cruisekitty22 Posted March 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2023 We are booked on the Escape for April 30- May 7, 2023 and we are both seniors over 65. We want to rent a scooter for each of us. Anyone do this? Is one scooter ok for the both of us to rent instead? We want to rent from the ship directly and not an outside company or should we book from the website now? Should we wait until we are on board the ship to do the rental? Which is cheaper the ship or scoot around? What is everyone's experience with this?

Should answer all your questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooters need to be stored in your room and not left blocking halls. Two scooters in a room may be tight. I am not aware of any NCL scooter rentals. I thought that you had to book scooters through a 3rd party vendor, in advance, who would deliver them to the ship. https://www.ncl.com/about/accessible-cruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1025cruise Posted March 26, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2023 The ship does not rent scooters. There are third party companies contracted to provide scooter rentals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramblin and Gamblin Posted March 27, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 27, 2023 As others have said, NCL does not rent scooters. You will have to rent via their third party partner Scootaround. The contact info is on the accessible cruising page others have linked to. You will need to reserve your scooters in advance; you cannot rent after you board. In addition, I suggest reserving the scooter far in advance. You don't want to risk their running out of inventory for a given week. I highly recommend reserving an accessible room when using a scooter. As BirdTravels notes, you cannot leave the scooter in the hallway. An accessible room is much easier to drive your scooter into thanks to the wider, automatic opening doors. CruiseCritic forums have an Accessible Cruising section as well. You can get a lot of advice from the people that post there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
