you shouldn't have to pay for extra luggage when they are medical supplies. I believe the airline has to let you take them and not charge you because you need it. I'd check on that first so you can take your supplies with you.

My husband is in a power wheelchair and we will be sailing on the Oasis of the Seas in an accessible balcony room on August 5th. I'll be able to tell you more when we get back. Our travel agent told us that RCI is one of the most accessible cruise lines...so here's to hoping! When are you cruising?
Power Wheelchair on RCL
in Disabled Cruise Travel

We just got back on Sunday from our cruise on Oasis of the Seas. My husband uses a permobil power chair. He had no problems fitting under the tables. For entertainment...go early because they fill up fast and so do the accessible spots. We spent time at the casino as well...it can be hard to get around as it can get quite crowded and there are some spots he couldn't get through at all. Otherwise the ship was pretty accessible, however, the ramps to get on and off the ship I found to be very steep, my husband almost fell out of his wheelchair at one point because of how steep it was. Make sure he is very secure when on the ramps and follow in front / behind him to make sure he is safe.
If you have any other questions I'd be happy to answer. Are you flying or driving to the port?
