Meredith22 Posted August 12, 2007 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Does anyone know if there are special boarding procedures or lines for passengers using wheelchairs? I am going on a Carnival cruise this fall. Thanks! Meredith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinter Posted August 12, 2007 #2 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Have not been on Carnival, but on most cruise lines if you show up in a wheelchair or walker, or pre-arrange a wheelchair at the terminal, they will provide an escort (wheelchair pusher) and you get expedited boarding for your entire party. I would be suprised if Carnival is any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndsumfun Posted August 12, 2007 #3 Share Posted August 12, 2007 we cruised with Carnival in May. Went up to the lady directing the lines & she put us & our party to the front of the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meredith22 Posted August 12, 2007 Author #4 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I don't know percentages, but I'm guessing from what you've both said that there aren't enough disabled passengers for "special treatment" to cause a problem. While I wouldn't want others to be upset over my taking "cuts" in line, I'm not sure I can physically handle a long wait out in the sun, either. Besides, I don't expect any of the able-bodied passengers to be thinking of me when they're off doing physically challenging excursions that I cannot possibly participate in. One cut in line isn't much of a trade-off for that. Thanks for the help! I'll let you know how it goes! Meredith:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
