BonnieD Posted April 24, 2011 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2011 My husband is disabled and we sail on the Enchantment in August. I am wondering if I can drop our luggage and then drop him and then park? Do I take him to where we park? Is there a shuttle to the ship from the parking area? Will anyone there help us as it is just the 2 of us. I appreciate any suggestions, info, etc. Bonnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterpeake Posted April 25, 2011 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Bonnie, Passengers can enter the terminal directly from the luggage dropoff area. I suggest this: when they meet you just after you enter the gate, tell them you have a luggage and passenger dropoff. They will give you an 8 /1/2 X 11 sheet of orange paper and direct you to the dropoff. After you drop off your husband and luggage, circle around to the gate area again and this time tell them you wish to park for the duration of the cruise. They will give you a different color paper and direct you to the self parking line. It won't be a long walk from there to the terminal to rejoin your husband.

patseacruiser Posted April 25, 2011 #3 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I was just there 2 weeks ago. As you enter the lot you tell them you are parking and they give you a piece of paper that says 'parking'. You continue on to park you pass the luggage drop off. The baggage handlers will take the luggage from your car and then you simply proceed to parking. They will take your payment and then direct you where to park. If your husband is in a wheel chair, push him into the terminal where you go through the scanner, continue to check in and an employee will take him to push him the rest of the way. I found the new gangway quite steep so let the employees push him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonnieD Posted April 25, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Thanks to both of you for the info. It doesn't sound like it will be too hard. I read on another post on CC that those in wheelchairs board on Deck 1, the cargo deck and do not have to get up that steep boarding ramp. I hope that is correct.

NeedAVacationNow Posted April 26, 2011 #5 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Bonnie, I contacted the Special Needs Dept. for a wheelchair for my mom for embarkation at special_needs@rccl.com and they were very accommodating. They would probably appreciate a heads up even if you have your own wheelchair, and can answer any specific questions you may have. Enjoy your cruise! Tracy B.
