Satisfaction
I just wanted to drop a line and say how much I appreciated this service. My family had been looking at doing an Alaskan cruise from right before the pandemic. Literally, we were supposed to put down our deposits and everything shut down. But 5 years later, we finally realized our dream and got to experience our Alaskan Cruise. We loved it. I loved the beautiful scenery that cannot be put in to words how glorious it was. We didn't get far into the Tracy Fjord. But we did get to see Mendenhall Glacier and it was amazing! We tried to make the most of this trip, we did an excursion in Sitka where we saw bears, raptors and totems! We rode the train in Skagway and went to Mendenhall in Juneau. In Victoria I went out and ate an cheesecake Beavertail (highly recommended) and a Chocolate Dipped ice cream cone, (not worth it) so I had a great time. My family had a great time. Thank you for making this happen. It would not have been possible to do all these things, on a cruise ship without Dialysis at Sea, so mahalo nui loa, thank you with my deepest appreciation. Thank you for providing this service for people like me.
This was our first Dialysis at Sea® cruise. We both were very pleased with our experience especially my husband, Pasquale, who was the dialysis patient. The DASC staff members on board the ship were pleasant, helpful, and accommodating, especially Johnny the RN and Marc the LPN, and Dr. Karp. The dialysis facility was comfortable and the use of large beds was very relaxing. All of this put together made our first experience with DASC special, so much so that we would not hesitate to go on another Dialysis at Sea cruise. Lastly, I would like to commend the staff that I worked with in you offices in Florida, namely Brandie in sales and Joy in medical records . Everyone was organized, helpful, and pleasant. Thank you again for all you help!
My husband Jacob went to heaven over six months ago. It is quite difficult to see your brochure come to our address. We enjoyed our Alaskan cruise very much. The dialysis people were absolutely wonderful to him and me. We were looking forward, hoping to take another dialysis cruise, but it was not to be. I am grateful that your company exists. I only wish we had been made aware of it several years earlier! My husband and I told everybody in our dialysis center that we ever visited how wonderful we think you all are! I am so grateful we had that precious time together on the one cruise we took. Just three months after we got home, he had a bad accident and spent most of the next year in the hospital. I am truly grateful for the cruise memories. He really enjoyed remembering that trip.
Words cannot express how extremely grateful I am, and how much it meant to our entire family, that you made the decision not to cancel my brother Chuck's dialysis. We have just returned from our 7-day Caribbean cruise on Holland America and were ecstatic about the excellent service from your company. In fact, his nurse, Barbara, and his doctor, Ron, were so helpful and caring that our entire family felt we had become friends by the end of the cruise! I know that you suffered a large monetary loss by allowing Chuck's dialysis to proceed even though he was your only patient on that cruise. But I assure you, if you could have witnessed the happy scenes of our family celebrating my parents 60th anniversary for seven solid days, you would be totally convinced that you did the right thing. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart and God bless you!
We have just returned from our cruise and I must say, both Campbell and I couldn't be happier with the dialysis treatment he received on the ship. The entire dialysis team from the time of arrival to departure was first class. Many thanks to all and we will be traveling again soon!
Dear Brandie, just back from our Alaskan cruise; it was Wonderful, wonderful, WONDERFUL!!!!! Thank you so much for all you work setting things up and working with me. Thank you also for the great robes that were waiting in our room, beautiful Rotterdam cooking book and galley tour (great!). Wow, what a surprise and just such a nice gesture on your company's part. Our room was nice and big, great location and my girlfriend had also ordered champagne and balloons for our room, so we were really set!!!!! The dialysis clinic worked out very well; very nice nurses and the doctor came around to see Barry. You really do an excellent job and I would gladly work with you again.
Our medical staff has opportunity to experience the excitement of cruising to majestic ports of call throughout the world while enabling dialysis patients the freedom and confidence to cruise with the knowledge that qualified and trained professionals will be traveling with them to care for their shipboard medical needs.
