Electric wheelchair hire

My wife and I are hoping to do a cruise on the Golden Princess around the Carribean next year. My wife has MS and we really require to hire an electric wheelchair at the port of San Juan, which hopefully could then be delivered to the ship. Without this happening, I think it will be impossible for us to embark on the cruise. We would be very gratefull if anyone knows of any Company that could help us. Any other wheelchair users out there with any general tips, we'd be glad to hear from you.

We rented an electric wheelchair for my husband using Carevacations.com. But we left out of Miami. It was in the room and all charged up when we got there. they only ask - that we leave it charged up when we left so they could get it off the ship. It couldn't hurt to check with Carevacations to see if San Juan is available too. They were a terrific company.

Hi Becky many thanks for your suggestion. I've sent off an enquiry now to them so here's hoping they operate in San Juan. We would be flying there from UK, and the idea of the chair waiting in the cabin would be brilliant. I'll let you know if it comes off thanks. Anyone else with helpfull suggestions, glad to hear from you.

I hope they are able to help you! We also had to have O2 and all of that was taken care of too. Can't say enough good things about them. All came together great!
