Rare Cruise Junky Posted March 6, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I have a dilemma. We looked at booking a med 2015 cruise today and need an inside. My choices were right at the front on 7 or a handicap room on 4. I feel bad about booking a handicap room but really don't want the front either as I suffer from motion sickness. What would you do? I assume if someone needs the room Oceania may just move me anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiidan Posted March 7, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I have seen them and they are way different.... a huge bathroom with a roll in shower, no tub, just a way different arrangement. Great if you are in a wheelchair... not so if you are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potterhill Posted March 7, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 7, 2014 It would appear this is on a R ship and the handicap cabins do have a tub. A lovely huge one. We had one of those cabins and it was great. Would take again in a heartbeat. No need to feel bad if it is on offer. They no longer allow them to be booked on request and if it is needed for someone they will relocate you. On 4 you will feel very little motion.

urlaub Posted March 8, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I feel very sad when I read this. My husband is paraplgic, we need an accessible stateroom. It never happened that we got an accessible room once this was booked! Sometimes we saw non handicapped people leaving a cabin we asked for and were told it was booked! If Oceania offers accessible staterooms to abled bodied guests two years earlier a handicapped will not habe the Chance to book this cruise!

potterhill Posted March 8, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Ha, I wrote this response as a reply to the email notification! First time for that. Here you go. They don't. They must be offering it for a reason but I'm sure will relocate the person if need be. They used to allow them to be booked, but haven't for at least a couple of years. I understand your frustration. I used to be a nurse, my husband looks after spinal cord patients and our daughter now uses a walker and wheelchair intermittently for EDS. Two years ago she could run 15 K without breathing hard. It's been a tough ride. Mo Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptcellen Posted March 8, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 8, 2014 We were wait listed for an inside, category F, and were assigned to a handicapped room, even though we are not handicapped. Our cruise is still 8 months away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very quiet there because only two "fancy" cabins across and one next to. Never had any noise problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have motion sickness problems but never noticed a problem. It's very quiet there because only two "fancy" cabins across and one next to. Never had any noise problem. That's good to know. Thank you. I really don't want to take up a handicap cabin. We'd be sailing Rome to Istanbul so I'm not expecting it to be too bad for motion. Thanks for the input.

Rare Cruise Junky Posted March 12, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted March 12, 2014 So now I have a dilemma ....I could book a handicap room in 4 or I could take an inside guarantee. I'm thinking that if they need a handicap cabin they'll move me anyway so why not roll the dice on a guarantee. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way you will have a cabin You could also ask to w/l for the specific cabin on deck 4 that is not H/C should it become available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
