Ken at the beach Posted March 8, 2020 #3 Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) Depending on when they booked I beLieve they could still be grandfathered in until April of this year. Yep. All grandfathering will end by the end of April this year As we transition into our new policy, guests that already processed a request to bring their emotional support animal on or before July 30th, 2018, will be allowed to do so on their existing cruise.

blueridgemama Posted March 8, 2020 #5 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I saw one service dog on Oasis a few weeks ago. Well behaved, vest on and on the floor where service dogs are supposed to be. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well behaved, vest on and on the floor where service dogs are supposed to be. While "well behaved" is a requirement for a service dog, there is no requirement for a vest, and the DOJ accepts two locations for service animals: on the floor, or in the owner's arms, if the nature of the service provided requires this (most common with diabetic service dogs). Now, whether a diabetic should be drinking is another flag. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiladen Posted March 8, 2020 #7 Share Posted March 8, 2020 If I didn’t know better, I would say they both were on the brilliance T/A last November all so. He carried him most of the time. Well behaved but had to take a second look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend actually has a cat who alerts her to blood sugar drops. No training was involved, it just happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted March 8, 2020 #9 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I am not a fan of dogs on cruise ships, but I do feel that this sort of "public shaming", without knowing the facts, and posting someone's photo on Cruise Critic without his permission, is a bad idea. Anyone else? 31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandiLynn Posted March 8, 2020 #12 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Where do they do their business? That's really my only concern. Service dogs are usually better behaved than most children. Sometimes cleaner too. Would rather sit next to service dog than most children. I love kids, I am a teacher, but don't want to go into teacher mode on vacation. To those of you who parent your children, I am not talking about your child. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people who truly need their service animal. Its ashame some people exploit this concept. At our school we have a child with a service animal. It makes a world of difference for the child and all the other children to understand his disability. Edited March 9, 2020 by SandiLynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted March 9, 2020 #19 Share Posted March 9, 2020 A lot of small dogs that travel are litter boxes trained. If not trained then cruise lines set up a designated area for the dog to do no 1 and 2. You are not allowed to leave the dog unattended in the cabin. They have a whole list of do's and dont's.

There is at least one box area set up on each sailing with a Dog on board. Ship's I've been on they are on Lifeboat Deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
