we did upgrade to include the  Tundra Wilderness tour and we are taking the train. Land tour is before cruise. 

Hi linstadt - How did you upgrade to the Tundra Wilderness tour?  I'm on a similar trip in June.  I've called Celebrity twice and both times they told me that I can't upgrade ahead of time (have to wait until we're there).  I'd love to know how you managed it!

Thanks for posting information about the revitalized Millennium.  One question for you:  Does the ship offer cabanas for rent by the pool or on the Retreat Sun Deck?

Thanks,

Dave

Thanks for all of your responses so far. I'm going to be in cabin 10200 on the Dawn. I've heard there's a pole in the middle of the room, and I was hoping to see how much of a hindrance it will be.

I didn't mean to start a debate over the appropriateness of requesting a handicapped cabin; however, in reading through this and similar forums, I've seen that it doesn't take much to get that debate going. For my two cents, I would say that anyone for whom the modifications of a handicapped cabin (no thresholds, wider doors, accessible bathroom) are a necessity should be able to use them. There are only about 20 cabins on a ship that I, as a wheelchair user, can even stay in. Those cabins should be reserved for people who need them. It's up to the individual to determine if his or her disability constitutes a necessity.

Able bodied persons who intentionally book these rooms far in advance just for the space should be left at the dock. I have no problem with the cruise lines opening unbooked handicapped cabins to the general public within 30 days or so of the cruise, but I shouldn't have to book over a year in advance just to make sure I can get a spot. As for those able bodied people who think that they can book a handicapped cabin and the cruise line will just bump them if someone needs it, that's a joke. Someone who truly needs a handicapped cabin would never book a regular cabin and hope that they can switch. There's far too much risk involved with that.

Again, thanks for all the responses so far.

I know this thread is 4 years old, but I just booked a handicapped cabin with a balcony on the Dawn for a cruise to Bermuda. I use a wheelchair, and would really like to see how the room is set up. Are the photos still available somewhere?

Thanks,

Dave
