I work in the school system and it's been a wild couple of weeks as school started up!<br />I had a blast on the cruise, but wouldn't have survived without the mobility scooter we brought along and the disabled-accessible room so that I could access the restroom and shower. John did finally respond, but it wasn't super helpful other than he told me who I should contact... click up a couple posts to see where I posted his response. <br />Good luck on your cruise!

I am also 500 lbs with limited mobility, and would really like to take a cruise.

I apologize if it is too soon to write again - but since I haven't heard from you and I'm really desperate for these answers so that I can have peace of mind and look forward to our cruise without fears and worries, I thought I'd try. <br /><br />My fiance and I will be sailing on Carnival Inspiration this coming July XX, 2013 (our Booking Number is XXXXXX) to Catalina Island and Ensenada and we are SO EXCITED! I seriously cannot tell you... It is our first "real" vacation together, AND our first cruise, AND our honeymoon all in one. (I have shared the Carnival Gifts link with my mom in hopes that she'll pass it around to family and friends, because I think it would just be SO DARN ROMANTIC to arrive to find flowers in the room, or receive a gift of champagne and strawberries, or whatnot!! :) )<br /><br />My questions are related to the fact that I am a very large lady (~500lbs - no need to publish this number but you may need it to answer my questions!) with some mobility issues and I want to be sure I've done whatever is needed to have a great vacation. I cannot walk more than a very short distance or stand for more than 3-5 minutes without extreme back pain. I will either rent or purchase a scooter before our cruise, and we have booked the fully accessible cabin for this reason. <br /><br />--I read a horror story about a larger woman on a mobility scooter breaking the gangplank and nearly falling into the gap between the ship and the dock. Can you calm my fears by sharing the weight limit of the gangplank on the Carnival Inspiration? <br />--Is there a weight limit on the toilets in the rooms? I see that they are wall-mounted rather than supported on the floor. Is this the same in the accessible cabins? I read one story where a self-identified "super sized BBW" woman expressed concerns about the toilet in her room and the staff were able to install a block under the toilet to support it. Is this something you've heard of? Can it be arranged ahead of time? <br />--Will it be possible to sit during the safety drill? I cannot stand comfortably for more than 2-3 minutes.<br />--Are there any other things that you've learned over the years that larger cruisers should anticipate/be prepared to do differently? <br /><br />Thanks in advance for your courteous attention, <br /><br />Amanda XxxxxAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05242305669026640917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849989066992833155.post-65387433999964938062013-02-21T04:00:09.645-08:002013-02-21T04:00:09.645-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Rina Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895036263655008102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849989066992833155.post-658026860828223932013-02-12T04:54:03.372-08:002013-02-12T04:54:03.372-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17412354083554248615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849989066992833155.post-80635557338347923372013-01-09T17:17:22.444-08:002013-01-09T17:17:22.444-08:00I can't wait to see what he answers back!I can't wait to see what he answers back!Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09658288067332712824noreply@blogger.com
