Oosterdam 5054(H)...Room Enough?

[OceanLadi]

I have booked this cabin for my grandmother and cousin. My grandmother is in her 90's and needs a scooter to get around on longer trips. Has anyone been in this cabin, or in sister cabin 5051, on the Oosterdam with a scooter or wheelchair?

 

I just want to make sure that they are comfortable and have plenty of room to get around in their cabin. Some folks have commented that some of the designated handicapped cabins are quite small.

 

Any available pics would be appreciated too.

 

Thanks!

Some of the accessible cabins on the new Vista HAL ships are not comfortable to move around with a scooter. With the new European mattresses, there is barely enough room between the foot of the beds and the wall to get the scooter through; we had them remove a couple of the chairs to make some space for turning. In addition, the bathroom doors open outward instead of inward, making it difficult to position the scooter so that you can open the bathroom door; as a result, we kept it open most of the time, although doing so partially blocked access to the wardrobes:)
