Because the ship was at full capacity with alot of children onboard as it was school holidays - there wasn't sufficient lifeboat space. It is likely the next sailing doesn't have as many children onboard as it is not school holidays. Brittania has 3650 berths with a maximum capacity of 4406. (Using extra berths for kids)

Thanks Annie - there's always one !!!!!!! Not sure where in any of my post's I actually asked if "I could get away with it!!!!!!" I have read them through several times and still can't find it!!!!!!!

Yup - didn't think of that!!!! Good Point !!!!

That would be perfect - I might enquire if it would be possible. I guess it would probably be down to whether they have storage space.

Thank you for your kind words xx

Thanks - I am not asking if "I can get away with it." My husband had heart failure in February and gets tired very quickly. He does not need a scooter full time. I was just hoping to be able to go further a field when we go ashore. I always book on the opening day when booking - however I did not book an accessible cabin as I didn't know he would need one at the time of booking - both cruises have been moved several times during covid. We are in a suite on one of the cruises so may be able to use a scooter on that cruise!

The plan would be to leave it in the cabin at all times - except for going ashore - where I would wheel it in it's suitcase form to the dock and then it would be ridden on shore only.

Yes - that would be the plan - to store it in suitcase form. It would only be wheeled like a case in the corridors and carried down the gangway and used once ashore. It would easily fit in the open wardrobe area for storage. At no point would it be opened up onboard or ridden on the ship itself.

Thank you

I will - If I decide to buy one - just an idea at the moment. Hence my post just seeing if anyone has actually done this.

Hi I am considering purchasing a mobility scooter for my husband. I know that P and O need you to book an accessible cabin if you wish to take a scooter. Just wondering if this still the case if the scooter folds into a small suitcase and is only to be used ashore. My husband can manage around the ship and wouldn't use it onboard. It would be stored in the cabin. wheeled off the ship and then just used ashore. Would you still have to book an accessible cabin or would you be allowed to book a standard cabin. This is the scooter I was looking at buying Moving Life Atto | Mobility Equipment online & in-store in Beverley, serving Hull & East Yorkshire (fox-mobility.co.uk) Just wondering if anyone has been allowed to take something like this in a standard cabin. Thanks
