I wouldn't worry too much about running into people. Depending on the size of the ship, most of the main decks are pretty spacious. The corridors where the cabins are are narrower, but in some ways, that's easier because there is only room for one person to get by at a time. We put something on our cabin door to make it easier to locate, like a hanging which we put up with magnets.

Most big ships don't rock that much, so I didn't find it a problem after a day.

I did take time to find out where stuff was, and people are good about helping out, IMHO. If possible, book early and get an accessible cabin that makes things eaiser or try and book near an elevator if the noise won't bother you too much. I agree the staff is accomodating, especially if you let them know your situation.

We didn't often use the buffet, but when I went by myself one time, I asked for help, and the staff person helped me with my tray and getting my food.

One thing that we always do is take an interest in the staff. We ask names, say good morning, good night, please, and thank you. You'd be surprised how many don't do this. Also, be clear and polite about what you need and why. "Hello, I can't read the labels on the ice cream because I don't see very well. Can you tell me what flavors you have?"

Cruises make some people anxious, but I go with minimal, "I HAVE TO DO THIS" energy and just go with the flow. I'll never forget a woman losing her mind over not stopping at a port because of bad weather because she couldn't get the rum cake she wanted. Really.

Hope this is helpful!

I don’t think I’ve ever had a parent yell at me they are normally mortified their kids ran into a blind person.

For us, the answer would be yes. You unpack once. We have been to Bermuda several times and, on our last cruise, we treated it like a "cruise to nowhere" and just hung out and enjoyed ourselves. I don't know how things will be after Corona, but I hope they will be good.

He’s kind of been everywhere. His favorites were Alaska and the East Coast in the fall. However he goes a lot of places in the Caribbean just for the cruise and less for the destination.
