Wheelchairs on Cruise Ships

 

Wheelchairs are not available on the Celebrity Cruise Ship.

If you would like to ensure you have a wheelchair onboard available, you can bring your own or rent one from an outside vendor who will deliver it to the ship. The following vendors rent wheelchairs to guests with disabilities and have security clearance to get on and off our ships:

·         Special Needs at Sea: 1-800-513-4515 or 1-954-585-0575

·         Scootaround (formerly Care Vacations): 1-888-441-7575 or 1-204-982-0657

I called Special Needs at Sea and found out that the cost is $125 for the rental.  The chair would be delivered to your stateroom and picked up from your stateroom at the end of the cruise.  You can give them a credit card number on the phone as well as your name and stateroom number.

Plan ahead so that you are not surprised.  This tip is for cruising out of Fort Lauderdale.  Ask your cruise ship toll free number about out ports of departure.  

The advantage to this is not having to check a wheel chair on the plane.  Airports provide them.  And Cruise Lines accommodate this.
