[searoses]

leave sunday and they called today to see if i would give it to another cruiser who thought they had an hc but did not. glad to know they went to the trouble and,hopefully,they will find one.

I'm really glad to hear that! Our cruise is in just over a week and there were no HA cabins left. I'm guessing Royal Caribbean doesn't make this type of phone call . . .

I can tell you most cruise lines don't question me when I book a HC room. As a disabled person it is disheartening to me that the cruise lines just let anyone book these rooms. Disney is the only line that required a medical form from my doctor when I booked. I have been on 4 other lines and none of them required this. I wish all the lines would make an effort to verify that the person booking the HC cabin has a legitimate reason for doing so.

Unfoirtunately if they all required you to submit Medical Proof, many people would then complain about the Cost & Effort it took. They would also whine they were being denied service because of this effort & cost.

 

While I agree with you about I wish there was a way to keep Non-HC from booking these cabins when people with real needs have to have them & prevents them sometimes from going. There is no Easy Solution. The only thing I can believe is that those that LIE about their need & think they are so slick because of it will get what is coming to them one day. KARMA is a B****.

Not to mention that the cruise lines would probably be violating the HIPAA Privacy Act.
