Difference between wheelchair room and regular room

[olechka]

Sorry to create another threat but hoping this will get a better response.

 

We just found out we got room 1082 on Zudeirdam. What does wheelchair room have that regular room doesn't and vice versa.

 

Thanks!

Basically no bathtub and doorways wide enough for a wheelchair.

as a wheelchair accessible cabin 1082 will have a larger bathroom with a roll-in shower with fold down seat and grab bars, an elevated sink that a wheelchair can roll under, no lip between the cabin and the bathroom and it will be larger than a regular cabin in that same category in order to provide enough room to turn a wheelchair or scooter inside the cabin. The door in to the cabin will be wider than standard to allow access to the wheelchair - and you will notice that it is adjacent to the elevators so that the disabled person does not have to wheel a long distance to go up or down.:)

These cabins are not all near an elevator. For example aft facing HA Suites on Vista class are pretty far from an elevator.

thank you very much for pointing out that not all accessible cabins are near elevators BUT i did go to the trouble to bring up the deck plan for the cabin the OP was asking about 1082 on Zuiderdam and it is right adjacent to elevators.
