sanders Posted June 26, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Considering a cruise on the Carnival Pride. Have never been on Carnival and was wondering how wheelchair accessible the Pride was (lips in doors etc). Thanks for any replies.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annebkpk Posted July 14, 2008 #2 Share Posted July 14, 2008 We just got back from the Carnival Pride and my mom was in a wheelchair the entire time. Carnival actually came to the rescue. We had ordered a wheelchair to be delivered from a company and they dropped the ball. We were able to rent a wheelchair from Carnival for the length of the cruise with a $50 deposit that was returned at the end. We had no trouble negotiating any part of the ship. Only a few doorways were a little steeper to get through. No problem going down the side aisles in the showroom either. The only deck not accessible was the very top where the minigolf course was. The elevators go up to the spa though and my mom enjoyed a massage. No problems going into the dining room either..overall it was no problem. She was able to go ashore at Puerta Vallarta in her chair too and go on the dolphin excursion. She didn't go ashore in Mazatlan and Cabo was cancelled due to bad weather. Hope this helps!

leoandhugh Posted July 16, 2008 #3 Share Posted July 16, 2008 If you use a wheelchair, Carnival Pride is quite accessible, but you should try to book an accessible cabin which will have a doorway wide enough for the wheelchair - regular cabin doors and those of so called "modified" accessible cabins are too narrow for a wheel chair. Also the fully accessible cabins have no lip between the cabin and the bathroom The bathroom has plenty of grab bars and a roll-in shower with fold-down seat (no tub):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
