Hi all! We're set to sail on the Treasure on March 15, 2025. We're DCL veterans but we're bringing my mother-in-law with us for her first ever (!!) cruise. She has mobility issues so we've already booked her an accessible cabin and now are looking into renting a scooter for her. Any recommendations on agencies that work well with DCL? Ones that deliver to/pick up from Disney's terminal at Port Canaveral? She called ScootAround and they said they could deliver to "pier 1" at Port Canaveral or to our hotel the day before? Any thoughts on ScootAround?

Thanks so much!!
 
Special Needs at Sea or Scoot-a-round. We've gotten great response from Special Needs on our last couple cruises, Scoot-a-round used to be our go to, but I think their customer service has gone down a couple notches.

DCL uses Terminal 8 not 1.

Thanks! And is it standard that the rental is delivered to your hotel in advance? Where do you then return it after the cruise?
 
No, a hotel delivery is not the standard, usually they have it in your cabin on the ship and that is where you leave it. We did a hotel delivery in San Diego with Scoot-a-round, which was an extra charge, then we just left it in our cabin on the ship.
 
Thanks! And what’s the plan for embarkation day? Are there regular wheelchairs available at the terminal until she can get to her stateroom?
 
Will she be bringing her own mobility device? If not and she’ll need assistance in the terminal and boarding, be sure to inform DCL.

ETA you may want to plan your arrival to be closer to 1:30-2:00pm when guests can access staterooms. Or see if DCL allows the rental delivery to a more accessible location if arriving/boarding earlier.

we're in the same situation - treasure in april 2025 and will need a scooter for my father. we have a accessible room at the rear of the ship. the rental companies deliver directly to the room rather than to the port? given the long walk to reach the cabin, we were hoping to have it for boarding....we can always have him sit in the lobby while one of us goes to the room and drives it back to him, but is there any company with an option for us to have it sooner? will the scooter definitely be in the room as soon as it is ready or is there a chance it wouldn't arrive until later (for example, we know luggage won't necessarily be there right away or even before dinner).

We have never "NOT" had the scooter in the cabin on time. You should be able to use a DCL wheelchair to get him to the cabin, and remember you have the same situation when you get off the ship.
