    Not a service animal. Fluffy needs to stay home. If you can't leave the animal then you don't need to be cruising. 
    I was a working dog handler in the military and have worked with the service animals for the blind and my mother currently volunteers with the Paws for Passengers at the Reno Airport.
    I am in healthcare now and I can't even count the number of times patients have asked me to write letters for them to take their animals with them. I have said no everytime.
    I know what it takes to have to need these very specialized animals and to have to them trained. Service animals cost thousands of dollars in training and everyone that wants to take Fluffy with them to the store, Dr's office, to dinner, on the plane, or on a cruise, diminishes the real service animals and does a disservice to the disabled that truly need them.

    Jolly Ogre reacted to twangster in Can I bring an electrical bicycle on a cruise?   
    For an American cruising out of Europe you'll first need to get an e-bike on a plane.  Most e-bike batteries exceed the size that is permitted on an airplane.  
    Recreational devices have different rules than wheelchair and mobility devices so don't try to use allowances for medical devices and apply that to recreational devices like an e-bike.  
    I have two batteries for my e-bike and both are way larger than I could ever legally bring on a plane, even the smaller one that came with my e-bike.  The batteries that are allowed on a plane are typically meant to be battery banks that are much smaller when compared to e-bike batteries.  
    Then there is the cargo costs that checking a bicycle on a plane come with.  You might want to ask an airline how much they would charge for a bicycle on an international flight each way.  
    You may not be savings as much as you think by trying to bring your own bicycle and then there is the issue of transporting it from airport to hotel, hotel to ship, etc.  Plus what if it's raining on the day you arrive in port?  If your trip is premised on riding your bicycle in every port you may end up with nothing to do if the weather is foul on a few days.

    No, it's a bad idea.  Buy yourself out of the hassle @twangster describes by paying to rent as needed.

    It has happened and yes the woman abandoned her pet and was charged when she got back. It was at an airport though.

    After much debate, We are going to stick with the previous chosen select sailing... 8 nt Southern Caribbean on Oasis for 6,000 less than what they are selling the stateroom for.  I'll visit St Lucia by plane...🤣
