Romy40 Posted October 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Special Needs At Sea and Scootaround want name, address, phone, e-mail address, and ship information with date of sail BEFORE they will quote a price. I'm not really wanting to give them all that information. Will someone tell me what they charge for a one week cruise? Any ball park figures would be appreciated. Thank you.

Depending on the size of the scooter, it is $235 to $425 for 1 week. Are you over 300 pounds? This one is $235 if you weigh under 300lbs.

jlp20 Posted October 19, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 19, 2018 If asking about a scooter, you already have "accessible" cabin booked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodgem Posted October 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 20, 2018 You not need to have an accessible cabin to rent a scooter. As long as the scooter is parked overnight in the cabin or in a communal space and not left in passage way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought mine in the UK for £450.00. It has paid for itself many times over. I always have a standard balcony cabin and it fit through the door fine. It has accompanied me on many cruises, flights, coaches and trains without problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just renting 1 or 2 times and you can buy your own to keep and use for other things other than cruising, and it has always fit through every cabin door with no problem!

For cruising, 19" is the maximum width for anything to pass through the cabin door opening. When renting, This factor MUST be given to rental company. Most lines REQUIRE and mobility device be stored IN your cabin. Unless the scooter has the ability to "fold" The standard cabin just does not have the floor space. You would constantly be climbing over it to move about the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because how I am reading your posts. You seem to be suggesting to the OP that they should not hire a scooter unless they have an accessible cabin. In an ideal world every person who hires a scooter would be in an accessible cabin but in reality a lot of people who hire scooters are in standard cabins. So they either choose to "climb over " the scooter at night only or they leave the scooter overnight in area that has been specified by the ship. Normally a crew only area or by the lifts.

People having to learn quickly how to partially disassemble a scooter to get it through the door, just to put it back together again. For some reason they report of nor having a good time on the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until this last post you had not mentioned the word "Princess". Not everyone on this Disabled Cruise Travel forum has cruised either with Princess or has other posters signatures displayed.

raindropsalways Posted October 27, 2018 #14 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Correction in regards to Princess. We booked late, thus no accessible cabins available. Regardless, I was not worried because I knew my scooter would fit through the cabin door. Since I was in a standard cabin, Princess wanted to take mine and all other scooters in non-accessible cabins every night, charge them and return them in the morning. I refused to let them take it because if I had to leave my cabin for any reason, I would require my scooter. Thus Princess provided me with an extension cord long enough to reach the closet where I parked my scooter. I was not left in the hallway or any public places, it stayed with me. That cruise was this year (May 2018). I do agree with all those that suggest purchasing a scooter. I have not ever rented. Currently I am on my second scooter that I purchased and have saved many dollars by purchasing. Roughly 50 cruises. It is a Pride Go Go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal, Celebrity and Carnival they must be in the cabin, period. at all times. you cannot leave it in the passageway during the day, so the comment about climbing over stuff at night only is also incorrect. and it still needs to fit inside the cabin with or without removing pieces.

mexico8 Posted October 28, 2018 #16 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I believe that NCL will take the scooter at night and charge it somewhere and then return it to you I the morning. I was told that the cabin steward would do that for me. Unfortunately, we had to cancel the cruise due to illness so I don't know if they would in fact do it for me. If you book with any cruise line you could inquire about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
