RonPaula Posted October 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I will be on RCI's Allure and I'm wondering how to hold open the cabin door while I enter and exit my cabin using a scooter. I have a handicap cabin. Thanks, Paula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a handicap cabin.Thanks, Paula Personally I just handle cabin doors just as I do at home. Open it just as I would If standing though I'm seated on a scooter and drive through while holding the door open than releasing it to close on its own.

jmspls72 Posted October 14, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Hey Paula did you check to see if the cabin have an automatic door? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted October 14, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2017 If you are mobile enough to get out of the scooter to open the door, then get back on to drive in, you can ask the cabin steward for (or bring one you purchased) a rubber door stop. Just prop the door open with it, drive in (or out), then reclaim it. Since I am alone, and have been using a scooter for the last several cruises, I have found that this method works very well when the door doesn't have a magnetic door stop.

RonPaula Posted October 15, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Thank you for the responses. I don't believe that Allure has the auto doors. But the other two suggestions should work. I am mobile, just can't handle all the walking that comes with cruising on such a gigantic ship. Paula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paula I was mobile up until a few years ago...I would give anything to handle all the walking that comes with cruising on a mega ship. Be happy that you are able to walk.

Paula RCCL's Oasis Class of ships which includes the Allure do not have automatic door buttons for accessible cabins. The only RCCL ships that have automatic door buttons are its Radiance Class ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonPaula Posted January 3, 2018 Author #10 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Thank you for the update. Looks like I'll be packing a rubber doorstop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoLoHa Posted April 14, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Now I am curious why they are on Radiance class and not on the newer, larger ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
