Thank you for the insight! Will definitely keep this in mind when I discuss it with the family

Hello! New to this blog (hope I posted this in the right section), but thought I would probably get a helpful answer from you guys. I am going on a RC cruise this month (Rhapsody of the Seas) and I am currently deciding on an excursion for my family and I do to that will be enjoyable. One of the excursions that caught my eye was River Tubing in Dominica. I have never been tubing but I love anything to do with water so I'm sure I'll enjoy it. My mother also doesn't mind as we are both active individuals. However, my dad is a bit older (70+ years old), he also has a bit of a limp when walking and is not really keen on waking super far (he's good for about maybe 30-40 minutes but often needs access to a washroom as well). I don't know much about tubing but from what I have heard it seems that you sit in a river tube and float down a river. He likes water as well and I think he wouldn't mind this and it sounds relaxing (as long as we don't have to hike for 2+ hours to get to the river lol). But I have also heard that some rivers as more fast-flowing and rapid which worries me that this may not be suitable for him. I was wondering if I could get some insight on this activity. Has anyone done this before? Is the river a fast or slow one? Is there a lot of walking in this excursion? How about washrooms? (I guess if there isn't really access to washrooms we could probably not drink too much before heading out, that would work haha). Are there opportunities to rest/relax for a bit. Thank you!
