  1. Everyone here is so helpful! Always feel free to ask questions. Most likely someone in this group has experience and can help answer. Also, Welcome!!!
  2. Also I remember when I got off the plane and going through customs the agent suggested to me to get a EU passport, and I told him I already had plans to do that. If you have FB feel free to look me up. Lisa Blice is my name and I should probably be the only one, but if not my profile pic is of me and my dog.
  3. That is strange because I am a US citizen and I had no problem getting one. I’ll get ahold of my brother’s partner to see what he says about it. I will ask him of vets to contact.
  4. I brought some with me just in case, but my dog did not use them. I would suggest taking the pee pad to the box provided on the ship since that is what your dog is trained to do. I also brought one in my backpack in the plane just in case of an emergency but she didn’t need it. I read that you are getting your health certificate ready and such. I highly suggest getting a EU Pet Passport. I got mine in Amsterdam for my dog at DOA. If you look them up it says it’s an animal shelter but they also do pet care. If you have any questions please reach out to me! My brother also lives in Amsterdam and his partner is almost finished with veterinarian school, so if I don’t have the answer I can easily find out for you!
  5. I've always gotten a reply within 48 hours (business days). They are very good at responding! I travel with my service dog and they confirm when they get a form and also reply to any questions I have had.
  6. I have traveled to The Netherlands, Spain, and Italy with my service dog. Spain and Italy were on a cruise. For the most part I had zero issues with bringing her anywhere. There were a few things that we didn't bother trying to take her in (like the Vatican museum). I was able to take her in to see the Coliseum and she went with me to see The Pope speak. Basically I was asked to show proof of a service dog, which they seemed happy with a letter that I had from my doctor saying that I require her. We also did get a EU Pet Passport to make it easier to between EU Countries. Also note that while some countries do not recognize service dogs some companies still go by American rules, such as Airbnb and Uber. Really the only person we had a problem with was in Amsterdam an Uber driver refused us but wouldn't cancel the trip (I think if we cancel they still get paid and/or we still get charged). He FINALLY cancelled and we contacted Uber. The rest of the time I have zero problems with Uber. If anyone has questions about The Netherlands, Spain, and Italy I can try my best to answer! We are taking another cruise next year that leaves from Spain as well.
  7. Oh my gosh, this will be some helpful on my next cruise! I have done a couple of TAs before where I had to hand wash a few things. I never thought of this!!! Thank you!!
  8. They also work in the shower. I used it to hang my shower poof and a wash cloth. Also they can be good for wet bathing suits!
  9. I may try to train her again doing this. I tried before but it was impossible with where I lived at the time. I have over a year and a half to work on it. Thanks!!
  10. Yeah I kind of figured it will be something we will know for sure when we get on the ship. This cruise leaves from Barcelona which I feel probably even lowers my chances. We will see!
  11. We just booked a cruise with Royal Caribbean yesterday. Today my brother contacted them about my service dog and they now are allowing us to request sod to be provided! I’m unsure if this is every ship but we are on Oasis. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up in case they are cruising on Royal!
  12. Has anyone successfully brought on a grass patch or fake grass patch on board to place in the box? I have only cruised once with my service dog and she was less than thrilled with the mulch that was provided. She eventually decided it was okay but she still wasn't happy. It was an eastbound transatlantic and we didn't see land for 11 days, so once we did get to land she was very happy to have some real grass! My family and I are planning another transatlantic, but this time going westbound so we won't hit the landless days until the last part of the cruise at least.
  13. Everyone will have some wrinkled clothing, so no one will judge! Wrinkle releaser can help. also I suggest looking up some youtube videos on how to pack things without getting wrinkles.
  14. Does anyone happen to know where the service dog relief area is on Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas? My family and I are planning a cruise, which will be Mila's second! I am hoping to get a cabin near the relief area. Previously it our cabin was on the opposite end of the ship and it was quite a walk to get her there. Thanks!
  15. I am excited too! Mila and I are headed on her first cruise three weeks from tomorrow! We recently flew to Amsterdam and got her EU Pet Passport. It was her first time flying and she did amazing! I can't wait for the cruise!!
