Explorer disabled cabins

Does anyone have any experience of the adapted cabins on deck 5 on Explorer 1 ?

 

Any information appreciated

Hi

I had an adapted cabin last January as I had broken my leg, was non weight bearing and was on crutches. I found the cabin to be extremely spacious, with enough room for a wheelchair around the bed if needed. My

main concern was the bathroom as I needed a seat and hand rails. The bathroom was a wet room, with a large shower area with no steps or lips on the floor. It was very spacious  and had grab handles around. 

 

I liked the position of the cabin

on Deck 5, which was near to reception. The corridor was nice and wide and spacious, obviously to accommodate a wheelchair/mobility scooter.  In fact we are off next week on Explorer 2 and have booked our cabins on Deck 5 alongside the adapted cabins. Thankfully this year I will not require an adapted cabin.

 

I would also add that the service I received from the beginning to the end of the cruise was excellent. 

 

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much.

We do not actually need a disabled cabin but we booked very last minute and that was the only outside available.

 

Sounds like we have lucked out.

 

Enjoy your trip on Ex 2.

Yes I think you will be pleased. It is more spacious than the standard cabin and its nice not to be down a long thin corridor.

 

Have a great trip.
