As to water, cans and glass bottles are permitted. Plastic is not permitted at all. The corkage fee policy was adopted a couple of years ago. I suppose catching it at boarding, regardless of where one intended to drink said wine, prevents “leaks” of money.

Yes, under law they are required to provide equivalent service, but that is sometimes difficult for hotels to internalize. They also may be in a limited position to drive a taxi to actually appear as scheduled. A medical transport specialist company is more likely to adhere to a schedule. Technically, if she is enrolled in special transit services at home, she would also be qualified in Tampa, subject to the program services in Tampa.

I have a significant lack of faith in uberwav for an essential ride. If the service is available in a region, it doesn’t mean there will actually be a vehicle available to serve you when you request one. To get FROM the ship to the airport, I highly advise using the ship’s transfer service, requesting power wheelchair transport. They will likely use Greyhound-style buses which have a wheelchair lift near the rear wheels. To get FROM the airport TO the ship, I do NOT recommend flying in the same day, but you might want to look at purchasing hotel and transfer services through the cruise line, shifting responsibility for a wheelchair accessible vehicle to the cruise line. Cabs can be hit or miss. We’ve had drivers show up 10 minutes early and 3 hours late. Earlier in the day (9a) seems to be better than late in the day. Safe travels!

The Walt Disney World resort is 58 minutes from Port Canaveral.

We were on a cruise last year. It was one and done for one of the performers. Great voice.

It is difficult, if not impossible to pass devices that are left in a passageway. That is not acceptable. I have a right to passage in the hallway and a need for access in emergency situations. You may find your device repositioned in one of the further elevator lobbies if you block the passage.

Name changes are not generally permitted. Trip protection can generally be purchased at any point before final payment is due, but do pay attention to coverage of pre-existing condition exceptions. Some policies require purchase of protection at or within a few days of original booking for coverage of preexisting conditions.

We rented one from specialneedsatsea in Fort Lauderdale. It might not count as mobility equipment fir airline travel. I honestly don’t know. Flying it based on weight/size could be pricey.

3:45 or so via train.

If they are NOT using the Renaissance at the port, I’d be very tempted to drop the stay with HAL entirely, unless I needed wheelchair transportation AND hotel-ship transport was included in the package. I’d much rather be on/near the Intercoastal on 17th than inland. Easy access to the Water Taxi, relatively easy access to the beach, Las Olas, and more.

But can vary substantially on battery condition and weight!

About 900 feet up the Borgo di Greci road.

As I remember, two of the requirements is a white/light background and an unfiltered photo. I don’t think their standard backdrops include white, though you could find a white wall on the exterior of the ship, especially on Deck 11 on a Pinnacle or somewhere similar.

Sometimes in includes crew gratuity, sometimes it does not, depending on what sale is in effect. I wish they’d include it as a “plus” to differentiate when it was included, (eg HIA+).

The drink packages don’t include specialty restaurant dinners/lunches (though you can use the beverage packages for drinks/drinks with dinner IN the specialty restaurants.) Lobster is available at every restaurant, in one form or another. It is ob the “regular” menu at Rudi’s. Yes, wi-fi is “extra,” (eg, not included in your base fare). HAL’s Have it All package includes the signature drink plan, wifi, and a couple of specialty dinners, depending on cruise length.

Your insurer is the best entity to tell you what information they require to substantiate a claim. My GUESS is that they would want medical information, including diagnosis and treatment/procedures provided and a statement from the physician regarding thir medical necessity. I am sure they would want billing information. I expect the insurance company would also want a copy of an order requiring quarantine. They would also want descriptions of any events ,including reveipts/pricing) you could not participate in due to quarantine and the cancellation policy for each of those events. If you incurred additional expenses due to travel restrictions resulting from infection/quarantine and they are coveted by your policy/you got any necessary preapproval), I expect they would want all relevant receipts.

Sydney is a tender port,I believe. Halifax depends on the number of ships. At Portland, there are two separate places where cruise ships dock.

You may want to clarify whether the validity expiration date is the date you enter the US or the date you return (finally) to Canada. Here is the CPB list countries that the US permits travelers from with less than 6 months’ validity remaining (see the downloadable file on the page). https://www.cbp.gov/document/bulletins/six-month-passport-validity-update

See replies in the other thread. While you may not get great detail, you can get highlights from both in a single day, depending upon what else is on your agenda.

You might want to/need to consider how the use of tenders may affect your cruise. Depending upon the specific ship and weather conditions, the transfer between the cruise ship and tenders can be a little challenging. Sometimes scooters and/or wheelchairs are not permitted aboard tenders (especially if the ship is using her own vessels).

What specific phone/version of Android? The app does not get on well with older phones/versions of Android. It requires Android 10 or later: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hollandamerica.navigator.moapp&hl=en&gl=US. A new version of the app was released yesterday (Monday). For reinstalling, did you delete the original installation first?

It’s Spring Break. It’s not unusual for hotels to be sold out.

Many excursions will be challenging for you. There is no place to put a scooter on a 12 or 15 passenger van or many minibuses., which are frequently used. Excursions that use Greyhound-style buses may be able to stow your scooter ib the luggage compartment, however you would likely need to ascend and descend the steps into/out of the bus. One of the (free) shuttles at Sitka can accommodate wheeled devices. The train can as well, in the accessible car, with a reservation.,

The Academiia is probably more wheelchair friendly in itself, but largely because it is smaller. Getting to the Ufizzi was much eaiser. We took the ship’s bus to Florence and, as a group, walked about 1/2 mile into the city center. The Ufizzi was right there. We guessed (right) on a very accessible city minibus, on a one-way street, and had enough Italian in us to validate with the driver that the bus did go to David and he’d tell us when to get off. We rolled back to City Center after our visit. And yes, we visited both. I had set up an executive tour at the Ufizzi so had a guide who helped us through (in English). We’d done our homework and had lined up tickets for both locations in advance- no waiting on any lines We even had rime for a quick lunch in the Ufizzi’s upstairs cafe.

For pool/spa use, no. For laundry, highly irregularly. My guess is that they MAY offer a discount based on capacity. If they are still having staffing issues, they may very well be assigning staff to other duties.
