ZellaLamb Posted August 14, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2011 We are headed out soon for our first trip to Bermuda on RCCI. Does anyone have experience with using scooters there? (not the kind that everyone talks about being a problem on the wrong side of the road, but mobility scooters). We would love to go to the beach and I would love to get a tour of the island.

jackretired Posted August 14, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2011 There are a number of taxi companies and tour companies that can handle wheel chairs and power chairs. Would think they could handle a mobility scooter. Google to find them or write the local tourism office. Sand and mobility scooters do not go well togeather. I recommend a tour of at least 5 hours with your mobility scooter. Start at the ship and go all the way to St. George's then take they ferry back to the ship.

gram2trips Posted August 17, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 17, 2011 There is a beach we went to very near the cruise ship dock. U can ride the scooter to it on the paved sidewalk or path but as others have stated can't use it on the sand. If u can walk at all or use a cane u could make it work once u have ridden scooter there. There are tables & benches available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutmaster Posted August 19, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I just got back from Bermuda on the Celebrity Summit. I had a rental scooter and had no problem disembarking the ship in Dock Harbor. I even found a handicapped tour that accomatted the scooter,it was wonderful.

kitty9 Posted August 25, 2011 #6 Share Posted August 25, 2011 You have to have a beach wheelchair to actually access any beach. A scooter or regular wheelchair will get stuck. When you get on the ship, see if any of RCI's beach tours offer beach wheelchairs. I know they do on their private islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
