Celebrity will provide you use of a wheelchair from cur to ship, and use around the ship, back to pickup - no charge.

Sorry, but this is incorrect.

 

From the Celebrity FAQs:

Do you provide wheelchairs or scooters? 

We provide complimentary wheelchairs for getting on and off the ship. If you require a wheelchair or scooter during the cruise, you can bring your own or rent one from a company that provides rentals for cruises.

 

DUTRAVEL has provided the links to the appropriate providers for North American home ports. Not sure about international embarkation ports.

For use around the ship only if you sustain an injury during the cruise

From experience, what Celebrity says and what happens are quit different! Before you board, if you ask for a wheelchair it will be provide - with a pusher to your cabin or a lunch venue and just ask to leave the wheelchair. Walk down almost any hallway and you will see wheelchairs with the Celebrity name on the back that passengers leave outside their cabin. At the ov cafe, theater, or cafe B - celebrity wheelchairs. Leaving the ship on an excursion, no problem, they even have dedicated crew at the gangway to help wheelchairs on and off(anyone who has been on a Celebrity cruise has seen that). Disembarkations, there is a pusher to assist you all the way to taxi or car service.

while we travel with our own wheelchair, there are times when we still need to use a chair that has the Celebrity or ships name on it.

We rented a scooter and didn't need to fill out a form. If you need wheelchair assistance boarding or disembarking the ship you do need to request that ahead of time however.
