  1. Hi,

     

    I have one of the original Travelscoots which I love - I just found out that Hardy is now making the mark II which you have, however, the website doeas not feature the new model. Three questions though, how much, how heavy, compared to the original and will my original Lithium battery fit the new machine. I have contacted Hardy but all he says is yes the new model has reverse and has much better breaks. Therefore, I would appreciate any further information you have on the new baby - thanks

     

    Please contact me if possible direct to my email address outlined in my signature below

     

    Thank you so much

     

    Paul

     

    The plugs on the two batteries are different, so unless you can get the right plug, and know someone who knows what they're doing, to switch plugs, then I'd say no. :rolleyes:

  2. OP is from the US and is asking about US Medicare. Sometimes there is no need to go into the hundreds of other possibilities as this just mucks up the issue. She did not ask for the names of every single "Medicare" plan in the world.

    But, thanks for the update.

     

    Originally nationality was not mentioned!! :D

     

    Cato :)

  3. Medicare only would cover OP if she was from the US. It's a US program.

     

     

    Medicare, can be any social medical care program, which is government administered, the basic term is used in many languishes, in many countries, having socialized medicine. :rolleyes:

  4. Could someone please explain about whether our Medicare insurance would cover us while in Europe? I've seen 2 posts on CC that mentioned it as an aside, with no explanation. If that's the case, does trip insurance offer health coverage?

     

    You don't mention which country you're from, USA, Canada or what!! :confused:

     

    Cato :)

  5. We will be traveling with 2 scooters from London to Southampton and need to know which is the best way to get to the ship. We would like to spend about 4 days in London prior to our cruise.

    Suggestions very much appreciated.

  6. Yes leave the auto tip in place.... In reality it is like Port charges and Tax its one amount that can be considered part of the cruise fare. Princess does this to make the advertised price the lowest possible. Like buying a car you pay the list price doesn't not include tax, trans,licence, delivery etc....

     

    And yes, if you pull the auto tip you get flagged and your service staff ALL know about it.

     

    And still get the great service!! :confused: :D

  7. I'd like to stay near Nyhavn for a day pre-cruise, but the hotels in that area don't seem to get great reviews. I'm considering Scandic Front, Admiral, Phoenix, Hotel Neptun. I want to be close to the canal cruise and also a short walk to Amalienborg. Any suggestions which would be the best choice?

     

    You might try "booking.com" ! ;)

  8. We are 8 adults staying in Copenhagen for 3 days before our ship leaves on June 17th. We booked 2 Airbnb apartments in the same building in the Indre By area of downtown.

     

    I'm trying to figure out what is the best way to travel to the ship. We are going to have a good amount of luggage - one carry-on per person plus at least a few checked bags.

     

    Does anyone of a company that provides a large van or mini-bus that could fit all of us with luggage?

     

    Try this website, it's one that's printed in English. :D

  9. I think only OBC given by the cruiseline (not your travel agent) shows up in the personalizer. If you have booked directly with Princess and have some extra perks I would have them send an e-mail stating this. Then print that out and take it onboard with you.

     

    Happy cruising!

     

    Wrong, our travel agents gift OBC shows on our personalizer, on every cruise :D

  10. We are leaving Houston on 2/1/15 on Emerald Princess. Our hotel doesn't provide shuttle service and recommended Travel Zone:mad:

    Arrangements were made. There were a total of 8 at this hotel and we got together through CC and booked a van. We had all contacted Travel Zone:mad: by the first of the year and were confirmed.

     

    On 1/27/15 got an email from Travel Zone that all shuttles are cancelled from Jan 30 to Feb 23. No explanation...just cancelled.

    One of the members of our group called and asked "why?", the response was that they are "overbooked". For a MONTH!!???:mad:

     

    Another member of our group called and was told that Travel Zone:mad: is no longer servicing the Bayport area.

     

    We scrambled and made other arrangements. Today got a phone call from Travel Zone:mad:. "We now have a vehicle available, would you like to reschedule?" They must be joking!!!

     

    Which is it Travel Zone?? Are you overbooked? Or are you pulling out of Bayport?

     

    Suggestion: don't use Travel Zone!!!!!

     

     

    Your suggestion is right on

  11. Yes to be precisely its Skagerrak and Kattegat but I didn´t think that anyone would know these names so that is the reason I said The North Sea and The Baltic Sea.

     

     

    Sorry if I confused anyone.

     

     

    Also the North Sea is known as Vester Havet (Western Ocean) in Denmark.

     

    I know this, as I was raised in Denmark during WWII, first 7.5 years of school were there, my father is from Nykøbing Mors, my mother is from Marie Magdelene.

