Lyle and I are travelling again. Lucky us! We are on a ten-day cruise in the south Caribbean.
Of course I am using my white cane nearly all the time. There are unfamiliar places on the ship and on the shore. However, if you have ever been on a cruise you will know that much of the time is spent sitting at a table and eating. When we indulge in this paericular activity I have a little badge which is most helpful.
My badge reads, "I have low vision."
My white cane might be folded and on my lap or on the floor, but my low vision badge is prominently pinned to my shirt. The serving staff nearly always notice this and have been helpful and attentive. Kudos to Holland America line.
