guiding me

I am thinking of cruising the Mediterranean starting in Rome, and was told I need to get a EU passport from a veterinarian there for my guide dog. I have searched the internet for the cost of vet. + EU passport to no avail . Has anyone purchased a EU pet passport in Rome; if so, could you let me know what you paid for it ? Thanks.

Dear Medtech2, Here is a better way, go to Google, search for..... dog law reporter/cruise lines must accommodate service animals it works on my I pad. The answer was that yes the dog will be allowed to stay in the cabin, if the country will not allow the dog ashore, and that the cruise line cannot stop the user of the dog from going ashore if they wish, without the dog.

Thank you to all who replied to my question about guide dog in cabin. Since my post I have found this Web site http://www.doglawreporter.blogspot.ca/2010/07/cruise-lines-must-accommodate-service which in fact answers my question. As a blind lady, paragraphs 13,14 & 15 applies to me. I have contacted the cruise line and they have agreed to abide by this rule. To answer some of your questions, the country I was reffering to that does not allow dogs to enter the country is Turkey. Naturaly I would prefer to take my dog with me when going ashore as her job is to guide me around people, obstacles, up & down stairs & curbs and generaly keep me safe. She gives me a measure of independance , but in a strange place my husband ensures that we do not get lost. She does not read signs or traffic lights;;;Ha!Ha!

We are thinking of a cruise to the Mediterranean on NCL. Jade.Can I leave my guide dog in the cabin if one of the countries do not allow the dog ashore?
