Frequently Asked Questions

1. Oxygen Supply:
We will make arrangements for your oxygen traveling supplies guided by
the medical information provided by you and your physician. The additional cost is for your supplies only,
we do not charge a fee for making your oxygen travel arrangements. Costs will be determined on an individual basis.

2. Pre-Cruise Overnights:
We urge all of our travelers to take the extra night package before your cruise
so that we may all get to know each other and be sure everything is ready for the big day.

3. Insurance:
Our carrier, Access America, provides coverage for 'pre-existing conditions' if coverage
is purchased at the time of deposit and you have been in stable condition for the 120 days prior to your deposit.
-
4. Respiratory Therapists:
Our RTs will be along on each cruise to provide support and encouragement.
We will hold group meetings while on the cruise to discuss new developments in respiratory care and equipment and share ideas.
The RT's will be present in a supportive sense but by law cannot perform treatments. If you need
assistance in your daily living, we highly recommend that you bring along a support person. Emergency medical treatment
is available by the cruise line medical staff.

Portable oxygen concentrators have greatly eased the burden of air travel with oxygen. Our Respiratory therapists will advise
you every step of the way in obtaining the best flight and the best equipment suited for your needs.
