  1. We are due to go on our first Celebrity Cruise ( 2nd overall cruise) in August to the Baltic on Eclipse.

     

    We are booked into disabled cabin 1028, does anyone have any experience of what the ramp is like to get onto the balcony?

     

     

    The reason I ask is that we had a disabled cabin with balcony last year (different company) but the ramp was so steep that it was very difficult to get from the balcony back into the room without fear of the chair tipping back.

     

    Thank you.

  2. Good Morning

     

    My husband is a full time wheelchair user and we sailed on Arcadia last August, 2014, coincidently to the Fjords and we were first time cruisers so we were a little apprehensive about how 'we' would cope.

     

    We had a balcony cabin D140 which was large enough to be able to stay in the chair without having to get out at all. The bathroom is a wet room and, again, plenty large enough to be able to move around comfortably.

     

    The only downside was getting out onto the balcony. The ramp, outside the cabin on the balcony is very steep and my husband could not manage that on his own so I was needed to push him up the ramp to come back into the cabin. I don't know if this is the same for all cabins.

     

    We had an amazing time, the crew could not do enough for us - always someone ready to offer help and we would certainly sail on this ship again. A very minor problem we had getting round the ship were the carpets were very deep (lol) making it difficult to move the chair forward (that's where I came in to help).

     

    We are sailing with Celebrity this summer and they have a lot to live up to.

  4. Thank you so much for posting all this information, it really does help in decision making.

     

    Would you be so kind as to post the itineraries for Azura 22/7 - 5/8 Western Med and Oceana 17/8-31/8 Med

     

    Many thanks
