  • Thank you ‪@princesscruises‬ for being a great partner letting me experience a trip of a lifetime! Watch along as I set sail with my mobility scooter from Seattle to Alaska, and back! I'm so excited to have gotten footage of my experience sailing on the Royal Princess to share the accessibility of the ship for mobility scooter/wheelchair users - especially how I got onto a tender boat with Scootz. Alaska was so beautiful, I felt like I was in a postcard the whole trip! A trip definitely worth taking and feeling the Princess love from the crew.
    VISIT THIS LINK TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SHIP - c8.io/FqcaN1
    Highlights include:
    0:52 - accessible stateroom tour
    5:27 - getting off the ship in Alaska with a mobility scooter
    7:49 - OceanMedallion explained
    8:53 - getting off the ship using a tender boat with a mobility scooter
    12:23 - Glacier Bay National Park
    17:48 - accessible bathrooms on the ship
    18:47 - closing remarks/recap of highlights and disembarkation

    I've wanted to take that cruise but due to physical challenges I've been hesitant. Watching you get around on your scooter gave me the realization that I could use my mobility chair to enjoy the excursion too

    Chelsea, I'm so glad you had the opportunity to go on this cruise. Charlotte (my wife) and I have thought about an Alaskan cruise, but being retired it's a little above our vacation budget, ha! I love your constant smile. Steve.

    So glad you had a great time! I love how accommodating the cruise line seemed to be. I've been on 8 cruises in my life so far, and the debarkation process is always the worst part, not just because vacation is over but because it's typically chaotic.

    I’m 45, born with Spina Bifida and use a wheelchair full time. I love to travel and working for a major airline helps that ability. Lol. I’ve been on about a dozen cruises (mostly on Princess), twice to Alaska. About half of them have been solo. I am cruising to the Panama Canal in November and cannot wait!

    thats really interesting with the balcony. never thought about accessibility on a cruise. good to know others did think about these things. sisters in a chair due to ms and cruises with the whole family have been a fairly regular thing every couple of years, but the last one was before she was chair bound. nice to know if we want to do another it may be much easier for her.

    Recently went on a family cruise to the Bahamas and needed to rent a mobility scooter due to severe arthritic conditions. Couldn’t have did it if not for the scooter and it was a godsend. I didn’t need a handicapped room but being able to get around the large cruise ship on the scooter made what would have been a definite hardship a real pleasure! Thanks for making videos such as this to show people that travel is doable even for the disabled! Where there’s a will there’s a way! 😘

    Alaska, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful places on earth.
    Looks like you had an awesome time. I am truly impressed at how you never seem to back down from a challenge. That is a testament your character. You have a beautiful smile and a dynamite personality.
    I really love watching your videos. You should be very proud of yourself, and I hope you know you are an inspiration to many folks.
    There are multitudes of people that could learn from your attitude. Keep up the great work young lady.
    God bless you and yours. Stay safe on your travels, keep smiling, and take life headon.

    I did an Alaska cruise more than 20 years ago and had a blast. I did two shore excursions. In Juneau we did the Mendenhall Glacier rafting tour and it was fun. In Ketchikan, we did a canoe tour. We did not do any shore excursions in Skagway.

    Chelsea, you are a truly beautiful person. I loved watching your voyage aboard the cruise ship. Experiencing this journey through your eyes is truly enchanting. I'm certain that even if I had been on that ship, setting sail for Alaska, my experience wouldn't have been as profound as witnessing you live it.

      I’m so glad I saw this video. I’m a soon to be 60 year old living with CP and going on my first cruise soon and was so nerves of the little things that always go through our heads about steps, no hand rails and how they can stop us from joining in. I have a mobility scooter I call Mable and was not going to take her on the cruise I was just going to take my frame, I may now reconsider this. Did you need to do any pre check with the cruise line before taking scoots on board. I have heard the batteries can be an issue. Love from Australia 🇦🇺 keep the videos coming.

    You are a brave woman, they go on a girl. Go for it, you'll have a good time and a cruise. You'll enjoyed life you're on enjoying life. Wait, wait, you got it, and you're doing a good job. Nothing will stop you and II wish a lot of luck and keep up the good work. You got your health all you can use. Keep on walking, don't give up, keep on plugging, keep on fight. You could do anything that you put your mind to. There's nothing that you can't do out do it. Have a good holiday holiday or cruise? Have a nice cruise, enjoy yourself. Because when you get back to home, you have to pay bills. And you gotta get back to nature everyday. So I buy a vitamin on a ship. Take away from the bills and you get. Although relation and things is away from your mind that you're worrying about this way. You enjoy it, I went on a cruise with my mother and we enjoyed it. We went on a Croatian Caribbean. Twice on 2 ships rent a centimeter so OK Brenda saint Thomas saint thomat the same time as we're going to Hawaii for 12 days. That's the next cruise you gotta joy, Hawaii much just need to enjoy that cruise line on there. I wish you had a good time my name is William Smith. I'm a fan of yours and I wish a lot of block and I wish you a good health

    You should plan a return trip in the future. But take the cruise that docks in Seward, and then takes the train up the inside passage. Go in June, for the midnight sun. Or, my recommendation, Sept for the Northern Lights. I've done 4 seasons working in AK, Denali and Talkeetna. I wish you the best.
