53wonder Posted February 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2018 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellaggio Cruisers Posted February 28, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 28, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53wonder Posted February 28, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted February 28, 2018 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare wishIweretravelling Posted February 28, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 28, 2018 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.

Rare crusin7 Posted February 28, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 28, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53wonder Posted March 1, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Crisy 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
