Cruisin' Crazy Posted September 22, 2007 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Looking for some help on wheelchair cabins on the (New) Royal Princess aka Minerva II aka R8. In the present form as Royal Princess, this ship has two balcony wheelchair cabins, numbers 7082 and 7086 on deck 7. My wife is mobile only with an electric scooter, and we are booked in cabin 7082 on Jan7 and Jan 21, 2008 cruises Fort Lauderdale - Manaus - Fort Lauderdale. As wheelchair travel always means extra preparation and "be prepared" for any & all contingencies, I am looking for some digital pictures of either of these cabins; general photos of the cabin and the bathroom, and in particular a closeup of the ramps going out to the balcony and in to the cabin, and the physical size of the balcony itself. We have encountered difficulties on other ships with too short ramps that the scooter cannot get over and having to ask for custom built ramps more suitable to the scooter, with it's longer, lower wheelbase as compared to wheelchairs. A "heads up" on what we may encounter helps to prepare us for what may lie ahead. Many thanks to anyone who may be able to supply pictures or other information about these cabins to kenmarvv@allstream.net will be much appreciated. I have posted this to the Disabled board as well, but sometimes these cabins are occupied by non-wheelchair people so asking here for anyone who may have been in either one.
