Does this sound right? Do they really not track disabled passengers if they are not in a modified cabin?

We took our daughter, (Spina Bifida) a wheelchair user on a carnival cruise, at first we had booked a modified cabin, to be shared by our three teens, but decided she really didnt need it, and they didnt want to be at the front of the ship, so we changed to an inside regular cabin.

They did not reguire any paperwork from us do to the change.

HOWEVER! and this may ONLY be my case... once we boarded, the steward that was serving their cabin saw she was in a chair, and sat with her for a few mins and asked her what she could and could not do on her own. He made sure she was taken care of during the drill, and the one that shocked us the most (in a good way) the three teens were in their cabin each night, but her being the youngest, would often crash in our cabin, down the hall but in a different stewards care. Each night, if our daughter was not in her cabin, the steward would come down to our's knock on the door and check to see if she was staying with us for the night. After about the third time, we asked him why, and he said he wanted to know where she was in case there was an emergency and he had to get her to her lifeboat safety.

We were impressed, he was well tipped.

Nicole,

I am very much enjoing the blog, I will be cruising the Miracle in Sept. My first cruise. You have given me a lot of good ideas and suggestions. I look forward to my morning coffee and blog reading :)

Do you happen to have copies of the capers? My group has been looking for them for awhile now and no one seems to have a good copy.