  12. Well the point is that it is another ocean (if that is the correct term)

     

    But it doesn't change the fact that you can stand on both the North Sea and Kattegat at once. :D

     

    Don't you mean "Skagerrak" and "Kattegatt, where you see two ocean currents collide, creating a spectacular sight, as the two currents, both traveling north, one on the east side of Jylland (Jutland) and on the west side, meet. :confused: :rolleyes:

  14. I don't know what I did wrong before but it now works and so simple. Thank you for your help. We live close to Ottawa in Gatineau, Quebec. I had e-mailed you last year with questions about your Travelscoot and was going to buy your old one but someone had already bought it. Glad I got the latest version with reverse etc. Thanks again for your info.

     

    Wendy

     

    I'm sorry to say, I think it was the dealer in Victoria BC, the only dealer in Canada, that you emailed, they had my old one on consignment, but the lady that had a deposit on it, backed out. :eek:

     

    So now my daughter has it at their place, trying to sell it. :rolleyes:

  15. None on Princess either. I dont think any of the major lines have had them for several years. They had time to raise the fares to take the higher oil into account.

     

    In 2008, when we took our first cruise on the Coral. there was a threat of a fuel surcharge, by Princess, but it never materialized. :D

     

    Cato. :)

  16. I can't really bring a cable flying International due to the weight restriction. I'll give Princess and my travel agent a call. Thanks for your comments.

     

    if anyone knows different please post and let me know.

     

    I'm able to pack extension cord and power bar in my CPAP carrying case, and carry it on flight as medical carry-on, as you should never take the machine as checked baggage. ;)

  17. Hi Cato,

     

    I know you have a Travelscoot and as you know I bought the latest model. I really enjoy it but I have had great difficulty to put on the parking brake. I don't want to break anything - the manual says to put on the regular brake and push down on the parking brake but when I do that it does not seem to engage the parking brake. (One time the parking brake was on when it came off the plane so I know it does work). Any advice? Thanks.

     

    Wendy

     

    Hi Wendy: First, what part of the world are you from?

     

    Second:

     

    The TravelScoot is equipped with two independent band brakes, one on each

    rear wheel. Both brake levers are equipped with a parking brake. To engage,

    apply the brake lever and depress parking brake lever (the little black lever on the inside of the hand brake lever) until it locks the hand

    brake lever in position. To release, simply apply the brake lever again.

    ____________________________________________________________

     

    Third:

     

    The parking brake lock is the little black lever, on the inside of the hand brake lever (closest to the steering column).

     

    You squeeze one hand brake as hard as you can with one hand. then set the parking brake lock with the other hand, then do the same with the other brake.

     

    I carry my scooter in the back of my Dodge Minivan, I lift it in, back wheels first, butt them against a piece of 2x4, to keep it from rolling forward in The car, as the brakes sdon’t hold so good when the scooter move rearward, then I set the parking brakes as described before, one at the time, This should hold the scooter solid, even when slamming on the car bakes in an emergency.

     

    I hope this helps, if not send me an email <catolga28@shaw.ca>

  19. There are other allergies than food. Over the last few years, I developed an allergy to scented materials, like scented cleaning materials, perfumes and flowers, not only that, I also lost my sense of smell, so if there are someone, and there are many, that douse themselves in perfume, I have to depend on my DW to worn me. :eek:

    Prior to a cruise I email customer relations, regarding scented cleaning materials in our cabin, and the staff do their best, although they can’t eliminate the scents completely, as it’s there from constant use. I’ve just learned to lots of tissues on hand, and a bucket beside the bed!!! :D

  20. We are going on a Regal Princess Baltic cruise. My husband has MS and will be renting a portable mobility scooter. He can walk very short distances with a cane/forearm crutch and climb several stairs. I'm trying to convince him that we should also bring or rent a folding wheelchair for back-up in the various ports, but he thinks it will just be an unnecessary expense/burden. What do you all think? (Since he can only walk for brief time periods, a walker wouldn't help.) For Stockholm, we will be docking at Nynashamn, a tender port, rather than close to the city. Looks like we can't take the assembled scooter into the tender, but I'm wondering if staff would help carry the pieces of the disassembled scooter onto the tender. Princess says "Princess staff will make every effort to assist but are not allowed to individually physically lift more than 50 pounds." Each piece of the scooter is under that weight limit - do you think staff would help? Or, would a folding wheelchair make more sense? (He's thinking that if we can't board with a scooter, we could still get around the city without any mobility aids, via taxi, borrowing wheelchairs at museums, and spending time sitting in cafes/restaurants, etc.) I"m not so sure, and are there other ports where a folding wheelchair would be helpful? Also, would staff forbid him from boarding the tender if he walks slowly with the crutch? Thanks!!

     

    Of course, I don't know how much time you have to do any planning, but from my own experience, I use a "TravelScoot II", it's light weight (35 lbs).

    I use it for just about everything, shopping, traveling by air, cruising.

    if you have the time, and want to look into it, Google "Tavelscoot.com", and you'll find all the information you'd want, including where the dealers close to you may be found. ;)
