I'm interested, so checked out the form. It has "booking reference"...does that mean that you have to book FIRST and "hope" they approve the match?

YMMV...some (but definitely not all) European airlines have different rules regarding medical equipment.

Use a separate travel bag for your CPAP (this avoids explanations and unpacking the regular bag). Put a tag on the bag with "Medical Equipment". Be sure that ALL of your supplies are in the bag...don't check any CPAP supplies. DH has a travel CPAP that he puts in a fold up backpack. Don't forget your power cord...😵‍💫

Best suggestion: check on the price for a Family Suite. Most (if not all) have one.

Yes...leaving the power cord behind is very common. I had a patient years ago who was traveling and forgot his power cord. He came into my office looking for a new one. I told him I could sell him one, but it would be 2-3 times what Radio Shack would charge (yeah, I know...it was a long time ago). He decided to go with Radio Shack.

It would probably be easier for him to get off the ship and find a local supplier. As others noted: what part? There may be a work around.

WOW!!!

Looks to me that they're going back to the way it used to be...before they messed with it.

Sure...tap water is OK for short periods of time (like a cruise). The problem with tap water is the minerals (and some bottled water may have this issue). If you use tap water (BTW: the tap water on the ship is perfectly fine), when you get home, just do a thorough clean/soak with 1 part water to 3 or 4 parts white vinegar. Years ago, I had a patient who went on a cruise and didn't know water was available for his CPAP. He went without and got REALLY dry mucous membranes as a result...don't do that. If you need humidification, you need it. DH uses CPAP without water and does better than with. BTW: he bought a Z2 Auto from Breas for travel. It's really, really small (maybe weighs 2 pounds). It would fit in a purse or backpack easily. It comes with a "French nose" for those who need humidification.

You can bring food ON, but you can't take it OFF (unless in original sealed package)...but why? The ship has food.

The plug behind the beds are European style.

Yes.

Yes.

That works...if there's no line for the Blue Lane. On our cruise in January. the Blue Lane was really long. It took us 45 minutes to get to the front and by the time we were at the front the line behind us was just as long as when we got in line. The Green Lane line was almost non-existent. One or 2 at a time with no wait.

Note: the "cobb salad" is really a chopped salad with the usual cobb salad ingredients. Also, it is very small for a main. It's really more appetizer sized.
