rangeley Posted November 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Has anyone ever rented a shower commode chair for a cruise? My husband just got a new chair and it doesn't fold up. We are leaving out of Miami on NCL. Any info would be appreciated. Cindy Sent from my Pixel XL using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted November 28, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 28, 2017 The ship can provide one if requested. Contact the special needs department, and it will be in the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokopelli-az Posted November 29, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 29, 2017 If you're asking about renting a wheelchair for the duration of the cruise, check with special needs at sea dot com. I believe they are the only rental company NCL will allow on board to deliver equipment. The wheelchair will be in your room after you board. NCL can provide wheelchair assistance the day you board and when you disembark. Let their special needs Dept know if you want this assistance. Also, from Special Needs if you are staying at a hotel they can deliver a rental chair to your hotel and you can leave it in your stateroom on the last day of the cruise.

Splinter Posted December 3, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Just be aware that the shower chair offered by the cruise line is a tub bench, usually without a back, and without a cut out or wheels, so cannot also be used over the toilet. You can rent a rolling shower/commode chair from the same company mention above, but it won't be cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any info would be appreciated.Cindy Sent from my Pixel XL using Forums mobile app RE: Wheelchair - as previously posted NCL only has one approved rental vendor. http://www.SpecialNeedsatSea.com. RE: Shower commode chair - The cruise line does not provide shower commonde chairs. NCL only provides a shower chair free of charge. If you are wanting a wheeled chair that doubles as a shower chair and toilet commode chair you'll have to rent it through http://www.SpecialneedsatSea.com. If you booked an accessible cabin it will have a fold down shower seat and you can request a toilet sea raiser through NCL's Special Needs Dept.

Splinter Posted December 18, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 18, 2017 The seats provided by the ship didn't work for my mother, so we invested in a travel shower commode chair, which worked both for the roll-in shower and over the toilet. The one we bought (on eBay) was a Chameleon (Italian made) but I know a lot of people who have ones made by Nuprodx or Go-Anywhere. No charge for checking these on the airlines, easy to use, and worth the purchase cost when used for a lot of travel vs. renting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangeley Posted December 19, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted December 19, 2017 We saw the seat on the one from special needs at sea and it looked horrible. I found another place that we could get the one we wanted but they are not allowed to bring it on the ship. I guess we are stuck lugging our own.

I didn't know that. That's interesting. We've been trying to figure out what we were going to do without a rolling shower chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DME is also NOT counted as part of your luggage allotment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
