Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Keep checking daily. I need a fully accessible room for a wheelchair cruiser and they do pop up occasionally. Another hack that I've used is to figure out what cruise is 89 days out and see who didn't pay their balance which is due 90 days out.
  2. My teenagers loved walking around Lincoln Road. Tons of shops & restaurants.
  3. I just had my first denial on a casino rate. My cabin wasn't even free, just discounted. :(
  4. I am trying to figure out what time to have a car service pick up from the port after disembarking. Has anyone sailed recently? I am Diamond but also in a wheelchair so I was trying to figure out priority timing. Thank you
  5. I would highly recommend going to the dining room when you board the ship. It is usually open from 1-3pm so you can speak with the matrie'd and ask for a table/booth for 2. I would explain your reason and they will do their best to accommodate you. I usually have to change tables to accommodate a wheelchair. It may not happen on the first night but usually by the 2nd, we are good to go.
  6. Have you tried the SeaBand bracelet? I have used them on my daughter for years and it has been a game changer. They sell them in the drug stores or Amazon.
  7. They have lines outside according to your check-in appointment. When I went in June, they didn't enforce the times and I had the first available as a diamond passenger. Once you are inside, then they have a separate line for diamond & platinum. It was very disorganized and the outside port employees were very rude. Good Luck!
  8. I just sailed on the Sunshine last week and Carnival does NOT have the airport shuttles to the port. I actually got a referral from the Embassy Suites van driver. We had 4 people with a ton of luggage and 1 person in a wheelchair. We used Peter Li with Nandu Cab (his company) 843-330-6021. He was on time and a very clean 8 passenger van & he also has a minivan for smaller parties. I HIGHLY recommend him. He was easy to communicate with by phone & text.
  9. My daughter did this over the summer and they charged her for both trips at the beginning.
  10. The family member can transfer to a seat and I can collapse the wheelchair to be stored in the trunk. I am looking for a vehicle that will hold 5 adults, luggage & wheelchair from a hotel near the airport to the port. Thank you!
  11. I am coming to Charleston in November with a wheelchair family member. Does anyone know of a shuttle company that is ADA or has minivans? I am staying near the airport and looking for drop-off & pick up. Thank you so much for any recommendations.
  12. I have been using Girlie Transportation. She was featured on Channel 5 earlier this year and has been wonderful. I would reach out to her to see if she has any availability. Her name is LaKeeMora Orphe and her email is girlietransportation@gmail.com
  13. Was on the June 19th sailing. Once you get thru security, they do have a section for Diamond & Suites right by the door to go onboard. It was extremely disorganized from the beginning. They weren't checking appointment times and when I asked because I had a noon appointment, the lady told me "everyone sails at the same time" and "diamond doesn't mean crap to carnival out here". When I asked about what the point of the appointment time was she told me she didn't care and "no one is going to fire me". Very welcoming!
  14. I just disembarked on Saturday (June 25th). I didn't see any taxis waiting in the pick up area. Plenty of people were waiting on ubers. I did see 2 Academy buses that honestly I thought was from Carnival. I did notice KD Elite Transportation had a couple of vans picking up people. I had arranged a private shuttle but I was going back to Montgomery County not the airport. Uber would be my recommendation especially since it is so difficult to plan your time.
