Taking a Wheelchair on a Cruise

March 21st, 2008

A cruise can be a wonderful, relaxing vacation. Seeing the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean or the spectacular landscape of Alaska’s coast can be exhilarating. However, if you are a wheelchair traveler, there are some things you should know.

First, you must inquire about documentation you need to provide to ensure you get a wheelchair accessible room. If you simply ask for one, you are not guaranteed to get one. Next, realize that quarters are tight on a ship. The elevators and hallways can provide challenges‹not that you won¹t fit. But sometimes people have to make accommodations for you and that may make you uncomfortable.

The biggest obstacle for those in wheelchairs is often the port excursions.
Depending on where you cruise, there aren¹t necessarily accessibility laws.
It can even be a challenge to find wheelchair transportation. If you can, take a folding chair to be as flexible as possible.
