Medical sharps.

We are on Discovery. 2 in January and it is our first time with Thompson/Marella.

Both my wife and I are insulin dependant diabetics. Does anyone know if they will supply and dispose of sharps boxes or do we need to take our own and take them back home with us.

My daughter has a little travel sharps box . I think we got her it on amazon . We also always took (now she takes) a frio with us when traveling to caribbean (or the artic lol) as it keeps insulin at the correct temp even if there is a power outage . This was the best thing we ever bought, as we/she are quite adventurous travelers (Artic husky dog holiday, surf camps med summer no electric, camping yellowstone park, -next stop with her -tour of iceland in December)

Thanks for your reply.

I do have travel sharps boxes but as we have 11 injections a day between us we tend to fill up 4 of them in the 2 weeks. P and O supply and dispose of them for us and I’m hoping Marella will do the same.

Would save us lots of room in the cases.

It’s great that she doesn’t let it hold her back. A sensible approach and a bit of forward planning and you can achieve the same as anyone.

Hi. I would also like to know this about sharps as my friend travelling with us is also diabetic. Also is there a frigerator or a mini bar in cabin for her to keep her insulin.

Thanks for any information provided.

When we went on the spirit this year and my dad is a diabetic and he was given a sharps bin by the room steward on request at reception. They put it in the room and collected at the end of cruise.

No fridges in the cabins but I think they have in the suites. I believe that you can ask for your medicine to be stored in the medical unit.

Thank you for this information. I will let my friend know and have her contact the cruise line to get things sorted out.

Previously on Celebration my husband needed a sharps box and we got it no problem through the room steward.

A friend has just returned from a cruise on Discovery 2 and did not have a fridge in his cabin ( don’t know what cabin). However my travel agent has spoken with a contact at Marella and says that balcony cabins on decks 7 and 8 do have fridges.

We certainly did on deck 8

That's true, de luxe balcony cabins on deck 7, junior suites and main suites on deck 8 all have fridges.
