Wheelchairs on a fly cuise?

[Nancy48]

Hi, just got all the paperwork re declaring my disability prior to our Caribbean fly cruise. I note that they say we must check in the wheelchair with our luggage. I assume, therefore, that we will then be provided with an airport wheelchair?

 

Can anyone tell me what happens at the Barbados end of the flight? Presumably if the wheelchair is checked in with the luggage we won't see it again until our bags arrive in our cabin. In which case I am slightly worried about how I will manage before then. Anyone who has experienced this situation? I would be most grateful if you could talk me through exactly how they manage it.

 

Many thanks and regards

Nancy

Your wheelchair will be given to you at Barbados airport, after you get off the plane. We were last off. They took us off on an air elevator. Then I we were given back our equipment, mine was a mobility scooter. Then we went in taxi's to the ship. I took my scooter to the gate to get on the plane. Everyone else took their wheelchairs to the gate. They then loaded them on the plane before take off.

Thanks for that Bronte, what you are describing is what happened when we flew to Venice in June, with Celebrity. It was when I read the P & O information sheet which said my wheelchair had to go with the bags at check in that I worried.

 

Good to know th system is the same.
