Rare pasodancer Posted March 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Reason why I am asking is that I am slowly recovering from a leg injury and want to be prepared versus taken by surprised (and subsequently having to stop while others pass around us). This will be our 1st time at Cape Liberty and was wondering just how steep the walk onto the ship it (past experiences has been RCI out of Lauderdale which isn't that bad as long as long as you take it steadily.

Maraprince Posted March 23, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2018 If you have any doubts, you may consider asking for wheelchair assistance when checking in at the port. Better to be safe and not push yourself or injure yourself boarding the ship. MARAPRINCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njkruzer Posted March 23, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 23, 2018 No steep ramp at boarding at Cape Liberty. An escalator from waiting area or an elevator, then there is longish ramp, but gradual incline. Agree if that is a problem then arrange for assistance.

Rare pasodancer Posted March 23, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Thank you so very much!!! Have 80 days to rest up -- hopefully I'll be good to go but if not, I will gladly ask for assistance!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Turtles06 Posted March 23, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 23, 2018 We were on Anthem last month, and the gangway was virtually level. I'm glad for you, OP, and hope that your recovery goes well. I have to say, though, that I was very disappointed by this because there's something about walking up a steep gangway to board a ship that is exciting -- it's a very clear break from land and it just really kicks off the cruise for me. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chakita22 Posted March 25, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 25, 2018 We just got off The Anthem yesterday and I agree the Gangway getting on and off were very level. Getting off and on in CocoCay and Nassau were totally different ! (Providing those are your stops) Going from the ship to the Tender boat in CocoCay was very wobbly , so that will depend on how rough the seas are that day ( we were very happy to say we got to stop in CocoCay because the Seas have been too rough for the ship to stop there lately) Getting off in Nassau was a steep incline , but there were also people there to help you walk down if you found it too steep. I agree if you still feel you need support by that time to ask for a wheelchair, you don't wanna hurt yourself and not be able to enjoy the rest of your vacation . Hope that helps :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Request a wheelchair. The steepness of the gangway will depend on the tides and level of water in the harbor. There is walking through zig zag lines, escalators, and the gangway to get to the ship.
