bluecruise1 Posted May 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2017 How close to the terminal building at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale can a car service drop off passsengers? My mom is disabled and needs wheelchair help to get into the terminal and I'm trying to figure out how far she'll have to walk on her own before getting wheelchair assistance. We will be on Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhynes97 Posted May 18, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I feel sure they have handicapped parking. Or if you are being dropped off it should be where handicapped can get in with little problem. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecruise1 Posted May 18, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Thanks, but I was hoping someone who had been to that port could give me more information. Guess I will call the terminal directly and see what they can tell me. My mom is very worried about how far she may have to walk before getting someone to come with a wheelchair.

Rare Essiesmom Posted May 18, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Someone on the Florida Departures board might be able to tell you, or on the Royal Caribbean board. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfessorEFFE Posted May 20, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 20, 2017 bluecruise1, Been on the Allure one time, I am sure the car service can drop your mom off right at the entrance. But I do have a question. If your mom is worried about how far she's going to walk to board, how is she getting around on the ship? How is she going to deal with disembarking at cruise ports? Have you considered renting a scooter? Can your mom drive one? I don't think you can just borrow a wheelchair from the cruise lines for the trip, but you could call their special needs department to be sure. If you rent a scooter, some rental companies will let you pick it up and deliver it off ship. That would let your mom have an easy embarkation and disembarkation. Once you get inside the RCI port building there will be wheel chair folks avail to help your mom. I believe they are after the desks where you check in. Some ports are strange in that ships personnel cannot help you once you are in the terminal building. I don't remember if Ft Lauderdale is that way.
