Now if you have a scooter on board you have to have a fully accessible cabin and evacuation chair. These cabins are marked with a plug icon on the new deck plans. https://www.pocruises.com/content/dam/po/inventory-assets/ships/IA/Iona-Deck-Plan-W26-27.pdf Edited yesterday at 12:41 PM by Gettingwarmer Deck plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including the two insides I've just found I now make 80 - I'd missed the lower decks! As a matter of interest how many do you get on Iona/Arvia, I've not counted but they look pretty sparse for the ship size?

Clearly if Arvia follows the same there are going to be a lot of displaced previously made bookings. I assume these new deck plans are industry based as I just looked at the Britannia one attached to my booking the day before yesterday and cannot see these plug symbols yet.

As I said previosly they are on line under the "Detailed view" only, not the single deck plans only but I must admit I have not looked at every ship.

As i previosly said I do not require these cabins and am counting for others. I'm getting a headache.🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P&O are being really nitpicking with these new rules, we had a balcony cabin with a pole, granted with a manual wheelchair, but the pole did not cause any problem at all, and since all motorised wheelchairs etc have a reverse gear, then I doubt anyone would have restricted manoeuvrability. So it must be designed to reduce the number of disabled passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOLDSURFER Posted yesterday at 02:49 PM #192 Share Posted yesterday at 02:49 PM 55 on IONA &. 55 on ARVIA. Take out PARTIALLY ADAPTED 15. Will try and print cabin numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the Iona plan from Gettingwarmer I can only find two insides with a plug symbol for instance. P&O really need to upgrade the info on the website with a very clear sign stating which can take motorised mobility aids. I'd guess the list you mention will at least assist in a count of how many evac chairs each ship will have available. It's no wonder people are getting confused at present, everything is very vague. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This list of Accessible Cabins does not indicate which ones can be used now for motorised wheelchairs or scooters. This can only be seen on the new deck plans by the plug symbol. I'm sure there will be more help on Britannia tomorrow. Have a good cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOLDSURFER Posted 22 hours ago #199 Share Posted 22 hours ago From information received only IONA &. ARVIA have PARTIALLY ADAPTED CABINS. My cabin on ARCADIA is listed as a Large cabin. No PARTIALLY ADAPTED CABINS on AURORA, BRITANNIA, VENTURA. AZURA. So it’s all to do with EVACUATING CHAIRS and storage off Wheelchairs & Mobility Scooters, & cabins big enough to Manoeuvre Wheelchair & Mobility Scooter around. Take your pick. MY OPINION.

Derek Yes I agree that the cabins indicated for motorised vehicles are not necessarily adapted cabins. I think they should publish a book with all the new deck plans in so that people can see clearly what is what.
