StevenLucia Posted April 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) We were starting to complete our on-line check-in today for a late April cruise. Quite surprised to discover that Carnival extended the ban on portable oxygen through the end of June. They had changed the policy effective 1 April to allow concentrators. Now I have to cancel this cruise. Just venting a bit since we've had so many cruises scheduled/cancelled/re-scheduled.

80sGal Posted April 11, 2022 #2 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I saw John Heald post an answer to someone in the last week or so that the concentrators were fine on board. I also saw the update on the Carnival page that you are referencing. They are completely conflicting. It's probably worth a call before you cancel.

Moviela Posted April 11, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Concentrators make the O2 as you breathe. Portable O2 is gas in a cylinder. It is the cylinder stored commodity that is currently not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenLucia Posted April 11, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Contacted their Special Needs department today. Portable concentrators are allowed. Their online documents regarding oxygen is indeed conflicting. If you select 'Oxygen Dependent' during an online check-in it will lock you out and tell you that you have to cancel. Best to contact the Special Needs department and let them set it all up for you so there aren't any issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
