Skro's Nest description on YouTube:

I’m Randy Skroback from Tucson, Arizona. My wife & I have been cruising since 2007. Due to difficulty walking long distances, I now use a mobility scooter—especially on cruise ships. Before a 2021 cruise, I searched YouTube for videos about cruising with a scooter or wheelchair, but found very little useful content. That inspired me to create “SKRO’S NEST” where I share real-world tips, honest reviews, and practical advice for cruising with a mobility scooter. Whether you cruise on Wheels or on Feet, you’ll find helpful insights to make your trip smoother and more enjoyable. I show both the good and the not-so-good to help others be better prepared. If you find my videos helpful, please SUBSCRIBE—it really helps support the channel. If you’d like to go a step further, I’d be incredibly grateful if you became a A PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/c/skrosnest/membership or Channel MEMBER! Every bit helps me keep creating content that makes cruising more accessible for everyone!

The Watch-outs

the ventilation in the casino is horrendous the smell of smoke is strong in the non-smoking area

🥉KnowledgeableSkro's Nest

A major problem when when you're on the Carnival Spirit, if you're in a wheelchair or mobility scooter, is trying to get upstairs to the uh slides because there's no elevator to get you up to deck 11.

🥉KnowledgeableSkro's Nest

the legend just recently came came out of dry dock and it is disappointing that Carnival didn't do something to rectify the poor ventilation in the casino

🥉KnowledgeableSkro's Nest

So, if you're not mobile enough to get up these steps, then uh you're out of luck.

🥉KnowledgeableSkro's Nest

the controls for the tub and the shower are down on this end so you have to climb into the tub in order to turn everything on
