Jean1946 Posted July 28, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Does anyone know firsthand if you can request a shower chair when you get on the ship. I am having back and leg problems and cannot get in a tub or stand long enough to take a shower. I do not need a handicap room, just a little assistance with that. Thanks.

sail7seas Posted July 28, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I have read here you can request a shower chair from your steward. Because they may be limited, you might wish to call Ship's Services in advance and request one be placed in your cabin. 800-541-1576 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzie68 Posted July 28, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Absolutely. Our room Steward brought one in unasked when he saw the wheelchair in the cabin last cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue from Canada Posted July 29, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Thanks, everyone. I will contact HAL, please have my TA note it on our documents. I had a shower chair from HAL once and the legs were too wide to fit in the narrow tub. IMO, it's only useful in cabins with shower only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not always. On our last cruise on the Rotterdam, the steward gave us a shower chair that did fit in the small tub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time I'll try to get one that fits if the original one doesn't. These boards are so helpful:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
