If you use a mobility device, how do you vet a cruise before you book it? π
Five questions I ask before I book any cruise, no matter the line.
What is the verified door width of the stateroom AND the bathroom? The bathroom door is the one that fails wheelchair users.
Where is the muster station relative to the cabin? Drills can be twenty minutes, loud, and crowded. While Royal has moved to "in room" drills and checking in at a station, Disney Cruise still makes you go and wait for eeevvvveerrrryyyy one in your group to arrive and do the drill. It's gut wrenching.
What is the tender policy for power mobility devices? Some lines will NOT tender a power chair at all. Some will on calm water with notice.
Who is my actual contact for special arrangements? Name, email, making sure they can contact at sea.
These are the questions an advisor should be asking on your behalf. Which one would you not have thought to ask?
