cay 5k but we're still going to have a wonderful time. I was wondering if anyone here has any advice for navigating a Disney Cruise with a broken leg. Anyone got any tips or suggestions?

Thanks in Advance

One thing to look into are those "rolling canes". It is like a scooter and put your knee of the booted leg on it and just scoot around with the other leg. It would be a million times easier than crutches and a lot easier than a cane.

Thanks BigredNole That's a great idea!

I went shopping online for a rolling cane and discovered something she will like even better!

I broke my leg and ankle about two weeks before my cruise and was unable to put any weight on it. I used the knee scooter on the cruise which worked out really well. I would recommend trying to switch to an HA room. The bathroom of the HA is a lot easier to get around in with the scooter. I also have the IWalk (pictured above) but it was more of a pain because I had to take it off and on all the time (sitting down briefly, going to the bathroom, etc) so I didn't use it much. You can really get around quickly on the knee scooter. I also added a bike basket to the front to carry things.

Just got off a cruise and one of our table mates used this. He was gliding all over the place.

There are at least three people onboard the magic right now with crutches! For 2 weeks!
