How to tell the cruise line

Guests fill out the online Accessibility & Medical Questionnaire or call the Access Desk at 866.584.9756, at least 90 days before sailing for sign language interpreters and at least 45 days for other needs. An Accessibility Coordinator then contacts the guest. Per cruise line

Wheelchairs & scooters

Guests can bring their own wheelchair or scooter, or rent from NCL's preferred vendor Scootaround when sailing from a U.S. port. In a standard (non-accessible) stateroom the device must be no wider than 26 inches to fit the door, all devices must be stored in the stateroom, and accessible staterooms have wider doors, roll-in showers and grab bars. Per cruise line

Blind / low vision, deaf / hard of hearing

For blind or low-vision guests NCL offers a ship orientation tour on request, braille/tactile signage and an embarkation-day meeting with a staff member. For deaf or hard-of-hearing guests there are visual-tactile alert kits, pagers, TTY phones, assistive listening in the main theater, closed captioning, and ASL interpreters on U.S. sailings if requested at least 90 days ahead. Per cruise line

Service animals

Only trained service dogs are allowed; emotional support dogs cannot sail. Guests must book at least two weeks ahead and send current vaccination records (including rabies) and a USDA or international health certificate; a relief box is provided, and some ports (e.g. Jamaica, Iceland) restrict the dog going ashore. Per cruise line

Medical equipment & pregnancy

Guests can bring CPAP/BiPAP machines; NCL provides distilled water if requested at least 4 days before sailing, and guests should bring a roughly 6-foot extension cord without a surge protector. Guests cannot sail if they will have entered their 24th week of pregnancy by the end of the cruise. Per cruise line
