Review summary

This was a great vacation! I came with some unexpected special needs and the accommodations that the staff made were exceptional. I broke my foot a week prior to the cruise and ended up wearing a huge boot and using a cane when neccesary. Of course, the Doctors orders were to stay off the foot as much as possible. So, the cruise line provided wheel chair service on and off the ship at each port. On board I used a scooter so I could independently get around the ship. In the dining room, the wait staff took care of the scooter and dealt with my specialized diet like it was no big deal. You can not imagine how these little things helped to make me feel almost normal. I could not praise your crew more.

 

The only issue we had was the confusion with the time. The ship time verses the land time and then the time changes. We were late for one of our tours by a half hour, but they were gracious enough to create another one just for us so we actually didn't lose it. That was the one we had to wait for the tender to arrive so we could not get off any earlier.

 

Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Very nice. staff was thorough and friendly. She answered all our questions...probably more than she barganed for!

Ship tip

Always, always a balcany! If you have a mobility issue, rent a scooter. It is worth every penny. You maintain your independence and those that are with you can relax a little more.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

Question for you. Did you have to wait in the regular lines for boarding/unboarding or do they have a different line for handicapped? Family we are traveling with just informed us they purchased FTTF and now it's all sold out.

I am on this ship in Oct for a 15 day to HAWAII. I've never had any issues with any of the CCL staff but it is good to hear good things about them. Thanks

Don't worry about the chair. The wait staff will take care of it for you. My wife is in a wheel chair and we never had to worry about it at the MDR

That's awesome! My 3 year old uses a wheelchair and I am a bit nervous about it. Did they watch your scooter during dinner? I have been wondering what we will do with his chair during dinner.
