Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted July 15 #2 Share Posted July 15 As long as it will physically fit they should be able to accommodate you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted July 15 #3 Share Posted July 15 Of much more concern *might* be ports where you must tender. Those locations generally require a fold up style scooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A folding/collapsible scooter is the best way to go. If it can be folded into something smaller, it will be able to go on the shuttle just fine.

If you rent one of the standard smallish 4 wheel ones they are usually too heavy for the tender crew to load and too large for the coach. If you buy one buy a folding type as light as possible, similarly if you rent. They are not inexpensive but will allow you to go just about anywhere, even folding into a taxi trunk. I have a Travelscoot that is very lightweight, and an Atto which is a bit heavier but breaks into 2 parts to fit a planes overhead locker. They are not inexpensive but will make a dramatic difference to your enjoyment of the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clek Posted July 16 #8 Share Posted July 16 Some of the ports we hit on the World Cruise this year had city buses not coaches. There was no under the bus storage for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTowner Posted July 31 #9 Share Posted July 31 I’ve taken my scooter on loads of cruise shuttle buses with no problem. I’ve had the type that dismantles into 5 parts, but now have one that closes with a remote control. It was allowed on a tender earlier this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
