MedicKen Posted March 25, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Why don't you contact the special needs department or your cabin steward once on board and request a sharps container. DW and I do it with no problems. We are both diabetic and take an injectable med as well as lancets for glucose checks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 25, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Definitely contact them in advance.....there's absolutely no need to bring your own sharps container! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gw812 Posted March 25, 2011 #6 Share Posted March 25, 2011 My usual rule of thumb to get to the infirmary fast is to go all the way down and all the way forward. Always worked so far. Never hurts to memorize 2 ways to get to your muster station, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winnie06 Posted March 25, 2011 #8 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I have just had a 'medical form from them, and it asked on there if I needed a sharps container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleMissMom Posted March 25, 2011 #9 Share Posted March 25, 2011 My DH needs a sharps container as well. We have never brought a medical form. We just ask the cabin steward for one and it usually appears in about two minutes. Have never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
