popcicle Posted January 10, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I know cpaps are old news, new to us since last cruise and cant remember, is there an outlet by the head of the bed? How do you bring your distilled water? Also sis in law is on oxygen, can she have a tank in her room, or how it that handled? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks It will depend on which ship you are on if there will be an outlet by the bed...there is one on Harmony and the Quantum class ships. Request your extension cord and distilled water with RCI special needs....and also check with them about oxygen onboard use.

Rare LittleMissMagic Posted January 10, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 10, 2019 My Dad brought his cpap on the Navigator of the Seas two weeks ago. There was not an outlet by the bed - he just pulled the cord from the outlet in the vanity - a nice tripping hazard in the middle of the night for my mother, I'm told. I think the newer ships have more outlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikew0805 Posted January 10, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 10, 2019 As far as the CPAP. I always bring mine, and never have a problem. Royal will provide the extension cord, and the distilled water. If you call them ahead of time it will likely be waiting in your cabin. However, if you forget just let your steward know and they will have it for you by bedtime the first night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crzndeb Posted January 10, 2019 #7 Share Posted January 10, 2019 On the Serenade, my room steward had everything set up for me. The extension cord was plugged in at desk and he fed the cord behind the sofa and nightstand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted January 10, 2019 #8 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Are you bringing your own oxygen or renting it? Either way, a tank is allowed in the cabin, with prior notification, and a placard will be placed near the cabin door to notify emergency teams that oxygen is present (in case of fire). Extra tanks will be stored, and will be provided as requested. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks My FIL rented a portable oxygen concentrator at home (always get extra batteries) for flying to port and around the ship. He also rented a concentrator for the room that was waiting for him when he got to his cabin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsYukon Posted January 10, 2019 #10 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I advise RCL special needs I would be travelling with a CPAP and medication that required refrigeration and got an email back saying they would have an extension cord, distilled water, arefrigerator (not the cooler fridge that is already in each room on Jewel) and a sharps container in my room when I board. Will report back after I board on February 25! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popcicle Posted January 10, 2019 Author #12 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I got a confirmation yesterday of my request, cruise is not until August, so may not get a response quite as quickly, but at the very least they got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Barracuda Posted March 2, 2019 #14 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Carry CPAP. Always fill out the special needs form and receive prompt reply. At embarkation though it's only 50/50 that extension cord and water are actually waiting for us in cabin. Quick word with steward and it's always resolved quickly. He / she will take good care of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatour Posted March 2, 2019 #15 Share Posted March 2, 2019 You can also email this address. Special_needs@rccl.com For CPAP They will provide distilled water and an extension cord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinningimm Posted March 3, 2019 #16 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the link to the form. Sent in my request yesterday. Got an automated reply very quickly. Reply said that I would get an official confirmation once the request was processed "in the order in which it was received". Now if we could just get a cabin assignment....
