We had an issue with low tide and the ship could not dock in time. We were so stressed out by the time we made it to LGB.

Enchanted, Emerald, and Diamond don't have anything past April 2024.

 

We're tossing about the idea of either a Greenland or Hawaii cruise, but we need dates and prices!

We are looking for Hawaii also. Will be our 40th Anniversary. Good luck. 

Must be Europe. I can’t get anything past April 2024. Thanks though

Anyone know when the rest of 2024 will be open?  Thanks

I am concerned about getting an accessible cabin since Spirt has less then half the cabins of Freedom   There is no way to accommodate all of us. I book early because in order to get a cabin that works for me I have too.  

I use a manual wheelchair and it was very easy and the staff was very helpful.  

Can anyone tell me that has been to Maui, is it a tender port or a dock. Thank you. 

Has anyone here been able to tender using a non electric wheelchair. I am use to RCCL, where I've always been able to tender but heard that Princess is not so accommodating I am booked but thinking about canceling. I don't want to be stuck on the ship when I would really like to get off. Thanks.

St Maarten the water taxi is wheel chair accessible. We did this last February and it was fun. We walked around a little and it's right on the beach. Enjoy!

I have always been able to tender with RCCL.

I was there in February and did not have any problem getting in or off. They couldn't have been nicer. I really enjoyed being able to use the water taxi.

Hello, I'm an avid Princess cruiser who uses a manual wheelchair full-time. I am wanting to give RCCL a try, specifically Oasis or Freedom Class ships. Can anyone who has been on both lines let me know your thoughts on accessibility? Princess has always been great to me and ensures my accessibility needs are meet to include a spacious stateroom and assistance on/off the ship at ports without hesitation.

 

 

 

Thanks!

I have always found RCCL very accessible. I have tendered in almost every port with out any problems. I have only been on a Freedom class of the two you are comparing. Cabin was very spacious Staff has always treated me very well. I use a manual wheelchair.

Loved the accessibility of Radiance class ships. Smooth getting into balcony. Plenty of room.

I was not on Allure but I had a lounger on my balcony

Hi. I'll be cruising with my mom soon and I would like to know what your tour consisted of. Thanks.

Lewis asked us what we wanted to do. We went thru the city and toward the rainforest. You could email him. He was very nice and I highly recommend his tour.

Rear entry lift. Roll on and it lifts up. Can't say how old the van was but seemed in really good condition. We just got lucky finding this tour and wanted to share. It was a very pleasant drive. I loved getting to see the rainforest.

RCCL had an accessible excursion at one point in Bonaire.

We just got back from the Southern Carribean and found an accessible tour with a private driver. Didn't know they had any. The vehicle can tie down one wheelchair or scooter. There is room for 5 others. We had a very nice 1 1/2. Charged us $25 pp.

I would highly recommend him.

I liked it. We saved more money that way then with an other offer.

Re Paul Rutter...We did a Halloween cruise on Enchantment in 2012, Paul Rutter was CD. We really liked him, very personable. He was not one to hide away, but was very visible around the ship. He is tall and thin - looked great in his white polyester suit on 70's/Disco night.

We cruised with him in February 2014. We really enjoyed him. Still has the same 70's outfit.

I hope you find a way. I've always wanted to go but till now have not been able to. It's been a whe since I last checked. Good luck.

I would check again when final payment is due. A lot of cabins get released around then.

All I know is that's what Princess said yesterday.

I was just informed by a friend whose husband uses a walker and does not do steps very well that on Princess you cannot get a handicapped cabin if you do not use a wheelchair. Not sure how long this rule has been out.

Donna, has Gordon Whatman retired from RCCL? He was the cruise director on our first cruise (Nordic Empress) and saw him last time on the Radiance. I will never forget the "If I were not upon the seas" skit that was tradition at the farewell shows. I sure do miss that routine - I never laughed so hard - the experience was priceless. Maybe they will bring it back someday...........I sure hope so.

Gordon was the best. I will always remember my husband taking my picture and Gordon jumping into the photo just as it was taken. We were fast friends the rest of the cruise. Always hoped we would cruise together but it never happened.
