Maybe it’s the special needs form the cruise line has you fill in?

Thank you for the valuable info. I am thinking of just brining my light weight travel wheelchair. Hubby will have to push but I can also walk with it if need be. Thinking Santorini may be where I should do a paid excursion by car?

Thank you! I wish he had more towns with the disabled access reviews where I'm going!

We are arriving one day early but haven't booked hotel in Venice yet. Any ideas for just a night and close to transport for train?

Just wondering if you didn't get answers, did you go since this post? I'm wondering same things?

We are leaving on a Celebrity cruise of the Eastern Mediterranean in May. Fly to Venice but most ships now leave out of port of Ravenna due to water issues. What's the best way to get from Venice to Ravenna?

Well I'm not having luck renting a scooter for this cruise. While Celebrity recommended Scootaround and I got a quote of $525 for the week, when I actually went to book the rental, they checked and actually don't rent in Ravenno or Athens so I can't get one from them. I thought about bringing my own but am worried about damage over and back with the flight connections. I'm wondering if I'm better off just taking my transport manual foldable wheelchair and hoping hubby can push me like we did in Czech Republic, Budapest, and Vienna when we went of a River Cruise this past July. Cobblestones were rough but we worked it.

Traveling on Celebrity Constellation and reserving a scooter through either Scootaround or Special Needs Group. I have an accessible cabin booked. Cruise leaves out of Ravenna, Italy and ports are Split, Croatia, Dubrovnik, Croatia, Santorini, Greece, Rhodes, Greece, Ephesus, Turkey, Mykonos, Greece ending in Athens. I believe that in the tender ports I won’t be able to take the scooter off the ship but has anyone taking it off ship in regular ports? Is that permitted and are there challenges with cobblestones or other terrain in these areas?

We just traveled on Scenic Amber on the Danube and once we got to Passau from Budapest and Vienna, we couldn’t go on to Vilshofen or Nuremberg due to low water levels.

Planning a cruise to Hawaii next May to take advantage of early pricing. Recent reviews are horrible so do you think pricing will go down and perks will go up? Same price depending on who I book with but Norwegian offering 2 for 1 air while others just points or ship credit or Costco card so not sure where best to book?
