No additional charge
Onboard Medical Services
Every Royal Caribbean ship offers limited professional medical
services - for a reasonable fee - through independently contracted,
licensed (international or domestic) physicians and nurses.
Dialysis*
Guests requiring continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis are welcome
to board all Royal Caribbean International® vessels. However, Royal
Caribbean does not have the ability to assist or administer
hemo-dialysis treatments. Those guests using peritoneal dialysis should
have all solutions and equipment needed to perform the dialysis
delivered to the vessel on the day of sailing at least two hours prior
to sailing. Please contact Alumni Cruises for more information on
policies, procedures and assistance in arranging your needs.
Oxygen*
All types of oxygen are permitted onboard, including compressed and
liquid. Please notify Alumni Cruises
as to quantity, type and delivery schedule. Each vessel has a different
storage policy; however, you will be able to keep some or all of your
cylinders in the stateroom. Please contact Alumni Cruises
for more information on policies, procedures and assistance in arranging
your needs.

Traveling from Ship to Shore
Occasionally, port facilities, congestion and weather make it
impossible to berth ships at a particular port of call, at which point
our ship will be anchored offshore and small boats (tenders) are used to
travel back and forth. The cruise line will make every attempt to
accommodate each guest at every port. However, at some tendered
ports, guests may find some difficulty in transferring from the ship to
the tender. The safety of the guests and crew is always foremost and the
decision to tender any guest is made by the cruise line in each case.
Tender status of all ports is subject to change without notice. Royal
Caribbean has begun the installation of lifts that will make the
tendering process for guests with mobility impairments smooth and
stress-free.
Airport Transportation
If requested in advance, we can arrange for lift-equipped
buses to transfer guests between the airport and the pier. This
service is offered at no extra charge to our air/sea guests or those who
have purchased cruise-only transfers.
Extra Assistance at the Pier
Royal Caribbean International® offers boarding and departure
assistance to guests with mobility impairments.
Note:
If you have another type of medical
condition that has not been mentioned, please inquire about policies and
procedures that may affect your cruise.
*Guests with medical impairments that require the
use of dialysis or oxygen should contact us to discuss policies and
procedures for bringing the appropriate equipment onboard.
