  1. I beg your pardon? I'll have you know, I was cruising practically nonstop in 2021, including a B2B2B on Harmony. I had to, I had so many Covid credits built up on MSC, Royal and Carnival. 😇 Then, in 2022, I found out being on Disability doesn't pay nearly as much as being a drug dealer (legal). ðŸĪ‘ But, I'm slowly staging a comeback, maybe I'll do a review on Indy for Halloween. 😉
  2. Well, well, well. I see Royal will accept anyone as passengers (sniff, sniff). ðŸĪŠ Remember pre Covid, when they had standards? Have a great cruise, you guys. Of course, Owen is the hottest guy, look at his parents!
  3. Quick question, I own a Travel Pro scooter with a sealed lead acid battery. The only time I flew with it, American asked me if it was a wet cell or a dry cell. I said it was sealed lead acid and then we stared at each other awkwardly for a few minutes. 😂 They said since I didn't know, I had to carry the 20 pound battery onto the plane. It was awkward with that in one hand and my cane and carryon in the other. I'm flying again soon. Does anybody know? Thanks in advance.
  4. Agree. I've cruised both Royal Caribbean and Carnival since Covid and muster is whenever you want to do it, before sailing. Just be careful going over the hump between the ship and the deck, you'll probably get stuck and have to walk the scooter over. Same for disembarking, you'll bottom out on the ramp.
  5. Thanks! I stumbled upon that website earlier. I'm going to attach a laminated note somehow. He says on there that 3% of chairs/scooters get damaged on the plane.
  6. I hope it's okay, I glommed onto this topic instead of starting my own. I'm flying with my scooter for the first time, American Airlines from Virginia to North Carolina to Boston. I've filled out all the necessary paperwork. I understand I have to gate check the scooter, but do the luggage handlers know how to switch it from Drive to Neutral? I'm terrified they'll destroy it by forcing it to roll in Drive. I realize I can show the handler in VA, but not upon arrival in NC and MA. I've thought about making a laminated sheet or something and taping it to the back of the seat. Help!
  7. Even when the joke is Abraham Lincoln talking about the internet? 😂
  8. Exactly! We have to do the $10 cancellation protection, because Covid tests ae done 2 or 3 days before cruising, but, the regular insurance? Nah!
  9. I am confused because you started another thread stating that you WOULD require assistance for your Dad? " Dear Dad is going to have the terminal staff wheel him through security and check in and then ship staff will take over, that's the only time he'll need a chair, for the rest of the trip he can use a walker, I can carry it on myself, but wondering if it can be checked?". Not for nothing and a little unsolicited advice, I have started using a mobility scooter on my cruises and it is the best money I have ever spent. Obviously, I don't know your Dad's limitations, but remember, the ships are three football fields long. Is he really capable of walking that distance with his walker multiple times a day, waiting in lines for elevators, buffets, etc? I've rented twice and am looking to buy now. I used Scootaround and they were fantastic. I originally booked for one week, using the USCRUISE discount code, my rental was $225 for the week. I added a second week before I cruised and that only added $25 to my price! While on the ship, I added a third week and Scootaround only charged me an additional $14. Needless to say, I was thrilled. Anyway, good luck to you and your Dad.
  10. I would assume under those circumstances, you would be allowed to quarantine with him. Perhaps you can search Royal's forum for people whose minor child tested positive and what happened. I'd make sure to file forms with them stating that he requires a caregiver in advance.
  11. I recently got off Carnival Legend in a accessible extended balcony. They had a ramp out to the balcony, it was very steep. I didn't try to take my scooter out there, but, I walked out there a few times and it was very difficult. I actually dropped the door on my bare foot, ouch. I do not know if that is a standard feature or not. What line/ship are you on?
  12. Just read the fine print about the insurance. If the scooter is stolen, you still have a $500 deductible. It didn't seem worth it to me.
  13. If you don't require anything from the cruise line, you don't have to fill out any forms. You are allowed to bring a wheelchair with you.
