NCL Bliss Alaskan Cruise

[mistshar]

Would like to have some information concerning using a scooter at ports on Alaskan cruises.  It is my understanding that NCL does not dock close to stores and shops and you have to ride in a bus to get there.  Do they have availability for someone with a scooter?  Also what excursions were good for people using a scooter.  TIA

In both Juneau and Ketchikan there are free shuttles to town. In Icy Strait Point they offer a golf cart shuttle to the main area. Skagway has a bus service that runs around town for 3.00 pp.

Thank you for the info but will they allow scooters on those vehicles?

I saw people with scooters board the shuttle buses in Sitka and Ketchikan.  The attendant loaded the scooters where the luggage would go and the first couple of seats are reserved for those with mobility difficulties. Don’t know about the other ports.

Just off the Bliss and I saw what Laudergayle said above. In Juneau I watched the shuttle driver in front of us load scooters into the luggage compartment of the bus. So accessing the shuttles shouldn’t be an issue. As for excursions I’m sorry I can’t help a lot but for some reason I seem to remember there was someone in a scooter on our whale watching tour in Icy Strait. But don’t hold me to it.
