I am a full time wheelchair user (cannot walk at all)

Has anyone had success in getting off (tendering) a NCL ship at Great Stirrup Cay or Grand Caymans?

From what I read about The Caymans if they use the islands tenders I might have a chance

Any info will be helpful

Stirrup Cay - Typically NCL uses a 2 level tender that is permanently docked on the island . The ship deploys a gangway to load passengers onto the tender; it's less steep than gangways at port facilities. Wheelchairs are directed to a large flat area at the bow of the tender. From the tender, ramps are deployed on Great Stirrup Cay for the disembarkation . Of course tendering in a wheelchair is always at the discretion of the Captain.

 

Grand Cayman - you'll only be allowed to tender if the ship uses one of the roll-on tenders provided by the port. You generally won't know this until the ship arrives.

Thanks, that's what I thought
