Traveling with Special Needs

The cruise travel industry has become very accommodating when it comes to a traveler’s dietary, medical and accessibility needs.  Do you follow a sugar free, gluten free or low sodium diet?  Most cruise lines will go out of their way to adapt menu items to meet your needs. Need refrigeration for your insulin?  The cruise line will provide you with a mini-fridge in your stateroom.  Have trouble walking up the gangway but no problem once on board?  Most major cruise lines will provide you with wheelchair assistance at the dock.  Need distilled water for your CPAP machine?  No problem – with advanced notice, the cruise line will have distilled water available for you.

But what if you require special equipment on a more regular basis – equipment that would be unwieldy to transport on your own?

We work with two companies who are dedicated to fulfilling the special needs requirements of folks who want to travel but may need mobility aids, oxygen or other equipment. Their goal is to make travel easy, comfortable and accessible and they have partnered with most of the major cruise lines to help streamline the process.

These companies provide a broad range of equipment including wheelchair, power chair and scooter rentals, oxygen units and oxygen rentals, audio and visual aid rentals, baby crib rentals and other essential items. For your convenience, the rental equipment is delivered directly to your stateroom.

Just Cruises Plus is a full service travel agency and we are happy to coordinate these services for you.  If you do have any special needs, just be sure to let us know early on so that we can secure the special services or equipment that you need in advance of the trip.
