Rare voyager1964 Posted July 4 #1 Share Posted July 4 (edited) Those of us that require stateroom accessibility and yet desire to sail in a suite, are getting less and less opportunity with Celebrity's new ships. For the M-class ships, among 50 suites, there are 6 accessible cabins (12%), all sky suites, i.e., the lowest suite category. For the next generation S-class ships, we have 66 suites of which 4 are accessible (6%), again only sky suites are accessible. Reflection, being an exception has 111 suites of which again only 4 are accessible (3.6%) The newest E-class ships, Ascent, Beyond and apparently Xcel have a whopping number of suites - 198 of which only two are accessible (1%), again of the lowest sky suite category. So, we have two problems - There are disproportionally fewer accessible suites on the newer Celebrity ships. - There are no accessible upper suites on Celebrity. At all. For a comparison, the sister company RCCL always offers at least one upper suite as an accessible cabin. Typically, the most exciting two-story suite on RCCL would be accessible (Crown Loft suite on Oasis class or Icon Loft suite on Icon class). So I wonder if there are any plans to convert regular suites into accessible suites? How about making some upper suites accessible, e.g., the Edge Villa? The RCCL installs an elevator in their loft suites to make them accessible - why Celebrity cannot? At the very least, can Celebrity offer an ~upper-level suite package for their accessible suites so that their guests could enjoy the benefits of the upper suites that are not attainable to them in principle (not because they cannot afford an upper suite but because the upper suites are not accessible)? I mean a nominal fee package offering them higher-class balcony furniture, unlimited specialty dining, laundry, etc?
