1st time cruise. I'm disabled, and usually bring my scooter for vacations because I can't walk long distances. I am fine walking around the room, and since I'll be with a friend/caretaker I don't need an accessible bathroom or shower or anything along those lines.
We weren't able to get an accessible room, and honestly I don't need one and I'd feel guilty taking it from someone who did -- when I travel alone I DO need accessibility and it's so frustrating seeing able bodied people in an accessible room when I can't get one.
Anyway, my concern is the scooter. All I need to do is be able to bring it into the cabin overnight. I don't need to ride it in the cabin at all. Is that possible in a regular room? We're on the Carnival Ecstasy in an oceanview room. If need be, my travel companion can break down the scooter and carry it into the cabin, and lean the pieces upright in the closet. That's what we'll do if we have to. It would just be easier to fit it through the door.
I'm a tiny person and it's a small 3-wheel scooter -- 21" width. Does anyone know if I'l be able to wheel it in through the door and put it somewhere that won't be directly in our path from the bed to the bathroom? Or will we definitely need to break it down every time?
