traveler2100 Posted February 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Norwegian tells me the Aft Balcony Handicapped rooms are almost twice as large as the normal aft balcony? and they are the same price? I may be taking a cruise with my Wheelchair bound Dad and this is important for us. So, can anyone tell me if this correct info and any experience with this type of room?

gamecockmom Posted February 10, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 10, 2017 We were beside a handicap cabin on our cruise last August and just peaking over, it was bigger than our Aft Balcony. If it was twice as big ??? Hmmmmm. Maybe ??? But the Aft Balcony has a lot of room and is deep enough for lounge chairs. In fact we had 2 lounge chairs, 2 regular chairs and small table and still had room. I hope this help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted February 10, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Which stateroom are you looking at? Is it aft (location) or aft-facing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Wheels Only Posted February 10, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 10, 2017 OK, the aft-facing HC rooms are significantly wider than the standard rooms. The balcony depths will differ depending on deck. There is also the HC aft-facing mini-suite on deck 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWCruisers Posted February 10, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Last June I stayed in room 11918, which is a handicap accessible aft-balcony. Being the first aft balcony we have cruised in..we were shocked at how much smaller the normal sized aft balconies were after visiting a friends. I would say it's at least double the size (maybe seems bigger because no couch) and the balcony fits multiple loungers and PLENTY of extra space. You will notice the neighbors looking over towards your balcony many times. The bathroom is also extremely large and has an amazing shower.

Ponkythecruiser Posted February 11, 2017 #8 Share Posted February 11, 2017 It is true about the aft handicap balconies. We sailed on the Getaway with our family, one regular balcony room and an aft handicap as our 14 year old son uses a wheelcheer. The aft balcony was amazing. All 6 of us would congregate over there as our regular balcony barely held 2 chairs. We are sailing on the Escape in March and have 2 aft balcony rooms, 1 handicap and 1 regular.
