Sharps containers

[madibeme]

I never paid attention before but are their sharps containers in the rooms or is that a request directly to the cruise line? I am going on the escape in February and need to give myself a shot midweek. 

 

Thanks!

it is best to contact the access desk

 

call 1-866-584-9756 (voice), fax (305) 468-2171, send an email to accessdesk@ncl.com

There should be a sharpie container in your bathroom.  If not ask your Room steward for one.

Yes.

Take a quick look in the bathroom, perhaps a shelf/cabinet under the sink.

If you don't easily see one, then ask the steward, and he/she will either point it out to you in some semi-hidden place, or bring one to you.

 

NOT a problem these days!

There was one in ours on the last two cruises, Plus i think there were some in the public bathrooms as well.

Had one in our stateroom washroom on the Escape (12/09 sailing) and did observe them in many public washrooms as well. 

 

Happy cruising!

Do not call the access desk

 

Most cabins have them in when you embark. Otherwise ask your room steward for one. If it a single shot, then the public sharps containes would be fine.

Usually one is somewhere under the sink. If you can't find it ask your steward.

NCL  now has them stocked in every cabin.  BUT,  if you are only using one syringe during your cruise,  I'd suggest you just go to the Medical Center,  and inject there,  using their sharps containers?    A single use would be simple.   

 

Conserves supplies and disposal.    Consider not being wasteful.   :)

Just be aware that the Medical Center may charge you an "observation fee".  They may not allow you to inject yourself in the their waiting room because of liability and the fee is for the staff to make sure you don't have a reaction in their space.....  my daughter's college infirmary charges $25 for self-administered shots if done there.

If you use needles, then they will give you a small sharps container....simply ask.

mom had one in her cabin on the Getaway last week, and we didn't. Funny, because mom didn't even recognize it for what it was....

Just throw the used syringe on one of the many used room service trays that are always left out in the hallway.

Used needles are a biohazard and should be disposed of in a proper container. Each and every piece of trash is hand sorted in the Environmental room and you don’t want to get stuck with a discarded needle. 

 

For or a single shot during a cruise, the ships container in the public loo can be used

I leave mine in the buffet.

seriously? why?

A red box (see left side of photo) usually on a shelf in the bathroom in various sizes, depending on the cabin.  I have always found one in the cabin, although I haven't needed or requested it.  The advice to call the access desk to be certain, is good advice - they're very helpful.  Enjoy your cruise.

I hope both these comments are from someone,  attempting to be funny???  (which it isn't)    Absolutely-   Neither of these should ever be done.

You'll have no problem.  If a sharps container isn't in your cabin, your cabin steward will be glad to bring you one.
