Scooter in regular room on NCL Pride of America?

I have booked a guaranteed balcony non-handicapped room for a July sailing on NCL Pride of America in Hawaii but will be renting a handicapped scooter. Will a regular scooter fit in room or will they store scooter for you overnight on this ship or allow you to keep it in hall? The accessible rooms are all booked.

under zero circumstances can you leave it in the hallways. nor will they store it anywhere for you.

 

it is unlikely it will fit inside the cabin without at minimum taking the arms off and possibly breaking it down completely. it is also likely that even if it was doable, you would have no room in the cabin to move around without removing some of the furniture( coffee table, chairs tc)

 

there is a reason many lines have gone to requiring anyone with an ECV to book a HA cabin.

Finally found this on NCL website:

Should you choose a stateroom that has not been designated as accessible, you will need to bring a collapsible wheelchair, or if you have a motorized wheelchair or scooter, the width must not exceed 26 inches to enter the stateroom door. All scooters and wheelchairs MUST be stored in the stateroom. Due to the safety and escape way requirements established by SOLAS regulations, they cannot be stored in the hallways, stairways, or any other public area

On the Celebrity Equinox last year we had an aft cabin - the guy in the corner suite behind us parked his scooter every night in the little hallway that connected our two rooms.

 

 

and you would have been within your rights to contact Security and have it removed( not housekeeping)

Correct! There are no exceptions for parking mobility devices in little "out of the way" nooks and corners in the hallways - included "folded" wheelchairs.

 

For a mental picture of what an exit passageway/corridor/hallway could look like in an emergency, think back to your most recent muster drill and everyone trying to leave the venue at once when the drill was over. That's why obstructions in hallways are not permitted.
