Q | Are guests with disabilities required to have a companion to sail onboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship?

A | We do not require that a guest with a disability travel with another person as a condition for traveling on our ships. However, our personnel are not required to perform personal tasks (e.g. assisting with eating, dressing, toileting or lifting and therefore, guest requiring assistance with these functions should consider these needs when making a booking.)

Please see our full policy regarding Fitness to Travel Safely in our Guest Conduct Policy.

A | You can contact a Complaint Resolution Official (CRO) at all U.S. ports of departure and all ships address your disability related concerns.

They will be glad to assist you.

Q | Does Royal Caribbean provide Braille formatted material onboard the ship?

A | No, however we provide Qualified Readers onboard our ships for guests who are blind or have low vision. Select crewmembers have been trained as qualified readers to read written material such as the daily Cruise Compass and shore excursions information. Waiters will also read dining menus upon request. To request qualified readers for your cruise, please contact Guest Relations upon boarding.

Q | Are service animals allowed onboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship? What about emotional support animals?

A | Service Animals – Yes, we accept service animals on all our ships. Please see our Service Animal section for more details about our service animal policies.

Guests traveling with a service animal should contact Accessible Shore Excursions to review guidelines and arrange special accommodations on tours.

Emotional Support Animals – We’ve changed our policy on emotional support animals onboard our ships. Our policy now differentiates emotional support animals from service animals that are trained to perform a function for a person with a disability. Service animals will continue to be welcomed onboard for guests with disabilities. We will no longer have emotional support animals onboard.

Q | Are shore excursions wheelchair accessible?

A | Due to the historical nature of the sites and venues at some ports of call as well as the uneven terrain, inclines, steps to navigate and narrow sidewalks not all tours offer access to wheelchair/ scooters. Accessible tours are tours designed for full time wheelchair users or guests unable to negotiate motor-coach steps. They are available in certain ports based on the transportation we have been able to secure.

To better assist you please complete the Accessible Shore Excursions Form. Once the information is received we will be able to provide you with the applicable list of tour available for your sailing.

Guests who have a reservation with payment may also contact 1-800-398-9819 for Pre-Cruise Planning Assistance.
