cruise love Posted February 26, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hi All i am travelling with my 89 year mother in Jan 2020 on the Ovation of the Seas She does not need an accessible cabin but needs to use a shower chair and a raised toilet seat I can hire a portable scooter for her to use aboard ship Does any one know can I arrange these things through the ship or do I have to bring them with me If it is too hard to arrange she can do without by they do make her life easier Thanks in advance Cruise Love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted February 26, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I believe you have to bring those with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted February 26, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I think the scooter is the only thing you need to bring, but if you bring a scooter you probably need an accessible cabin to get through the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LokiPoki Posted March 8, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Shower stool can be provided upon request - though the ones I’ve had provided are very basic - small, no arms or back (and honestly, anything bigger probably wouldn’t fit into the shower cubicle). I have had a raised seat on one cruise, but it was a total and utter nuisance - took up already limited space, and also prevented the toilet lid ‘sealing’ - so the thing would never flush properly. Just get in touch with special needs/access dept for whoever you’re cruising with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
