Hello! I am looking at going on a cruise next year and have some questions about taking my service dog. I have flown with him before, but wondered if anyone could tell me what paperwork the cruiselines require to allow my service dog to accompany me.
Also, I should mention that he is a psychiatric service dog (NOT therapy dog), so I don't know if the requirements are different.
To address what some of the other posters were talking about, I get asked all the time what kind of service dog my fella is because I don't appear disabled. It's very uncomfortable because I don't really like revealing that he is a psychiatric service dog to strangers who invariably have no understanding of what that means. Does anyone have any tips for dealing with this?
