Experiencing exciting ports of call is a part of the Royal Caribbean cruise vacation. With our Shore & Land Excursion program, guests are able to choose from a wide variety of wonderful possibilities. While not every port of call may be amenable to wheelchair transportation, every effort will be made to accommodate our guests where possible. Our experienced staff can help you select tours that will best meet your needs.

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. On all of our ships, the medical facility is located on the "C" deck.
Airport Transportation
If requested in advance, Royal Caribbean 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. See a travel agent for details.
Extra Assistance at the Pier
Royal Caribbean International® offers boarding and departure assistance to guests with mobility impairments. Please request special assistance once you arrive at the pier or contact us prior to your cruise.
Special Equipment
Royal Caribbean has a variety of equipment available onboard, such as shower stools, bed extensions, raised toilet seats and transfer benches. Please contact us prior to boarding if interested.
Traveling from Ship to Shore
Occasionally, port facilities, congestion and weather make it impossible to berth our 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. Royal Caribbean 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 our guests and crew is always foremost in our mind and the decision to tender any guest is made by Royal Caribbean in each case. Tender status of all ports is subject to change without notice.
