I raised this question on another NG, and I was advised to bring it here.

There's a cruise on the MSC Orchestra in February that I'd like to take,
with the following ports of call: Key West, Cozumel, Grand Cayman and
Cayo Levantado. The ship leaves from Ft. Lauderdale.

I'm wheelchair-bound, and I have no idea how feasible it is for someone
in a wheelchair to take a cruise. My sister warned me that even though
the ship claims to be wheelchair-accessible, the cabins would be
impossibly small for me to use.

I have called the cruise line, and was told that the accessible cabins
are 226 square feet in area, which would be roughly 15 x 15.

Also, tenders are used at Cayo Levantado.

Do any of you have any experience/knowledge of the particular ship, and
on taking cruises while in a wheelchair, and would be willing to share
it with me?

I appreciate any assistance.

may be of interest to this newsgroup as well.

Happy sailing...

Hello I was wondering if you can call someone on their cell phone
and would you get a connection say florida cruise to bahamas..actually
my brother and his family just took off monday He never bothered to tell
me he was going on vacation . He didnt even leave name of ship nor the
return date .

Would anyone know the most popular ship that cruises to bahamas
,I would like to google it and see the amenities ...Is there a phone
number to call to find someone on the ship n case of an emergency. Do
they give out infomation about passengers, since my mother is undergoing
cancer treatment I might have to get intouch with him .

Thankyou kindly , Mike

How far is it from the port in charleston s.c.to the airport? Is it
possible to get limo transportation from newark air port to moorestown
n.j? The air lines are starting to play games with us. pulled up our
reservations for our flight home from charleston. they only had us down
for flight from cleveland to phila. when we called they said they
cancelled all those flights,we finally got them to book us on a flight
from charleston to newark. but we are on our own from there. But the
were very nice and said they would give us a $25.00 voucher per person
for future travel on continental,which i doubt we would use,not to keen
on flying anymore.I would rather they credit my credit card with the
money.
Thanks to any one that can answer

A Google search for Oceania comments from this Group led to no hits. Has
anyone taken one of their cruises and have any comment on same?

Do you think they really read our comments that we leave in the cabin
about our cruise on their ship?
