Will Celebrity Provide an HC Shower Chair?

[kitty9]

Does X provide shower chairs for their HC guests? Mom is going to need one on our cruises in November and January, and unless I know X will provide this in the PH, I will have to rent one for her use.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I suggest you call Special Services and tell them what you need. My guess is that it will be available for Mom. Happy sailing.

A Celebrity cruise, first and foremost, is about feeling relaxed. And in order to feel relaxed you have to be comfortable. Every ship in the Celebrity fleet was designed with that very attribute in mind. On board you'll find wide, spacious corridors, to allow 180° turns for wheel chairs. Most decks are accessible through automatic doors and all public rooms feature entrances with gradual inclines. Our accessible staterooms range from 272 square feet to 381 square feet, offering a generous five-foot turning radius in sleeping areas, bathrooms and sitting areas for easy maneuverability. For additional information, call (800) 722-5472 ext. 34492 (voice/TDD), send an e-mail to special_needs@celebrity.com, or have your local travel agent or International Representative contact us.

For those staterooms which are not HCA, I order shower chairs through Celebrity. For my elderly clients I just do it as a matter of course to be proactive against falls.
