Royal Caribbean's accessibility policy

Want to cruise or wondering if it will suit your disability requirements?

Cruising with Royal Caribbean is a great holiday choice for disabled passengers thanks to a wide range of onboard accessibility features, including disabled-adapted cabins, accessible restaurants, accessible sun decks, and lifts throughout the ship – plus activities and shore excursions available to people of all abilities.

Royal Caribbean’s aim is to make all guests as comfortable as possible, both on and off the ship. The cruise ships have spacious corridors to accommodate 180-degree turns for wheelchairs, most decks are accessible through automatic doors and all public rooms feature entrances with gradual inclines.

Royal Caribbean provide complimentary wheelchair assistance for embarkation and disembarkation. Guests who would like the use of a wheelchair or scooter for the duration of their cruise are welcome to bring their own onboard or hire one from an outside vendor.

Royal Caribbean also welcome guests with cognitive, intellectual and development disabilities such as autism, cerebral palsy, Down’s syndrome and Alzheimer's disease. However, under these circumstances, the guest must be travelling with someone who is fully able to assist them throughout the duration of their holiday.

Please note: guests who normally have a carer but are not travelling with them must be fully self-sufficient or be travelling with someone who can assist them with their daily needs that are normally performed by a carer.

Hearing disabilities
There have been many technological advances developed to assist guests who are deaf or hard of hearing, and Royal Caribbean have made every attempt to employ them wherever and whenever possible. There’s no reason everyone can’t enjoy a Royal Caribbean cruise vacation to the fullest.

Features/accommodation available:

  • A portable room kit in your stateroom is available upon request. It includes a visual-tactile alert system that provides alerts for door knocking, telephone ringing, alarm clock and smoke detector
  • A TTY (teletypewriter) in your stateroom is available upon request. The TTY in your stateroom interfaces with the TTY at the Guest Relations Desk to meet all your in-stateroom needs
  • Amplified telephones are available in the staterooms and public areas
  • Assistive Listening Systems are located in the main theatre on all ships and in Studio B on Voyager, Freedom and Oasis class ships
  • Closed-captioned televisions are available in all staterooms across the fleet

Please note that only select programmes are captioned. All safety videos are captioned.

Sign language interpreting services will be provided upon request for deaf guests who use American Sign Language (ASL) as their primary means of communication. Sign language interpreting services are provided for main production shows, port and shopping presentations and other major activities on a shared basis for all deaf guests onboard. A request for sign language interpreting services should be made with the Special Services Department at the time of booking but no later than 60 days prior to sailing. Requests are subject to availability of interpreters.

Please note: sign language interpreting services are only provided on cruises that depart from and/or return to the U.S. and Canada.
