Handicap Questions Regal Galveston Embarkation

[cruisinsince75]

My wife and I have mobility scooters and will be cruising on the Regal in November out of Galveston.  Does anyone know if there is a separate security and boarding line for the disabled?  We will have our medallions and are green lane ready.  Also we are in an accessible MS on the Caribe deck by the mid ship elevators.  Will we be able to access our cabin as soon as they start boarding?  TIA

I have yet to see an embark port that did not have a lane for disabled folk.  But, I have not been to Galveston, so best listen to someone with first hand experience. 

 

Enjoy!

Yes.  All Princess ports have handicapped access.  Be aware tender ports often cannot handle mobility aid unless you can walk the ramp to tender

You want the "Grey Line" in the terminal, It is for passengers who need assistance.

Green Line, Blue Line and Grey Line. There are banners for each.

In Galveston I saw someone greet those in wheelchairs and take them to a table to check in on the left, then to the right hand lane. They will direct you.

I have only had to wait outside the terminal1 time out of Galveston and there was a small area for handicapped. (I swore to never again arrive before the terminal opened.) The other times, we arrived after the terminal doors opened and there was a handicapped line.  We have never had to wait inside the terminal - the lines moved quickly, and we immediately boarded after checking in.

Thanks!  See you in November, perhaps in the same line.  BTW, what time do they open the doors typically?

For our last two Galveston cruises, we have not arrived at the terminal until around 11AM and the doors are open. No one was waiting outside and the check in process was smooth. For our January 2024 cruise we parked around 9:45 AM and there was a line waiting for the doors to open.  We walked around town and returned around 11AM and were on the ship within 20 minutes.
