assigned an accessible room?

[rodndonna]

We are leaving this Sunday for our Alaskan cruise on the Koningsdam (Jun 11). 

 

It was a 'free OV' Casino room - and just checked our boarding pass and we have been assigned an accessible room on the 1st floor. I really have no concern about what room I am in, but am somewhat surprised it is an accessible room as we have no need for one. Is it likely just a place holder until we board or do they assign those rooms to fully able bodied passengers if not needed by others?

 

Again, just a curiosity... wouldn't mind the extra space though 🤔

Yes, these rooms are routinely assigned to able bodied guests when they are not needed; incidentally, it is considered an upgrade.

I find them more spaciously arranged.  I don’t book them because if there is a need you will be reassigned. In your case obviously there was no need so enjoy the spacious arrangement

Thanks,

 

I just checked again and it is considered a Family room (FB). A review stated  that it was accessible which I guess maybe it is because it is a little bigger. Either way, it's a larger room than standard OV so happy if we get it. Nice to have that seperate shower room.

Accessible cabins are assigned if it has not been booked by someone needing it. Which cabin have you been assigned because as fa as I know, there are no accessible "Family Rooms".

Yes, I think it was a mistake in the review to have called it an accessible cabin. (I guess because it was larger with a separate shower?) , but indeed it is just a family room (FB) and not an 'accessible" suite, so we can enjoy the few extra feet without guilt! 😃
