If handicapped or pregnant in Cruise ships
If you have a physical limitation, the cruise line can usually help...especially if notified in-advance. Without sacrificing personal privacy, use your agent (or directly if no agent involved) to let them know about your needs and when they apply, e.g.,:
Help with the significant walking distances to embark and dis-embark (processs discussed below), or to go on port visits.
If you purchase a fly/cruise or cruise-extension package (also discussed below), what other help you'll need.
A cruise can place you some distance from proper pre-natal care and birthing facilities, especially advanced medical care. If you have any complication, or might be well-into your third-trimester during a cruise under consideration, consult your doctor. Then inform the cruise-line, through your agent if used. A note of fitness for travel from him/her can assuage the fears of the line, and staff as you go through embarkation processing.
Many cruise lines will in fact not permit you to cruise once you reach a certain point in your pregnancy (similar to the airlines). Check this with your travel agent as you might be denied boarding upon arrival to the pier if you are too far along with your pregnancy.
