watertraveler Posted March 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Does anyone have information on how to rent a scooter? We'll be sailing from Vancouver in June. Im on hold with RCCL to see if they offer scooter rental directly from the cruise line and protocols for using a scooter once onboard. Thank you for any assistance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph2017China Posted March 2, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 2, 2022 3 rentals equal the price of one scooter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadaboutgal Posted March 2, 2022 #3 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Call Royal's Special Needs. They can tell you of the rental options. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but given what airlines to do folks’ wheelchairs and scooters, safer for those flying in to rent. I am flying with my walker for the first time next month and am so anxious.

Maitaivegas Posted March 2, 2022 #5 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I have rented from ScootAround. I rented a walker and I will be reviewing it on 3/6 cruise on the Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rented a walker and I will be reviewing it on 3/6 cruise on the Oasis. My husband has rented a mobility scooter from Scootaround. They're very very good. We sail out of Pt. Canaveral mostly and they are there first thing in the am and text you the evening before and will even bring the mobility scooter to your vehicle or shuttle bus when you arrive. They're there when you disembark and again text you the night before and the morning of. We meet them at the same place and we drive the scooter to the shuttle and they take it away. All equipment was in good condition and never had a problem. They provide this service in many ports and hotels.

GJustice Posted March 3, 2022 #7 Share Posted March 3, 2022 We used ScootAround out of Galveston last year. Had them deliver to the stateroom and left it there when we disembarked. Wife used rollator between terminal and shuttle parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Neeny12 Posted March 3, 2022 #8 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I rented a rollator (walker). It was delivered to our cabin from specialneedsatsea.com They also do scooters. Depending on your cabin type, you may be able to store one in your cabin. We had a regular balcony cabin and it was ok for the folding walker but I don’t think a scooter would fit. I believe RC can assist you with boarding if needed. Good luck and have a lovely cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCCL allows two mobility rental companies on their ships to deliver equipment. Special Needs at Sea and Scootaround. We have rented from both numerous times. Check pricing with both companies. If you happen to rent from Scootaround, try this discount code from United Spinal for a 15% discount: USCRUISE Do you have an accessible stateroom? Scooters cannot be left in the hallways. See this: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/experience/accessible-cruising/mobility-disabilities RCCL will also want you to fill out their special needs form. If you have any port stops that require a tender, you probably cannot take the scooter on the tender. Take a look here and search for scooters. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/114-disabled-cruise-travel/ You will find many questions and answers from people who have actually used and rented scooters on a cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a regular balcony cabin on Independence OTS and the "standard" sized scooter fit just fine. We DID move the coffee table out on the balcony (steward's advice) to have room to get around it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
