Reply To: Finding a hotel that will accommodate mobility scooters
Hi! Yes, we are going through the same situation that you are. However, our scooter must come with us, because it is needed on the cruise ship since there is so much walking involved. I can walk short distances as long as I am able to stop for a bit. What I am going to try to do, is contact my Travel agent through my cruise line and see if the cruise line works with any of the hotels that might accept scooters. Then, I will need to find transportation that will accommodate the scooter. We a leaving next November. I hope that I am not working on this issue for the year.
