This may vary by port, but there should be a process in place to assist folks who need help - if you mention the port someone here may give you specifics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonopah Posted May 5, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 5, 2022 There is a special needs form on the Royal Caribbean website. Fill it out and put in your specific needs. One of the options is “extra assistance at the pier”. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is in a wheelchair, I find that it's helpful to do your online check in as soon as it's available to get the earliest boarding time. And then, I usually show up extra early even if I have to sit in the car for a bit. I find that early is better. I can only speak to Bayonne and Tampa, but I'd imagine that most ports will have a separate line for disabled folks. Just ask the porter when you're dropping off your bags if there is a handicapped check in area. As @Tonopah says, fill out the special needs form on the Royal website. You can find a link to 'Accessible Cruising' at the bottom of the main page. You'll find a link to the form there. You can request boarding assistance on that form and anything you may need. I've found them to be helpful, although I have made requests ahead of time that didn't get filled. But no matter, the room attendants are always helpful, especially if you're in an accessible cabin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Broons77 Posted May 6, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 6, 2022 One more thing to remember as you seem a bit anxious with your question... You're going to be one of many disabled folks on the boat. And for good reason, it's an incredibly convenient vacation if you have trouble getting around. And because there are a number of folks like us, they make a decent effort at making things as convenient as they can. I promise you you'll have a great time. Happy to try and answer any other questions you may have. 👩🦽🚢 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
