livingston Posted February 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Need some help please Due to go on 26th Feb Seven Shores & Paradise Islands. There are 4 of us going but my friend slipped on ice on Monday & has broken her leg. We think that she will be OK to fly but will probably need wheelchair as wont be able to walk very far with a 'moonboot' on We are due to call at St Georges Granada, Roseau Dominica, Fort de France Martinique, Pointe a Pitre Guadeloupe, Kingston St Vincent, Castries St Lucia, Bridgetown Barbados, Bequia St Vincent,St Johns Antigua, Phillipsburg St Maarten, Baseterre St Kitts& Toad Town BVI. Would love some help from all you seasoned Caribbean cruisers From the islands we are due to visit are there any that you would particularly recommend or recommend against where 1) able to push wheelchair ( she loves shops) 2) Island tour with not a lot of on & off bus (taxi) 3) Nice beach reasonably accessible with chair Your help will be greatly appreciated as this will be her first trip to the Caribbean and want to make it as good as possible for her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longislandtea Posted February 2, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 2, 2017 The Dream has very small lifts and it looks difficult to get around in a wheel chair. I think you will be ok on any of the other ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitalsign Posted February 2, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) I believe you are on Discovery and I also believe this ship is much better than Dream or Celebration for wheelchair users having been a Royal Caribbean ship previously So maybe someone who has been on her could help you You won't have a problem in St Johns, Castries, Grenada or Philipsburg for shops or going anywhere else really. Dominica - the streets are steep going away from the port and they are in bad condition and the pavements. You may also be on tender if another ship is in port. Can't remember the other ports and haven't been to the French islands sorry Edited February 2, 2017 by Vitalsign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizzy-Jo Posted February 2, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Just a thought, have you booked airport assistance for your friend? Assuming you are flying with Thomson, give their welfare team a ring. They are brilliant and it's a free service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
