I am visually impaired and can't drive. Althought I can still see but I walk witha white cane for my added safety. I and my wife will sail on Carnival Horizon in June. I am wondering whether I would be allow to ride on the Sky Ride. Will I need good eyesight to operate the Sky Ride?

I was at the same sailing as yours, and I echo your comments about food. Too me, most of the foods were way salty. I wrote about this trip here.

I contacted Bermuda goverment and they sent me an application for Dog and Cat Import Permit. The application appears to be somewhat complicated and looks like they don't accept the 3-year rabbie shot either.

I found the same pet info too. I am just wondering if it would applicable to guide dog. If anyone here taken a guide dog to Bermuda, please share your experience. Thanks.

We plan to take a cruise to Bermuda on the new NCL's Breakaway. Could someone plase tell me what paper work is needed to bring a guide dog to Bermuda? Would I need a import permit from Bermuda government? Are the shopping area and transportation accessible to guide dog user?

Yes! Me too! Most importantly, I would check with the cruiselines Special Needs or Access Department.

 

Something I will always say about travel with a Service/Working Dog....ALWAYS have your "ducks [or dogs] in a row!"

 

There have been instances when folks have been denied access to their cruise because they forgot their Passport or proper I.D.

 

The Intl. Cert. is your dogs I.D. At least that's what I've known.

 

I called my Vet's office and Princess Cruiselines. They told me that the Certificate IS REQUIRED for transporting my Service Dog into and out of a foreign country and Canada is a foreign country.

 

I don't know who MasterLee spoke with but, please, be careful about having the proper documentation.

 

Call your cruiseline to be sure.

It is big time confusion. I called NCL and was told all I need is rabies certificate. Than I sent them a email asking the same question, the reply was I would need a USDA certificte. So, just to be on the safe side, I go to get a USDA certificate. Thanks everyone for your input.

I've never been on NCL, but the Health Certificate from our Vet and recent Rabies Cert. (Canadian Requirement) was all we have needed to sail multiple times to Alaska, as well as Canada/NE.

I just call the Colorad USDA VS area office and was told I do not need a USDA health certificate to travel to Canada on a cruise ship.

I mistakenly started a new thread asking the following question. I re-post the question here and hopefully someone can give me his first hand experience. Would I need an USDA health certificate to cruise on NCL to Alaska, with a stop in Canada port?

My original question:

am a bit confused as exactly what travel documentation would I need for traveling with a guide dog. We booked a cruise with Norweighen to Alaska with one port of call in Canada. NCL told me I would need a USDA health certifcate. When I contacted my Vet, he questioned me whether we really need an USDA health certificate. He said the USDA health certificate is mean for international travel, it would cost a lot more and take longer time to process. He said we probably just need a "regular" health certificate to travel to Alaska. Any one has first hand experience as I would need to travel to Alaska on NCL cruise ship? One more question, is a rabies certificate same as health certificate
