Emotional Support Animals No Longer Allowed on Royal Caribbean Cruise Ships


Royal Caribbean has updated its policy on emotional support animals. Emotional support animals -- defined as those whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support -- are no longer allowed onboard its ships; emotional support animals do not qualify as service animals under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA).

Was so ridiculous. The same thing should happen everywhere like airlines, restaurants, stores.

It was only a matter of time. Dog owners abuses of the "service dog" designation has gotten way out of control. Companies should be prohibited from selling Servive dog vests to anyone without proof the dog is legitimate.

Oh thank God. I asked a woman last week at the Belvedere Library if I could pet her "service dog", you know the one wearing no vest... and she said YES. Um, you should never pet a REAL service dog. I am not a fan of people who abuse the system. The poor dog!

Almost enough to get me to book a cruise. Excellent move on RC’s part. Here’s hoping more follow.

Why would someone need emotional support from an animal while on vacation anyway? If a cruise stresses you out - pick a different kind of vacation!

I'm a bit curious. Where do these dogs that are on cruise ships pee and poop?
