Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Here are the Elite Plus benefits (from February on the Apex) FYI.
  2. You might want to hop on over to the Disabled Travel forum and post your question. Also do a search on that forum for the ports you will be visiting. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/114-disabled-cruise-travel/
  3. Don't forget you need to report to Carnival's Access Department that you are on dialysis and will be bringing supplies. Have you seen their page about this? https://www.carnival.com/about-carnival/special-needs You might find this interesting. It's a few years old but has timely tips. https://homedialysis.org/news-and-research/blog/196-cruising-with-home-dialysis-tips-from-a-platinum-cruiser Never, not ever, let your life saving equipment out of your sight.
  4. Start here. You need to let Celebrity know about your needs. This link is for accessible excursions. https://www.celebritycruises.com/special-needs/accessible-shore-excursions
  5. You might post this inquiry also on the Princess board. ie, "anyone currently on, or soon to be on, the Sun Princess in an accessible stateroom who can let me know about whether there are automatic doors?" Let them know what kind of stateroom you will be in because sometimes the fancier ones have amenities the others don't have.
  6. Accessible staterooms get booked very early. Glad you were able to get one. For your next cruise 😎 book your accessible stateroom early to be sure you get one. 😉
  7. You might post this on the Celebrity forum and ask if there is anyone currently, or soon to be, on the Beyond who could take photos or confirm access to the pool.
  8. Have you done a search for a Hoyer left on this forum? There are several discussions about it. Do you have an accessible stateroom? You will most certainly need one. And check with Royal's Access Department. They will need to know about the Hoyer and wheelchair. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/experience/accessible-cruising Cory Lee has a discussion on his website with Royal's Director of Disabilities and he mentions a Hoyer lift. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/experience/accessible-cruising
  9. Hop over to the Disabled Cruise Travel board. Post your question there or do a search on that board for oxygen and concentrator. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/114-disabled-cruise-travel/ You will also need to complete a special needs form for Princess. Contact their Access Desk for this.
  10. One of the advantages of having the pusher from the airline is that they know exactly how to get from Point A to Point B, know all the short-cuts and how to navigate security and lines efficiently.
  11. Definitely post your query on the Disabled Cruise Travel board as mentioned by @GeezerCouple
  12. Look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL_3Hb9ghjA
  13. Depends on location, supply and demand. Contact SpecialNeedsatSea.com and Scootaround.com for pricing. Make sure you are comparing apples to apples. Sometimes they will price it with insurance so you want to be sure your quotes are for the same thing. Both companies pretty much offer the same scooters for rent. PS. We have never opted for the insurance.....
  14. If you buy or rent a scooter, you probably need an accessible stateroom so you can get it through the door. Accessible staterooms go very fast so if this is what you intend on getting, book one as soon as possible. Check out the Disabled Cruise Travel board. You will get a lot of information there. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/114-disabled-cruise-travel/ And Royal's information here: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/experience/accessible-cruising/mobility-disabilities
  15. Are you trying to complete the special needs form for Royal Caribbean? Here's their form but I don't see where it says anything about country of residence. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/resources/guest-special-needs
