Vision of Seas - accessible review part2

[Branchan]

Dining

Schooner bar tables are not easy for wheelchair users to use when having a drink. The tables were quite low and we had to pass Shawn his drink each time he wanted a sip. Since we spent a lot of time there doing daily trivia I though it appropriate to mention.

Izumi sushi bar is on deck 12. There is no elevator access so this restaurant is not accessible for a wheelchair user.

 

Pool facilities

There is a lift to get into the hot tub and the pool. We unfortunately were not able to take advantage of these facilities since the max weight limit was 200 pounds. As Shawn would say they are intended for stick people.

 

Special Needs at Sea

We rented a shower commode chair as well as a standard folding manual chair. This was our first time renting a manual chair but we were having issues with the power chair joystick prior to our trip so we decided to rent it as a back up. You cannot get folding wheelchairs (other than for assistance with getting on and off the ship) to use on the cruise so if there is anyway you may need to use one then you need to rent one ahead of time. The company also offers a service to have the equipment at your pre-cruise hotel and will pick it up and bring to your cruise stateroom. Both of the equipment were already in our room when we got there at 1pm.
