Mobility Scooter

[mrsihopes]

We are going to Alaska out of San Pedro in April. I would like to bring my mobility scooter to use when we are in ports in Alaska as I can not walk for an extended period of time with out my hip hurting. Does anyone know if I can put a luggage tag on my scooter, leave it with the porters and have it delivered to my state room? Any information would be appreciated.

You don't want to ride it onto the ship?

Ride it onto ship and ride it off when needed

No, just ride it on

You should ride your scooter right on to the ship. The ramps are a little steep but my husband goes in front of me and if he needs help I give a little push.

 

Do not give your scooter to the porters! They should not be responsible for getting your scooter on to the ship and if any damage should happen you would be without your scooter for the entire cruise.

 

I don't know what kind of scooter you have, but I hope you have checked that it will fit thru the doorway of the stateroom you have. You must keep your scooter inside your stateroom at all times when not using it, like at night when you are charging the battery.

Ok thank you everyone will ride it on.

It will fit through the stateroom door we already checked on that thanks for the info though appreciate it.

There are actual conditions when using scooter. Princess WILL NOT STORE when not using. You can not leave it unattended in any hall way. Scooter/wheelchairs MUST be kept in your cabin. As I recall the standard cabin door opening is 27", I may be wrong on actual width. I do know a standard scooter WILL NOT fit. Princess.com has entire page devoted to this subject

jlp20's info is good. Make sure you don't leave it unattended in the hallway. They get picky about that for safety.

Sorry, did some checking, actual door frame has opening of 23". However the door itself only opens 90 degrees, so thickness of the door has to be subtracted. 21" OR LESS IS THE REQUIREMENT.

We are planning on renting a scooter from Special Needs Group which is advertised on the Princess website.Has anyone used them in the past and will their most basic scooter fit through the doorway?Thanks for any info!

Our Go-Go Pride is 20" and as noted it fits. We can shoehorn it into the closet of a B category balcony cabin and out of the way.

As long as it's the one for 250lbs or less, I was told it would fit when we ordered from them last week.

My husband rents the largest scooter available. If you take the arms off as he does, because he doesn't need them, it fits through the 23" door.
