Gangway width

[Ron the Rev]

Many cruises under our belts but on Princess we have only been on the Grand class. DW is wheelchair bound and sometimes it's a battle to get along the gangways. We are going on the Sky Princess 11 June and wonder if the gangways are wider or narrower  ?

This website might be helpful to you.  It says gangway is wide enough to accommodate most wheelchairs and scooters.  Also a lot of extra information.

It would not depend on the ship, but the facilities at the port, which deck is used and the tide. Some ports have a sissors gangway, making any change in elevation easy to negotiate. The ship does take along a gangway wide enough for a wheelchair. When the tide comes in, the incline would be a challenge. You can't argue with the moon about the tide, so just ask a crewmember to asssist.

I do hope you are taking advantage of the help Prncess provides for those who need it.  Enjoy your cruise.
