dcsam Posted December 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I just bought my husband a Travelscoot. It's compact, maneuverable and lightweight. And when folded down, I can carry it under one arm. So it's very practical. Although he can walk, I'm thinking of bringing it on our February 9 cruise to help make getting around just a bit easier and quicker. He does have walking and balance issues from a stroke. We've never traveled with such a contraption. It's not big or bulky. And it's speedy when needed. We're booked in a standard balcony cabin for our upcoming cruise. Wish we could afford a handicap cabin, but standard will do. Anybody know what the door width is on a standard cabin? Even if the door is too narrow, no problem for me to quickly collapse it. I'm just curious. Thank you. Caroline S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mringenoldus Posted December 29, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 29, 2016 HA cabins are the same price as standard within the category. It's possible that there may not be HA available or remaining within your preferred category. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBMacLaird Posted December 30, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Hi dcsam, Our Veranda stateroom door to hall is 68.5cm wide. The ADA stateroom door to hall is 88cm. I've attended a PDF of the specifics. Enjoy your cruise...and thank you for choosing Azamara Club Cruises! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcsam Posted December 30, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Thanks for the info. Exactly what I was hoping for. Looks like this gadget will fit through a standard cabin door with room to spare! We'll bring it!😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveH2508 Posted December 31, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) My wife uses a Travelscoot (though not on a cruiseship yet) and absolutely loves it. It is a very liberating piece of kit (saves me carrying heavy shopping as well:D). Remember to bring your little toolkit with the Allen keys in the unlikely event that something starts to work loose. If it is the belt-drive model, bring a spare belt for just in case (ours is still on the original belt after 4 to 5 years use). Don't forget the charger;). Door width would be very tight to drive through - BUT - IIRC there is often a lip which would make it difficult or impossible to drive through (on standard cabins), so you are likely to need to collapse it or lift it through the door (I can manage lifting it assembled easily enough but then I am a six foot ex-squaddie!).

dcsam Posted December 31, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Thanks SteveH! I had looked at purchasing a Travelscoot awhile back but decided on the Solax. It seemed like the better option for those with balance issues. BIG mistake! We just returned from a trip where we met a woman with a Travelscoot, so he was able to 'test drive' it on several occasions and we were sold. Now he has one. I'll be able to lift it if needed - it's that light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ran out of the business cards Hardy supplied a long time ago! BTW - there is a FB page for Travelscoot users which Hardy (the designer) does monitor. Useful for some ideas for some simple modifications as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
