Irish1010 Posted January 28, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2015 We hope to take an Alaskan cruise this June on the Regatta, one of Oceania's smaller ships. We're attempting to get permission from Oceania to have Care Vacations provide a recliner/lift chair which my mother needs to use instead of sleeping in a bed. We are currently caught between the two agencies.. Oceania insists it must have the dimensions of the chair; Care Vacations insists the chair will fit through the stateroom door...it comes apart in two pieces, but the agent I spoke with did not have the measurements of the chair. Has anyone had experience that might break this I,passé? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted January 29, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 29, 2015 You might cross post this on the Oceania board. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish1010 Posted January 29, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I finally received the info. I needed from Care Vacations. Now the ball is in Oceania's court. It sounds like IF Oceania will permit the Care Vacations agents to deliver and set up the chair, we're a 'GO'! Still hoping the Oceania folks will find a way to help us put this together. They've been pretty prompt about getting back to us. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eigig Posted January 31, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 31, 2015 We rented a lift chair recliner from care vacations We did have a handicapped stateroom on Ncl so the door was no issue However these chairs do come apart and we fit one through a very narrow door in our former basement You should be fine Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldinJersey Posted February 2, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Does any line offer a recliner on board? you can rent a recliner? Wish it had occurred to me to check. There was not a single chair on the Brilliance that had enough neck and head support for me, along with comfortable angle. I had to keep going back to the room to lie in the bed to give my neck a break. I do remember finding one on Crown Princess, the one time we foolish end skipped getting a handicapped room. I think on Celebrity we had a comfortable chair though not recliner in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldinJersey Posted February 13, 2015 #8 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I googled chair rentals. The rental recliner chairs I saw are in two parts and put together in your room. I also found older threads with folks discussing a "zero gravity lounge chair" which not only comes in the $2000 version I knew about but a $39.99 and up folding outdoor chair people bring as luggage, cover with pillows or foam pad, and sleep in them instead of the bed. Just go to amazon and search All departments, zero gravity chair. Yay for ingenuity. Or Ingenue-ity, which is when a cruise makes you feel young again.

Irish1010 Posted February 16, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I did get a reply from Oceaia's housekeeping folks, and we are approved for the lift chair from Care Vacations! They will remove one of the beds for us since my mother will sleep in the chair, so a little extra moving-around space is a bonus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAFTCRUISER Posted March 2, 2016 #10 Share Posted March 2, 2016 What do they charge for chair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish1010 Posted March 2, 2016 Author #11 Share Posted March 2, 2016 What do they charge for chair? If memory serves, we paid about $230 for a week long cruise round trip from Seattle. The chair was in the room when we arrived...and so was the bed! It had been left in the short entryway to our room, so we contacted housekeeping. They came promptly and removed one of the beds and arranged the chair in its place. Great service on all fronts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
