Mr&MrsBee Posted May 17, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2019 We were not able to get a handicap cabin. We do have a Concierge Cabin on the Silhouette. How wide are the doors. transportable scooter is 20" wide. Will it fit thru door. Where to store in cabin? Where to plug in to charge scooter. Any help or tips would be appreciated. Thank You.

Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted May 17, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I would suggest that the safest thing to do would be to call Celebrity and speak directly with someone. They may need to transfer you to their accessibility department but if so then you would be assured of a good answer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestLakeGirl Posted May 17, 2019 #5 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Steward can take your scooter each night and park it out of the way to plug it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted May 17, 2019 #7 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Scooters take up a lot of room in the stateroom. It can be difficult to maneuver them in and out of the room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted May 17, 2019 #9 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Unlike the M class ships where concierge rooms are about 10% larger than regular verandah rooms, On Sillhoette and the other S Class ships, concierge class cabins are the same size as standard verandah rooms. Having a scooter in one doesn’t leave much space. The only outlet for charging will be at the desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted May 17, 2019 #10 Share Posted May 17, 2019 While not specifically listed - This article list about 10 cruise lines and all doors are between Width of cabin doors on cruise ships Unfortunately most cruise lines do not provide door width, but evidently the standard is 58 centimeters (23 inches) or 61 centimeters (24 inches), depending on manufacturer. For this reason we at TravelScoot have started to compile a list of cruise ship door widths, and are asking our TravelScoot passengers to assist us. The next time you are on board ship, please measure the width of your cabin door. If you don’t have a tape measure, just let us know if the regular, full-size TravelScoot fits through the doorway fully assembled (59.5 cm or 23 7/16 inches), and how much clearance remains. For info please email: info@travelscoot.com List of door widths (standard cabins) at the cruise ships of various shipping companies Cruise Line Vessel Door Clear Inner Width Costa Diadema 58 cm (23 inches) Costa Mediterranea 58 cm (23 inches) MSC Splendida 61 cm (24 inches) RCCL Monarch of the Seas 58 cm (23 inches) RCCL Brilliance of the Sea 60 cm (23.6 inches) Carnival Destiny 61 cm (24 inches) AIDA Aidasol 61 cm (24 inches) AIDA Aidaprima 61 cm (24 inches) Disney Cruises All Ships 58 cm (23 inches) Tui Cruises Mein Schiff 6 61 cm https://www.travelscoot.com/cruise-ship-information.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gold1953 Posted May 17, 2019 #11 Share Posted May 17, 2019 a big issue is to get a cabin with bed by the window as a scooter will not go past the foot of the bed. Also bathrooms have a step up so a person needs to be able to walk a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted May 17, 2019 #12 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Not sure if normal but recently back from Infinity TA with a heavy passenger load with scooters. In walking around I noticed at least 10 were parked in the hallway. One unit had 2 pax in scooters and both were in the hallway. Not sure of the safety factor.

Rare cruisestitch Posted May 17, 2019 #13 Share Posted May 17, 2019 A lot of cruise lines won’t let you park scooters in the passageway overnight. Princess is one. You have to move scooters to another location overnight. I thought that was also Celebrity’s policy, but maybe they ran out of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendychloecruiser Posted May 17, 2019 #15 Share Posted May 17, 2019 My mother travels with her Pride GoGo Elite Traveller which is 19.5 inches wide. We have never had a problem with getting into regular balcony cabins on RCI and Celebrity. We always seem to be able to tuck it under the desk. It is easier if the bed(s) are closer to the balcony but we manage either way. We do not ever leave it in the hallway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr&MrsBee Posted May 17, 2019 Author #16 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Thanx for all the info. Found out door is 26 inches wide. Can't reach the rental company today. Only concern now is length of power cord or if battery is removal. We are on CC cabin 1207 Can't remember if bed is bath or balcony. I only need help for long walks. Do not want wheel chair as want to make it easy for wife rather than have her push me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother-in-law had a scooter (on Solstice cabin 2105 C2). It fit thru the door, but then you could barely move around in the cabin. His was a rental scooter from Celebrity Accessibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
