sonocruiser Posted January 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hey All! Just booked my first NCL cruise. Went with a balcony guarantee. Received a email from NCL outlining their handicapped room policies. Is this the norm with booking a guarantee or have they already assigned me a stateroom that is handicapped? I have no problem if it is- I travel with my mother who has MS and we stay in handicapped rooms all the time. But I sure wouldn't want to be in one if someone needed it.

WanderlustJourney Posted January 12, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) They probably have assigned you a wheelchair access room. When I sailed on Holland America we purchased a guarantee balcony, we were assigned a wheel chair access room, however the it was was needed at the last minute by someone who required it so they upgraded us to a Signature Suite at no charge :) Sometimes guarantee categories can pay off lol.

trish1c Posted January 12, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 12, 2017 We had a handicapped room when we booked an OV gty. I hated it. Because the bathroom had to be flat / level with the rest of the room, there were no barriers to contain the water from the shower. It leeched out under the door, into the cabin & soaked the carpet every day. I can only imagine (but really don't want to :eek:) how gross & moldy that carpet was underneath. You couldn't walk barefoot through the cabin because the carpet was always damp. eeewww It's entirely up to NCL where they put you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonocruiser Posted January 12, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted January 12, 2017 So I just re read the email and it does say if someone with a disability needed the room I would be moved. That makes me feel better. The only thing I want is a balcony- room and bathroom lay out really don't matter. I hope there is not a big water issue, but I'll deal with it. Do you know if l will be informed of the room number before boarding? How does that work with the luggage tags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WanderlustJourney Posted January 13, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 13, 2017 You should receive your final cabin number a week or two before your sailing. If you are really worried about it you can talk to your travel agent or all NCL directly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
