buckirj1 Posted September 2, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I'm newly somewhat mobility impaired, due to surgery earlier this year, and have trouble walking inclines, but not to the extent that I'd need to obtain assistance from the crew (I hope). I didn't have trouble boarding in New York, where the gangways were long, but not terribly steep. I had some trouble in Baltimore, where the gangway was both long and rather steep. I realize much is dependent on tides, etc., but I'm considering the Sky, and would like to know how long/steep I can expect the gangway to be in Miami. I'm hoping it won't be a bad walk, because the Sky is a small-ish ship. I'd appreciate any insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycarla Posted September 2, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Since Miami is built especially for cruises, you will probably have less of an incline. They will take care of you, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfantum Posted September 3, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I have had knee surgery which has strangely made inclines even worse than stairs. I have been on the Sky twice and had no trouble getting up the ramp (the parking garage was a different matter...). If you do find yourself in distress, I'm sure you can find someone to assist you.

buckirj1 Posted September 3, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Thank you both. Yes, stairs are easier for me, too--going up anyway, going down is another story. Happy to know the incline probably won't be a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevCruise Posted September 3, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 3, 2014 This is from inside the building looking toward the Sky. Not sure if it helps give you an idea or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
