cat613 Posted August 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 17, 2018 would like to know if any cruise lines allow someone who does at home dialysis on board their ships. My 26 year old granddaughter would love to go to Hawaii. Thanks for any info you can provide me Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Essiesmom Posted August 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 17, 2018 There are multiple threads about dialysis on the Disabled Cruising board here under Special Interest Cruising. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi13 Posted August 17, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 17, 2018 DW worked as a renal RN in a trauma hospital for many years. Best recommendation is to contact the special needs department of the cruise lines you are considering, or provide that itinerary. She suggests the probability will depend on whether your grand-daughter is on home hemo or home peritoneal dialysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted August 17, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Her "Home Dialysis Center " will have info on Dialysis at Seas.....cruising is totally doable, but it's much more expensive than cruising when NOT on dialysis! Have her call her home center nurse and get the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooch47 Posted August 17, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I would recommend you check NCL's cruises that cruise only around the Hawaiian Isles. The ones that have many days at sea away from any land would seem dangerous in case a complication arose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLH Arizona Posted August 17, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I thought I read somewhere that select Celebrity and Royal Caribbean ships have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
