Pool ladder vs stairs

[Rudy888]

My wife has some mobility problems. We are looking at a future Holland America Cruise. Which ships have stairs/steps vs. ladders to enter the pools?

Rotterdam Lido pool has both.

I believe the pools all have seated "lifts" on a swing arm as well,  for easier access.

And the stair in the hydrotherapy pool in the spa is the best on the ships, by far!

Koninsdam has steps. 

[Taters]

All of the Pinnacle class ships, Koningsdam, Nieuw Statendam, and Rotterdam have stairs leading into the pools.  All of the other HAL ships swimming pools have ladders.

Many of the ships do have seats on swing arms for pools and hot tubs, but I cannot say that all do. I would contact Guest Accessibility. They can tell you which have stairs, ladders and/or the swing arm seats.
