GUT2407 Posted November 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2017 well they came up with an accessible cabin for our possible Hawaii cruise April 2019. Doctor said, book it and we’ll make the call before cancellation date, as long as I can take a wheelchair and walker (fat man broken back falling down machine as I prefer to call it). 18 months away so who knows if it’ll happen or not, but excited.

GUT2407 Posted November 17, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Go book it Mr Gut, we will keep our fingers crossed for you to make the trip.:halo: Already booked it Les. I booked an ordinary cabin yanks ago, before things went pear shape, tried to change to an accessible but they wouldn’t let me, now they’ve said I can have it, original booking hadnt been cancelled (in spite of my telling them to) so just a transfer of cabin. Also managed to switch to ATD which we like on longer cruises, but not on shorter ones. Doctor has already said no wheelchair, no go. But that’s OK if we have an accessible cabin. A few ports are a problem with a wheelchair, but the walker should be fine. So we are hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portcbob Posted November 17, 2017 #13 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Hi mr gut. We are seriously considering the same cruise. I see there is 2 options. Solstice 21 day package Sydney to Honolulu via Tahiti or similar trip on the radiance of the seas. But we are super keen also and could book soon as they apparently sell out fast. Cheers bob.

I worked out our budget for drinks on our Hawaii cruise and that was bad enough. :eek: I haven't even thought of other costs and excursions yet. Ah well, at least I don't have to worry about airfares and hotels on that cruise and luckily I rarely get tempted by the shops onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but the three I listed are one after another, is yours straight after the world cruise?? I guess it could be. I wonder what impact that will have on service. Positive or negative. So few turnovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted November 18, 2017 #25 Share Posted November 18, 2017 BTW at one of the port stops in NZ earlier this year I saw a guy in this really cool wheelchair. It's based on Segway technology and looked very compact. It seemed to be very manoeuverable. Might be worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
