bcnvcanada Posted June 13, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I am hoping that someone will know the answer. Is there a special place to entered the cruise terminal for handicap people. We have ordered a wheelchair at the terminal. I will be coming by taxi and do not have the ability to stand more than a few minutes (5 ) at most. Would it be better to board the ship near departure? Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katisdale Posted June 13, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) There is a drop off space near the entrance with seats. It is outside. You wait there until a "pusher" is available. Even if you have your own chair you will need to wait for a pusher unless you have someone with you to do the pushing. I would either come early when the pushers first arrive on the scene or later when the rush of people needing pushers has abated. This works well if it is not raining. There is an attendant who will have a list of people who have requested assistance. Edited June 13, 2019 by katisdale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnywife Posted June 15, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Is there a sign so we know where to wait for wheelchair assistance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinter Posted June 18, 2019 #5 Share Posted June 18, 2019 The seats are right next to the entrance to the terminal. There is usually a staff person directing people right there, but there is also signage indicating that the seating is for those with mobility disabilities.

famski740 Posted June 19, 2019 #6 Share Posted June 19, 2019 As you are facing the terminal, the handicap assistance area is along the right side of the building. You will see a lot of people there but most of them will be departing passengers waiting for transportation. We always arrive between 10:00 and 10:30 am and they normally begin assisting passengers inside around 11:00 am. They will get you through security/check in and then take you upstairs to a special waiting room. The port person will leave you there at this point and you will wait for personnel from the ship to come and assist you on board. You will normally be allowed on board around 12:00 noon.
