Door width for scooters.

Will a rented 3 wheel scooter fit thru a standard cabin door?

Depends on the scooter.  EM

The information is in the Mobility Equipment Guidance Under Health & Accessibility on Princess's Pre-Cruise FAQ. You should also download and return the Mobility Questionnaire which also has the door dimensions.

Mobility Equipment Guidance

Here are some important things to know about bringing a mobility device onboard.

If you will be using a mobility device or have special needs, we strongly recommend you travel with a person physically fit to assist with your needs both onboard and ashore.

Although we do not offer mobility devices onboard for personal use, you are welcome to bring your own device. Alternatively, we do partner with the following companies who provide wheelchairs and other medical equipment for rent, and they can deliver directly to the ship. If a rental is a better solution for you, please do contact them directly.

• Special Needs at Sea: 800-513-4515 or 954-585-0575, or visit the Special Needs at Sea website
• Scootaround: 888-441-7575 or 204-982-0657, or visit the Scootaround website

Please ensure that your mobility device meets the following specifications:

• Maximum device width: 22” for standard staterooms, 31” for wheelchair-accessible staterooms
• Maximum combined weight of the wheelchair, including guest: 600 pounds (weight may vary outside the United States)

Your mobility device must be securely stored in your stateroom when not in use. This will ensure that hallways and other public areas are clear for other guests and crew to safely move throughout the ship. We do not offer alternate locations for mobility device storage onboard. For assistance onboard with charging your equipment in your stateroom, please contact your stateroom attendant.

If you are bringing other mobility equipment onboard or if you have booked Princess transfers, pre or post hotel stays, Cruisetours or shore excursions you must complete our Mobility Questionnaire (PDF) and return it to us at least 60 days prior to sailing.

Please be advised that filing out the Mobility Questionnaire is to ensure that our Access team can properly assist you with your accessibility and mobility needs. It is not an approval or confirmation of any request, nor does it guarantee being booked into or moved to an accessible cabin. Please ensure that you discuss your cabin needs with your Travel Advisor or our Reservations department.

The main thing I would consider is whether or not the scooter can fold up. The doors (other than the very few accessible cabins) are too narrow for the majority of "regular" scooters. As is stated above" Maximum device width: 22” for standard staterooms, 31” for wheelchair-accessible staterooms" this is not real wide. Our son's wheelchair definitely doesn't fit through a standard cabin door. The two times he sailed with us we booked early enough to secure a handicapped accessible cabin. If we couldn't have secured one of those cabins he couldn't have cruised.

I sailed on the Sun in April of 2024. The specs of my scooter( a Pride 4 wheel non folding model) listed a width of 22" My cabin door (not a wheel chair accessible cabin) was listed by princess as a 24" wide door. MY cabin door finished opening was 21 5/8" wide when measured between the molded steel door stops. My scooter would not fit. I was told I could park it in the very wide service hallway adjacent to the elevator banks and the hallway leading down to Guest Services. This area does not have an equivalent on other ships that I am aware of except for the area near the Medical Center or the area near a dis-embarkation hatch. I was fortunate that my scooter as less than 20' from my cabin and I was able to manage getting to it on my own. If I were fully mobility impaired or travelling alone it would be VERY difficult. To the OP post I would urge you to book an accessible cabin which offers a wider door and more floor space for a turning radius etc. Good Luck to you and enjoy your trip.
