Accessible pools?

[DRS/NC]

I'm considering booking a fall cruise on Celebrity. I've only cruised on X once & that was 20+ yrs. ago.  Now I have somewhat limited mobility & certainly can't climb in/out of pools that have only ladders.  I need steps!

 

Are Celebrity pools Handicapped Accessible?  What's your experience?

Yes, I'm also posting this on the Disabled forum.

 

Thanks!

on S and M class I think the indoor pools have steps.
 

On Eclipse, S class ship, there is a ‘ducking stool’ which enabled me to enjoy the solarium pool post surgery. Staff were fantastic, always ready to help me to access and help me get out again. I suggest you name the ship you are looking at then contributors can offer ship specific information.

I have seen the "ducking stool" referred to above in the Solariium on Equinox as well.

I’ve seen the ducking stool on M class covered pool.  EM

On all of the ships I've seen ADA compliant lifts for at least some of the Hot Tubs as well as ones for both pool and Spa. 

 

Also at least on M-Class they have gentle stairs which may also work for you as you indicated a ladder was the problem.   The spa also have gentle stairs (far right)

I'm told the Infinity has a lift in a hot tub. I hope it's like in the second pic, which I guess works both for the hot but and the pool.

I think the use the same chair fleet wide.   I've seen the same chair at the Retreat Sun Deck on both M and S Class post revolution.    Celebrity does a good job of making the ship and facilities accessible.

That's good to know! I'll be sailing Infinity on Saturday, so I'll find out soon 🤣

Here's a picture from Infinity from Cruise Deck Plans

 

They also have the same chair for the pool and spa on Infinity

Good Picture of stairs in spa

 

Couldn't find a picture with one for the spa pool.   But gut feel there's one there.
