Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. He does not have stage 1. He has had the disease for over 10 years and has many issues with the main one being bent spine syndrome. His Neurologist is a Parkinson's specialist as well as movement disorder specialist and does not believe in assigning stages. He has been thru some pretty tough times but fights hard every day. He also has a pretty extensive list of drugs and last summer started a fairly new drug. We have been through some tough times but if our experience can help you just ask, we certainly understand where you are coming from.
  2. My husband has had Parkinson's for over 10 years and most of the time is pretty stable. We had not traveled during covid but sailed on HAL Koningsdam for Thanksgiving 2022. He uses a walker and we alway get an accessible cabin. We flew southwest from Phoenix to San Diego and overnighted before the cruise. Is there a specific question that I can answer for you?
  3. I think that he searched to find a photo so I could see the bathroom. I have thought about taking a photo of handicapped cabins are they are few and far between. As someone who husband has needs I really appreciate finding photos before we travel. It is much appreciated.
  4. Thank you Essiesmom - The guest accessibility rep sent me the same photo as you posted. He said signature suite 6164 is the same as 6175 so we will have exactly what we need.
  5. Thank you all for your help. My husband is not able to do a bench tub or it is also called a transfer tub. With the help of HAL special service we were able to find a cabin but had to upgrade to a Neptune suite. We would have had major issues if I had not called to check on the bathroom as the description they have was not correct. If anyone is familiar with this cabin we would love to hear about it. Thanks again.
  6. My husband and I are booked in Cabin 8068 on the Westerdam to Alaska. I was able to obtain this cabin as I thought it would work best for him. As I was getting ready to make a scooter reservation I wanted to check the HAL Guest Accessibility to ask some questions. One of my questions was regarding the bathroom to see if it was a walk in shower. The gentlemen told me this cabin has a bench tub. My husband disease is progressive so I want to make sure it is something he is comfortable with. I need some help as I have not heard this term. The gentlemen tried to explain it to me but it sounds like he would sit on this bench and then have to swing his legs of into the tub. Lifting his legs is difficult for him so I would appreciate if you can tell me if I am correct.All of the other features he could use, no steps into the bathroom and the balcony. They sent me photos but of the room only. Any help is appreciated.
  7. Just got off the ship - internet was terrible. Problems with email coming in and going out. Our phones would not work. I was able to send a message from my iPad and get a response.
  8. I appreciate all of your replies. This shut down involved all water and bathrooms on board. When speaking with the room steward we were told not to put water in the toilet and not to flush it. No information was given to us by customer service on board. They said it was just maintenance but it seems like an ongoing issue. Maybe 4 hours is not a lot to some people but when you are in your 70's and visit the bathroom a few times a night it becomes a problem. Also how do you know it is only going to be 4 hours. I thank chengkp75 for the response.
  9. Florida Gal I knew there was something that is not right. I agree it is not because someone flushed something they shouldn’t have. That is a fixable problem. I am a little concerned it could take longer than 4 hours. Guest services told us to call room service and they will deliver a pitcher of water, not sure what that will do for using the toilet. I thank you for your reply. I have talked to others earlier in the cruise that are on a back to back so word that this happened last week will be getting out quickly.
  10. We have been given a letter that said water will be turned off from midnight tonight until 4AM for routine maintenance. We will not water and will not be able to use the toilet during these hours. We have over 30 years of traveling on cruise ships and never heard of this. Has anyone experienced this or heard of this?
  11. Thank you for all the help...I will start shopping
