Hoyer lift Royal Caribbean

[Klwoodbluez]

Has anyone used a hoyer lift on Royal Caribbean specifically mariner of the sea? I’m trying to find out if a hoyer lift can easily be maneuvered with an electric wheelchair in the room. We need the lift to do all transfers.

Have you done a search for a Hoyer left on this forum?   There are several discussions about it.  

 

Do you have an accessible stateroom?   You will most certainly need one.  

 

And check with Royal's Access Department.  They will need to know about the Hoyer and wheelchair.   https://www.royalcaribbean.com/experience/accessible-cruising

 

Cory Lee has a discussion on his website with Royal's Director of Disabilities and he mentions a Hoyer lift.  https://www.royalcaribbean.com/experience/accessible-cruising

We have used a Hoyer in a category 2B accessible cabin on Adventure with a manual Quickie Iris wheelchair. All accessible cabins we have been in(RCL, NCL, and DCL) have ample room for use of Hoyer lift. We store it in the shower area when not in use.

Just want to add that you most definitely need an accessible room for us of the Hoyer. Also, if needed you can also rent a hospital bed. Crew will remove one of the twin beds and the hospital bed fits nicely in that area - just be sure to inform the Special Needs department in advance.
