I can’t comment on if it’s required, but I used Bahamas pet permit (https://www.bahamaspetpermit.com) and got my permit in 4 days. Sorry you’re in this situation.

I didn’t read it like that either, but it was still good info. I don’t mind advocating to fix SD access issues, but my husband gets stressed easily so it’s probably best for us to cruise on more accommodating ships that we’ll need to do less bargaining with. Thanks again for sharing!

Thanks for the Your response and the other replies made me realize that I don’t think we’re ready for a case by case scenario. I am a planner and my husband was most stressed about the potty accommodations when booking our upcoming HAL cruise. I think I’ll stick with the cruise lines that can give me definitive answers for now. Maybe after we get a few more cruises with the SD in we’ll be open to a cruise that is less set in stone in their SD procedures. For now, I’m subscribed to this thread and I’ll be checking out everyone’s posts. If everyone wants to continue posting potty spot experiences that would be great! Here is the potty spot from the Disney Wish.

Have a great time! And looking forward to the feedback!

Hi there. Great info here. I’m not sure how to search, so sorry if my questions have been answered somewhere in the past. A little background: My husband’s SD has cruised with us 1x on Disney wish (wish has a dedicated fake grass potty spot called Pluto's corner BTW). We had such a great time we decided to book an Alaska cruise with HAL which isn’t until 2025. Guest services at HAL was able to give me detailed info about the potty spot (4x4 box placed forward promenade deck) so we felt comfortable. Really the potty spot onboard is the only thing I’m worried about with cruising with the SO’s SD. Since our next cruise is not until 2025, I started looking at 2024 cruises and found a deal out of LA on Carnival. Before booking I called disability services and asked about potty spot locations. The agent was only able to say it could not be placed on a cabin balcony, and it would be placed in an out of the way location. I asked what deck, and was it an open air location or an inside location (SD hasn’t ever used an inside potty location like crew passage) and she said it is up to someone on the ship. Having said all that, Without those specifics I feel nervous booking a carnival cruise with the SD. Can anyone share how their experience with their service dog has gone on Carnival? Particularly what the potty spot accommodations were? Also, is this the best place to just ask for this info, or is there any reviews/summaries of people’s experiences with how different cruise lines accommodate service dogs? Thanks for any feedback!
