Buddy604 Posted September 9, 2009 #2 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I'm not going to be snarky here, but I do hope you are wheelchair bound if you're booking the handicapped cabin. :( I'm mobility challenged and have a government issued handicapped id, and would benefit enormously from the handicapped washroom, but even I leave these cabins for the folks that need the extra room to get their wheelchairs through the door. I was repulsed on a recent cruise by a man who boasted of using the 50% decrease of hearing in ONE ear as grounds for booking a handicapped cabin. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uppitycats Posted September 9, 2009 #3 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Booked in D-703 looking for any info on handicap cabin? There is a board on this site for disabilities cruising. One of us there might have been in this cabin, and can offer some opinions. Do you a have specific questions, such as how the cabin might meet your needs as a disabled person, or are you wanting to know how different it might be from a regular cabin that you're used to?

lovey1103 Posted September 10, 2009 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Please know that not all individuals with a handicap cabin require a wheelchair. My mother has suffered long and hard with osteoporosis and arthritis for years with multiple joint replacements. While she can walk and does not need a chair, she is unable to use a restroom in a standard cabin. She requires handicap bars and is unable to step up. Also, my husband has Parkinson's, and while he can walk, he again needs a handicap a restroom and area large enough to walk and turn. Things are not always the way they appear. Please dont judge. We would gladly give up a handecap cabin for good health. As for the hearing impaired person, all I can say is shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Diego Ellie Posted September 10, 2009 #5 Share Posted September 10, 2009 DRW, there is a lot of favorable information on that cabin in the Disabled Cruise Travel section. Just search for posts by the cabin number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted September 10, 2009 #6 Share Posted September 10, 2009 The OP asked a simple question, not about being repulsed by anyone. :cool: Nobody knows the circumstances of how this cabin was obtained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recia Posted September 10, 2009 #7 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Sometimes Princess puts you in a handicap room even though you do not need it. This happened to us last year, we booked a BG gty. and were assigned a handicap room. I can only assume there were no request for the room and they wanted to occupy all rooms.
