Lots of people use oxygen while on a cruise and there are several threads regarding oxygen on this board.   Do a search for oxygen in this Disabled Cruise forum.   

 

You can rent portable oxygen concentrators from the frequently mentioned special needs rental companies (scootaround.com, for example) if this is of interest.  These can be delivered to your home (to take from home to your ship) or be delivered to your stateroom.  

 

Each cruise line has specific guidelines for passengers bringing oxygen.  When you have an idea of what cruise line you want to book, take a look at its policies for oxygen.  

 

Provide more information or questions and people on this board can give you more specific responses.

My husband has been cruising with oxygen for several years.  He has an Inogen portable concentrator for when he is out of the cabin.  Although you can use it 24/7 he chooses not to.  We rent a room concentrator from Special Needs at Sea.  They deliver it to your stateroom and pick it up when the cruise is over.  Price wise it is worth it to us.  For example, we have an upcoming cruise (B2B) on Princess from San Francisco for a total of 26 nights and the rental cost is $404.00  They include a cannula, connector piece and a long hose for moving around the room.  As mentioned above I would check with your cruise line and also airline if you are flying.

I think you'll find that you can do alot of what you did before with some adjustments,  Happy travels.
