Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 We are going on a cruise! I never dreamed in my wildest dreams we would take a cruise. We are boarding the Zuiderdam, in Fort Lauderdale Fl in Dec '07. I HATE, HATE, HATE flying but I'm going and I will not allow myself to spoil this once-in-a-lifetime event! We are going with daughter Lysa and her family. What fun! I've been poking around the internet looking at pictures of the ship and ports of call 'till my eyeballs turned inside out. PEGGY: are you near Ft. Lauderdale? If so, maybe we could meet. Now I have to call about 02.... Anyway, I sure am excited.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 forgot to add, we're in Oregon so have to fly to Fl to board the cruise. Sher OHMYGOSH-OHMYGOSH We are going on a cruise!

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 HOw Fun!!! I am so glad you are going on a cruise. You will have a blast! Let me know what you find out about O2. How are you going to work it on the cruise. My parents just booked a cruise to Alaska, but are worried about the O2 details. THanks, Cyndi (DAD PF 12.05)Sher K Bauman wrote: We are going on a cruise!

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Thanks for the information! What a bunch of work...we better get started! :-) My dad has apria as well...but is having trouble with their customer service right now. We are working on it. I look forward to hearing more about your trip and the planning stages. What a great time you are going to have. :-)CYndi (DAD PF 12.05)Sher K Bauman wrote: Cyndi. So far I'm still gathering info. Southwest Airlines (our preference) does not provide o2 onboard...so I can receive from Apria what's called "portable concentrator" and SWA allows that. OR I can fly an airline that does provide o2. Airlines do not allow o2 to be carried onboard and my portable tanks will be confiscated should I try. Apria (my o2 provider) will arrange to have what is necessary delivered to Holiday Inn in Ft. Lauderdale and I will carry o2 aboard the ship just like luggage. I think the best place for your dad to start is with his o2 provider.... I was told to get a wheelchair at the airport! YeGAds. I cannot use "my" o2 in the airport and can't walk some of those long concourses without o2. So a wheelchair is next. I'm not ready for a wheelchair but can't do anything about it. Give yourself plenty of time to coordinate the details. It does take time. I'm not through yet. There are many here who have already traveled with o2...this will be my first experience. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Cyndi..I don't know where you are, but my biggest hurdle is observing airline policy AND cruise policies. I cannot carry my o2 on airline but I CAN carry it on ship. Have to have a letter from Dr. too, did I say that? To order equipment from Apria to take onboard. Boy, I need a time out. I've been on this computer or the phone for hours and hours. Calgon, take me away. Sher ipf 5-06 Re: ! OHMYGOSH-OHMYGOSH HOw Fun!!! I am so glad you are going on a cruise. You will have a blast!
