SOS!!! Need CPAP Supply place in St. Croix

Post by OutaSync » Sun Dec 06, 2009 8:19 pm

Help!!! Anybody know of a cpap supply place in St. Croix, Antigua or Dominica? I'm on a 14 day cruise and don't have the humidifier tank (don't ask) or the adaptor with me. I'm using my travel machine, the Auto CPAP with A-Flex. We stop in St. Croix tomorrow, if anyone knows where I can go there. We emailed the one place we saw online, but didn't get any response.

Bev, I did a search and can't find anything located there. Perhaps you can call cpap.com and have them ship on to an upcoming location or a doctors office of something at one of your upcoming stops.

Maybe someone else can help. Hopefully.

Perhaps someone from the crew would know or be able to help you locate one.

Sorry that I can't help with the information you need, OutaSync. Gerryk had some great ideas. I do hope that you have a fabulous time on your cruise though!!! Sounds like fun!

Ask the medical docs on the cruise ship and see if they can help you out; you can't be the first who's forgotten some part of their xPAP equipment. They might be able to arrange for a quick delivery at next port. Meanwhile, drink lots to stay hydrated..and enjoy yourself!

Working with the ship's medical team, a brand new R2B was delivered to the ship by port authorities one minute before we sailed. Situation resolved after my first 3 nights without CPAP.

Thanks to all for the suggesions.
