Seats in the theater will likely be too narrow for him, check the accessible area for alternate seating. Consider bringing or renting one of the larger wheelchairs so he'll always have a comfortable place to sit. Special Needs at Sea rents a "bariatric" chair for up to 500 lbs (sorry, don't know the cost). Not sure where you are sailing from, but they deliver right to your cabin in certain departure ports. As others have said, ask for a chair without arms in the MDR. The buffet will have some scattered around, they also have a reserved accessible area (at least they did on Harmony). I kn -
What an ordeal -- glad you are finally home. Thank you for sharing your story, I'm so sorry this happened to you! We always buy trip insurance, but with some policies the medical coverage is only 10k. I don't usually worry about it because we also have our regular health insurance which will cover us in emergencies...

Harmony 1/5/20 Western Caribbean Review
Ren1216 replied to Ren1216's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Just a little more info -- I redeemed our rewards about 3 months pre-cruise, then learned the OBC doesn't show up on your Cruise Planner until 2-3 weeks before the sail date. I was hoping to use the OBC in the event of any Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals, so I called and asked for my credit to be expedited (at about 50 days out). They reminded me of the 2-3 wk policy but then went ahead and applied my credit (showed in my Cruise Planner within 15 mins). My aunt called a few days later with the same request and was not treated as kindly, she was given a lecture about the policy. They did -
