Rare horseymike Posted June 2 #3 Share Posted June 2 I would try to reach out to Celebrity to see if they can assign you a different cabin. Explain to them your situation and ask them to make this change in the name of safety. Hopefully they will help you. I sincerely wish the best for you folks , hope you have a great cruise 🛳️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted June 2 #4 Share Posted June 2 To get a walk in shower you would need to move to a assessible suite. We have stayed in SS on Reflection and the side of the tub can be challenging both entering and exiting. Showering in the spa could be a option.

Rare Plato123 Posted June 2 #5 Share Posted June 2 Here is a photo of the bath on the Reflection Sky Suite. We have been on ships where it is a lot higher and as a senior with recent back surgery I was able to manage the tub quite well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been on ships where it is a lot higher and as a senior with recent back surgery I was able to manage the tub quite well. I found this tub/shower to also be a little more accommodating than some. Let's be honest - at any given time usually half or more of sky suite guests are seniors. Unless someone is particularly mobility challenged, they should be able to manage these. It doesn't show in the pic but for the OP's benefit - there is a handle on the wall you can grab to help getting in and out or in rocky seas! (Not to say I don't wish they had a separate shower, because I certainly do!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jembeccatoo Posted June 2 #7 Share Posted June 2 The tub is a bit deep in the Sky Suite. It may be easier to get in by sitting on the side of the tub and swinging your legs over one at a time or sit down and bring one leg over and then stand up.

Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted June 3 #9 Share Posted June 3 I don't book sky suites because of these tubs. Getting in and out is a problem and I've never seen grab bars, although I suppose they could have installed them recently. As I said, it's been quite some time since I booked a sky suite.

Cruise a holic Posted June 3 #10 Share Posted June 3 We are seniors also- No problem getting into or out of shower, however different people have different problems. I would suggest that you book a handicapped sky suite if you are concerned. We had a celebrity suite on the Summit and the bathtub seemed really high. Enjoy your cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tudy Posted June 3 #11 Share Posted June 3 I agree that you probably want to change your room to an accessible room. They are slightly larger than the other sky suites and have a larger bathroom that is more like a wet room. My first suite was a guarantee and we were assigned an accessible room. My husband did not like it because he would have preferred the tub/shower combo. I could see that it would be nice for someone who needed it.

They all have grab bars. Not always in the most ideal spot IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
