JaneBP Posted August 5, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I have searched other BBs for this answer, but can't find the information. Is there wheelchair access for the embarkation procedures in FLL? I cannot stand for a long time nor walk a distance. Once on the ship I am fine, however. In Tampa, the port had a great service when boarding a Carnival ship. In FLL, when boarded Seabourn, there was no assistance that I noted. However, I was not as ill when I boarded there last. Any information/suggestions are most welcome. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougburns Posted August 5, 2008 #2 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Yes, they do have ramp access from the checkin area to the ship; no stairs involved for wheelchair folks. Don't worry, they'll take good care of you. They do it often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfb Posted August 5, 2008 #3 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I boarded Voyager at Port Everglades in Ft. Lauderdale and my Grandmother was in a wheelchair to see us off. We had arranged for her to visit the ship and have lunch with us before we sailed. She was handled very well by Regent staff from the minute she hit the sidewalk in her chair. I don't think you have anything to worry about. Debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneBP Posted August 5, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Thanks. I won't have a wheelchair. I just need the help to the ship from the curb. What I am hoping for is a service like at the airports, with a wheelchair assist from check-in to the gate, which I do need to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pookie2 Posted August 5, 2008 #5 Share Posted August 5, 2008 As you drop off your luggage, just let one of the Regent representatives know that you need wheel chair assistance. If they don't have a chair in the terminal, they will bring one down from the ship for you. They did this for my mom this past Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneBP Posted August 6, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Thanks to all for your prompt replies. I am sure it will be just fine. I have never done a Christmas cruise before, will certainly save on home decorations. Another quick question...do cruisers decorate their doors?
