I use a power wheelchair and a ventilator non-invasively. I just returned from a cruise to Nassau leaving out of Bayonne, NJ on the RCI Anthem of the Seas. We had a wonderful time. I would and did bring two ventilators and an ambu bag. I brought double of everything, just in case ie tubing etc. I had the LTV on the back of my wheelchair and the PLV100 that I use at night went in as luggage and labeled medical equipment. I had a battery backup for the PLV and a charger for my chair and a charger for the battery pack for the LTV. It all went very smoothly and we had wonderful time. I would check out the altitude where you will be traveling. I'm not all that familiar with that area and not sure if there is a higher altitude than she is used to If so, she may have to adjust the pressures on her vents. If you have any questions that I can answer, I would be happy to answer them. Good luck. This is very doable with planning.
