Adventure Ocean Club - Medicine Policy?

[mdepsmom]

We are sailing on the Mariner on Sunday. Our 6-yo ds has asthma and we always leave an albuterol inhaler w/ the school nurse, camp office, etc., for use in emergencies. Does anyone have experience w/ this w/ the adventure ocean club on RCI (not this medicine specifically, obviously, but leaving any medications w/ them in general)? Wondering if they will accept/hold the inhaler or just how they handle that.

 

TIA. :)

Our middle son has asthma as well. On our first cruise they let us keep an inhaler for him at AO but on our second they told us no but if something happened they would take him to the infirmary and page us. Thank God, nothing has ever happened. I don't know if it's the fresh non polluted sea air or what but when we're on a cruise he's never needed his rescue inhaler.

I don't know of any cruiseline where the staff in the kid's club will administer medication. Usually, they will take your child to the infirmary and call/page you.

Their policy is not to administer any medications, the child has to be able to do it himself. If he needed it in an emergency situation, they would take him to the med center and page you.
