Blogger, Baby Boomer Lola, weighed in on this: “When the riddles run dry, and they will, unless you want repeats, ask your grandchildren to tell you stories about school, or of activities and projects they’re involved in, or of books they’ve read. Recently, my grandson showed me a comic book he and three friends created. Marvellous imagination and creativity. When my grandson read me the conversation text on every panel, I thought, this boy reading to his grandma felt wonderful. While often what happens is grandparents reading to their grandchildren – it gives the youths a boost of confidence and sense of accomplishment when you ask them to read to you. And if the young ones haven't yet mastered the skill of reading, that just might motivate them to learn more how to read, so they can read to Grandma and Grandpa.” Historical visits are great for learning experiences for both of you With the chilly weather, we need to do everything possible to stay warm.

Judith, a 75-year-old fashion blogger known online as Style Crone champions individuality and life. Her recommendation: “The one item that I could not live without in winter is a hat or any stylish form of headwear. Heat escapes from the head, so headwear serves the function of providing warmth. More importantly, it provides a way to express myself through style, can change the mood of any outfit, and adds an element of flair to the day. I love the felts and fabrics that take me through the colder months. They are conversation starters and get you a better seat at a restaurant. I seldom walk out the door without a hat, and the colder months are no exception!” Thin layers are great for building warmth Powered: With 5V charging, this blanket can be powered by a power bank or any other compatible power supply.Soft, fluffy micro-fleece fibres with fasteners to use as a cape or heated throw to keep out draughts If you have difficulties walking long distances but typically don't use a wheelchair, you still might consider renting a chair or scooter, and do your research on the best cabin location – because you’re able to book your exact cabin, be sure to select one at a prime location for any mobility issues.

Adam Coulter’s and Cruise Critic’s final piece of advice concerns those who require special assistance aboard a cruise: “Cruise ships provide a variety of assistance, services and accommodations for passengers with special requirements, but offerings vary from one cruise line to another and even from one ship to another in the same fleet.
