We have this room booked for an upcoming cruise. Was there two separate areas or one big room?

Hi friends- we are on the Joy and are thinking of moving our cabin to 13108 which is an H7, disabled cabin and it is open and being recommend by our cruise consultant as she knows our circumstances. My husband has mobility issues due to a a spine disease (and he has other health issues as well) and having a shower he can walk into is much safer. He has fallen numerous times trying to climb over the tub/shower. My questions are - I have heard that unlike other Forward Facing Haven Suites that have a separate little living room, this room is all just one big room (presumably for ease of wheel chair turnaround)? Just curious if this is true. And I wanted to know if anyone can confirm that the shower is in fact walk-in, I mean it SHOULD be, but just wanting confirmation. Also - is the walk down the hall pretty long to the elevators? We typically will stay in the courtyard in the Haven for centrally located proximity to things so he doesn't have to walk as much as he is a little slower than the average bear. If anyone has any photos or video of this specific cabin or info--that would be wonderful! Believe me we have full understanding that if some one with an even more severe disability needs the room, like someone confined to a wheel chair we will be asked to move. One day not long from now my husband will be in a wheelchair and he is just 57, with a not long life expectancy either - so I am asking that with kindness that we refrain from commenting on this aspect of my post. With many thanks....Traci 

I am just off the Breakaway and am not excited with the change in what used to be my favorite restaurant. First, they have removed the prime rib. Second, they have increased the fee. The restaurant itself was one of only several things, in my opinion, on the Breakaway that was bigger than on the Dawn. It was not only in a larger area, but a more open area that also increased the noise and the volume of the noise. It was not quiet and just did not meet the standards that I have felt previously on the Dawn (for 3 previous visits on the Dawn). My waitress was not attentive, forgot my DH's drink and, in the end, was pretty much uninterested in pleasing our group. The quality of my food was good. My ribeye was cooked perfectly and the shrimp cocktail was large and tasteful. I found the desserts pleasing also. We all sampled each others oreo cheesecake, ice cream sandwich, apple crisp and brownie. The coffee is not the individualized brewed pot we used to get but served via the waitress individually.

My husband is a beer drinker and friends who went on this cruise last year (Boston to Bermuda) said that NCL offered special prices on cases of beer for the cruise week the first two hours of being on the ship before it left Boston. Does anyone know about this or where you would go to find out when getting on the ship?
