Zqueeze1, now you can sit at the pool bar with Nancy drinking those non alcoholic umbrella drinks🤯. Stay well and hello to the bride. Scooterman!

Z, where the heck have you been all day? You were AWOL this morning at the pool bar.

Hi Ladyj1138,

my wife and I are booked on a 29 night cruise to Alaska down to  the Panama Canal, ending in Ft. Lauderdale. I’m on a scooter but we are booked in a suite, space is not an issue for us. The cruise line has requirements mostly for width, 22”, and length. I have a buzzaround EX because I'm a big guy, 300lbs. I chose this scooter because it comes apart in 5 pieces. I figured I could spread the pieces around if needed for space. I also had to think of weight because my wife has to move the sections around. The heaviest piece is only 50 pounds. They lighter versions too. I attached a brochure for my scooter FYI.

The cruise line can also put you in contact with a company that rents scooters.

I accept that tender ports I’ll be staying on board. I think there are only two of them out of 29 day cruise. 

We are sailing on Cunard, Queen Elizabeth. Sorry for not mentioning. Thank you for the information.

Hi everybody! I’m a 100% disabled veteran who has been on oxygen 24/7 since 2019. There was a time when I was active and travelled extensively. By air, sea and land. Since the introduction of O2 I have pretty much been a vegetable. So I got a bug up my butt, sorry, and told the Bride we are going on a cruise to Alaska, Panama Canal disembarking in Ft. Lauderdale.
So I bought a mobility scooter. I figured they can’t shoot me, right? American Airlines was great. Ride the scooter to the gate and they gate check it. Then upon arrival they give me my scooter back at the gate. That’s what they say anyway. Had to have the portable O2 concentrator cleared and reassure the airline I had sufficient battery backup. 
The cruise is where my questions lie. Embarkation shouldn’t be a problem because they board with a sky bridge thing like the airlines. Now, what happens at port of calls. If it is a gangway will I be able to get off the ship? If it too steep, will they help. 
any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. 
By the way, I can walk, just not very far.
