Labadee - Handicap access?

[OnceAMarineAlwaysAMarine]

My sister is joining us on our Empress cruise in October. She has multiple sclerosis and is in a wheelchair (although she is able to walk short distances and get on/off the tender).

 

I love Labadee and our favorite area is Hideaway Beach. My question is: Do they have any faclity (like a golf cart or small vehicle) that they will use to transport handicapped folks across the sand to Hideaway Beach?

I'm not 100% sure about getting all the way to Hideaway, but there were several people being pushed around in a suped up wheelchairs (really big tires) to make for easier movement on the sand.

Labadee has the beach wheel chairs and also the tractor drawn tram that circles the resort.

My friend's husband is in a wheelchair and just did a Western on Carnival. I referred her to Cruise critic's "Special Interest" section and she found a great deal of info there. Maybe it has something there about Labadee, but I don't recall. I remember reading cozumel's Chakanaab was wheelchair friendly. Have a great cruise and good job for her for going!
