> When traveling with your dog on a cruise, the person who has organized your
> cruise or your travel agent, should have sent you paperwork on access
> issues.  All travel professionals should be asking this as well, whether or
> not you are blind, deaf, have allergies, use oxygen, need any special
> accommodations. If like you said, you are going on an NFB Group Cruise in
> September, which I didn't hear about it, wow, I would have gone.  LOL.
> Anyway, contact them.
> In general, when traveling with a guide dog or service animal, the cruise
> lines will ask for copies of a health certificate be sent to the cruise
> lines prior to cruising, with all the updated shots.  Now don't do this now
> Steve, this is done a week prior to cruising that this certificate needs to
> be done, your vet will tell you when to get it done.  It must be done by a
> USDA Veterinarian, they have a special stamp that they use for this purpose.
> Also, Canada doesn't need anything else special for traveling with a service
> animal, they follow our laws, but you must carry also the health certificate
> with you, should customs ask to see them.
> When I was in the Bahamas, which is a different story all together, I was
> asked by the Bahamas Customs agent to see my dogs paperwork, this is the
> health certificate.
> Now getting back to the cruise itself, you need to let the cruise lines now
> you are bringing the dog, and have the agent of record fill out the access
> forms for you and submit them.
> I hope this helps.
