Lexicat Posted April 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) I have booked the Grand Princess for Southern cruise (Melbourne, Adelaide, kangaroo Island, Port Lincoln, Phillip Island, Melbourne). I have a guaranteed midship BA balcony on deck11. The last time I cruised was 2019 and my MS was less advanced. I’ve now progressed to using a rollator. I have just got through the wonderful journey of NDIS application and having had my first planning meeting it looks like I will be getting a scooterI know there is a disabled forum but some of my queries are more local. 1. Any tips about how to manage these ports. I will be able to use the rollator on land but I don’t do.stairs or slopping ground for any distance. Will I be okay with the tenders? 2. will I be okay with this cabin? 3. Any tips for choosing a scooter for travelpurposes?

Rare arxcards Posted April 25, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2023 You won't be able to use the rollator in & out of the tenders, but you can get assistance from the crew. I recall the walk from the tender wharf up into Penneshaw, KI might have been a bit steep, but not too bad to the staging area for tours. Getting around the decks with a scooter will be fine. The only concern I have is the width of the scooter vs a standard cabin door (58cm), and whether you are better suited to having a wheelchair accessible cabin with a much wider door and more swing room. https://www.princess.com/html/global/book/ships/deck-plans/ap-accessible-route-text.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would try and get a disable cabin so you can get the scooter thru the door and booking a guarantee you are only guaranteed a balcony cabin which may not be on. deck 11 but anywhere so call who you booked with and try and get a disable cabin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
