wheel chair service

[53wonder]

We are taking a trip to the Baltics and have encountered a bit of a glitch - we need a wheel chair and the company our TA recommends does not service Regent. The company Regent works with has a terrible reputation ( special needs @ sea)

 

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated please!!!

Rent from home or buy used one.

I have an electric scooter. No problems with it. Use it on every cruise and on every excursion. Do you own a wheelchair? Does it fold? If so, you can take it with you.

Sheila,

Thank you for your reply. Our issue that my father is not wheelchair dependent, but may require a bit of assistance in certain ports. We wanted to rent from site and not drag a chair with us. Given the demographics of Regent I am truly surprised we are encountering such an issue!

Have you checked directly with Regent? It's been quite a few years, but when my mother was alive she had the same situation, and the ship provided her a wheelchair when she needed it.

We just got off the Navigator in January. My husband needed to use a wheelchair unexpectedly during the cruise. Regents will not allow you to take the wheelchair off the ship because of liability.

Thank you that is really good to know. We have talked to Regent and the name they gave us has terrible reviews. Fortunately we do have time so I have faith something will come up!

This is a great forum for disabled guests...lots of information. Just because one is disabled does not prevent them from enjoying a cruise or excursions.
