Handicap cabins

[cviolante]

When a handicap cabin shows up on an on-line booking engine, does that mean anyone can book it? I had always thought you had to show some sort of proof of disabilities?

[tomcarson]

No. It just means there are few cabins available in that category and that is one of them. If you book the cabin and someone who is disabled goes to book that cabin, they will be told the cabin is full. If you are not in need of a disabled cabin -- book a different cabin.

Book a different cabin.. Someone with a real need might need it..

And if you do need it be sure your travel agent locks the cabin for you. Our last ex travel agent states he did this but my Mom who traveled with a walker and a wheel chair got bumped to a standard cabin and was not told of this until she boarded. We will be very careful in the future to make sure she keeps her handicapped cabin. It is our feeling, the cabin was left available for an upgrade, which in her case made for a very uncomfortable trip.
