Leaving on 3/21. Would love to see the daily compass

We are sailing in March and are thinking of buying the unlimited package with prints bi would love to hear if they resolve the cd issue.

We are traveling with my sister and her family in another cabin. They say that if you link the cabins you can get the second package for 50% off but can't find anywhere you can purchase that on-line. Do you have any info on that?

And finally, do you have a lot of opportunity for pictures and multiple poses. My wife loves to scrapbook and photo book and relies on lots and lots of photos.

Are the photographers high quality and professional? We went on a princess cruise last year and they took beautiful pictures of us. It was hard to chose which ones to take.

Does anyone know if O'Douls or non alcoholic beer is included in beers or in the non-alcohol drinks. Also, can you carry O'Douls on board. Got the ultimate package for us but the non-alcohol package for dad who enjoys an O'Douls

Thanks

Paul, when are you sailing in March? Have you joined a roll call?

 

I'll try to answer a few of your questions since I've traveled with a wheelchair previously although your best bet might be to call Royal's accessibility dept.

 

It sounds like your father should bring his own motorized chair for more freedom and again check with Royal regarding the excursion. Royal does have a partnership with a couple of rental companies if you would like to have a wheelchair delivered to the cabin. I did this on Allure and it cost about $70 for the week. The ship does not provide wheelchairs for passenger use except in an emergency situation.

 

Another option for a Disney Day would be to rent a car for the day. We've done that a couple of times and we've gotten a rental for under $50.00. It worked out great! That way you can go directly to your park of choice and not be dropped off at the TTC.

 

Good luck with your planning. You can also get a bunch of info on the accessibilities board.

Yes I have posted to roll call and registered for the M&M. We are sailing on March 21 on the Explorer.

I'll contact the accessibility dept from Royal. Great idea. And I think we will try to rent a wheelchair.

Thanks

Hi all, we are traveling on the Ex in March. We have a handicap accessible room and someone traveling with us that is pretty much wheelchair bound. I have a few questions.

My dad has both a motorized wheelchair and a regular push chair. We were debating which one to take or to take both. The motorized wheelchair gives him a lot of freedom, he can go off on his own, but it's bulkier and doesn't collapse. The push chair is great for traveling in vehicles because it folds but he is more reliant on others.

Are the shore excursions accessible to someone in an motorized wheelchair. We specifically wanted to go on the Disney world excursion but are not sure if he can get on the bus (he can get out of the chair and transfer to a seat and even go up a couple steps if needed, but that's about it). If it's not accessible for a motorized chair, is it accessible for someone in a regular wheelchair? I have looked at the excursions and the Disney trip does not have the wheelchair icon.

Also does the ship have wheelchairs that can be borrowed? Can we bring his motorized chair and if we need a collapsible chair, can we use one the ship has on hand.

We have traveled to Vegas, Florida, and other vacations with dad but this is the first cruise we have taken the wheelchair on. We've learned its best to be prepared for a smooth trip.

Thanks for all your help. If you have any other hints on traveling with a wheelchair, I would greatly appreciate them.

Thanks

Paul
