I have a question about boarding process -- how do i go about getting wheelchair assistance getting on and off the ship? I have been having some problems with walking for anything other than short distances and standing in the check in/out line without having to sit down and let me back/hip rest a min. I will be fine on the ship as there are many places to rest when needed so I do not think a scooter is needed nor a wheelchair. Just need it to get up and down the ramp. I am so embarrassed just having to ask as i'm fairly young still and do not want to be looked at like i'm just lazy and fat and trying to not walk myself. Do i need to call and arrange it prior to boarding or just ask once i get to the terminal. thanks in advance for the help.
