Guests must be fit and mobile enough to access and disembark the tender. If guests have impaired mobility or use a mobility aid such as a walking stick, cane, or walker, then they must carefully consider their ability to embark the tender safely before making their way down to the platform. Guests must consider the use of steps, the possibility of a gap and height difference between the platform and the tender, and the potential sudden movement of the tender when deciding to embark on the tender. Crew members are not permitted to carry wheelchairs and mobility scooters into the tender. For the safety of all passengers and crew members, all guests must be able to independently embark and disembark the tenders. Carriage by tender may be refused by the master or any of his officers if there is any doubt as to the safety of any guest.
