I went on a cruise last September. It was the Triump. My travel agent worked with the cruise line and when I arrived at the dock a wheel chair was waiting for me. They pushed me to the front of a very long line and all the way to my room. It is a very long walk so I do advise this. You can rent wheelchairs on the ship. I packed all of my medical supplies in one suitcase and lamenated a red cross tag for the out side.My doctor gave me a letter explaining the LVAD. When I visited the beach I wore the water proof shower bag. Everyone on the ship were extremely helpful.
Staschia or anyone out there who cruises did you purchase any additional insurance for the cruise other than the one they offer? God forbid there needs to be an airlift to a hospital for any complications while on a cruise to the nearest LVAD center which is in Miami Florida...

Wed, 08/21/2013 - 8:08PMDoes anyone know what kind of electricity adaptor plugs are needed for cruise and train trips?
Once I saw a patron in a luggage store purchase a plug for his cruise, but I don't know what he needed it for.
Thanks.
