Thank you Kevin I have a sister who is in a wheelchair is it great to know about the accessible cabins

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

Thanks Rozanna !!

[@serenitypirates8537]

OMG I love that I have found you. It is so hard to navigate the wheelchair accessible staterooms on cruises.

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

Welcome to the Cruising With Wheels family !!

[@violetcat9116]

WOW! It looks like they have changed this cabin over the years. My sister and I are booked in 11288 for January 2020 on the NCL Breakaway. All pics I find of it are 5 years old and show a much smaller room. You just did your review so I feel it will be this larger cabin. That is great for us. We both use scooters to get around. I can only walk about 100' before I must sit down because of severe back pain. I also can not stand to shower and have to have the shower seat to bath. This cabin looks like the one we had this past January on the NCL Epic. I am happy to find it is this bigger arrangement. Thanks for all your reviews....makes it nice to see where we might sail next. We both enjoy cruising very much.

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

Thanks. This is not the Breakaway nor is it cabin 11288. The Cabins and ships are similar. Here is a quick walk thru of your exact cabin on your exact ship. It isn't an extensive review like ours but you can at least see a quick look at your cabin. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5TPi3h-fsate7s

[@russelllash8044]

Thank you guys. We were thinking of this ship and the cabin looks perfect for my chair.

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

Great .... Glad we could help!!

[@HeidiSKulesh]

Fantastically done, Kevin, thank you!! Thank you to you and Frank for who you both are, and what you do. Big hugs!!

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

Thanks Heidi !!

[@sandsmom71]

Glad you are back

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

Thank you Margie!!!

[@juliewilson3237]

The size of this room is great .For the one and only time being in a wheelchair would be a plus for me lol .Good tour round thanx .X

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

Thank you Julie.

[@Teddygrams03213]

That room is like suite size. Nice

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

Yes it was!

[@laurelbrennan6295]

Lovely cabin...so much light, as well as, how roomy it is.

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

We thought it was a great sized cabin.

[@johncarlo8557]

Good morning Frank and Kevin, I hope everyone is well, enjoyed the video as always.

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

Thank you so much John!!

[@shannonmcclain350]

Beautiful room! I like that they have a plug-in for battery-powered mobility devices. Wouldn't it be amazing if the cruise lines would figure out how to put accessible hot tubs in the rooms? They make bathtubs with doors, so why not hot tubs too? 😉

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

That would be awesome !!

[@twothreestickstravel344]

Thank you for posting this awesome cabin video, Kevin! I have no trepidation booking with NCL, now. :)

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

Thanks !!

[@TheJanettiffany]

Love it- I have to give it to NCL! They go above and beyond with their accessibility.

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

They really do!!

[@rgruenhaus]

Any card for electricity! I tell the room attendant to leave the electricity on for charging devices. I love that the Balcony is nice and wide! I will be going on the Escape 18FEB23

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

I was a great room

[@turquoisedavis91]

Love the room. Thanks for sharing!

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

You're welcome!! Thanks for watching Turquoise!!

[@rgruenhaus]

My brother and I will be in 11700 a Oceanview room!

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

Nice!!

[@lisaanderson8235]

I was so impressed with the "elbow room" in this cabin! Also,I never would have thought of the need for a lower peep hole. (smacks forehead) Duh!

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

You're so cute Lisa!!

[@energymed13]

Nicely planned. Only thing I saw missing was shelves in bathroom for toothbrush toothpaste, deodorantt, hair spray, etc and holder for wet towels/shower cap,

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

That drives us crazy !! Why not shelves ?? We had to rely on the shelves above the desk in the cabin to hold our bathroom stuff.

[@poulingail]

I wonder if the handheld shower can reach over to the toilet as that's where our loved one gets her shower at home? 😁 #KeepinItReal

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

I dont know Sorry

[@pointerdog2420]

Great detail and wonderful video! I never cruised on NCL. I am a loyal RC cruiser but watching your videos I may give NCL a try! Where's Frank? You pack light!

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

We generally try to focus on the room and not each other when we do the cabin tour.

[@jamesellis4275]

Great video as always

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

Thank you James!!!

[@Hootymae]

Very informative video. Thanks!

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

Thanks for watching !!!

[@vanessawyndham5744]

Thanks Kevin!😊

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

Thanks for watching Vanessa!!

[@nsobgyn]

That room and Balcony are soooo much bigger than the mini suite room we booked last year on the breakaway, which I believe is a sistership. Is this room a suite ?

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

No, this was a handicap accessible balcony cabin. It has to be large enough for a full turn around of a wheelchair or scooter.

[@andreyyakunin3114]

Hey Kevin what are my room options if I am in a wheelchair and would like to travel with my wife and two kids? Thank you in advance! Andrey.

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

Usually you have a choice between inside, ocean view, balcony, mini suite or haven. This of course will depended on the cruise line you choose as well as the ship. Not to mention what is still available at the time you decide to book. My best advice is to find a good travel agent to align yourself with and book as far in advance as possible to have the most options available to you.

[@ezplays3321]

Can you still open the door manually from the inside? or do you have to use the button

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

Button if Im remembering correctly.

[@sandygrogg1203]

Really spacious... Do many non handicapped people try to book these rooms? Do you need to have proof that at least one passenger is handicapped?

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

The cruise line sends a special needs form to fill out once booked outlining your disability and special needs.

[@sandihoman7889]

Why is there never a power door for the bathroom?

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

Good question Sandra !!

[@gailpippin9761]

Stupid question time: what is the weight limit on the shower bench?

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

Have no idea. On all the cruises we have been on - some have the type of bench permanently mounted in the shower and some just have a plastic portable type bench. I assume they both have different weight limits. You should reach out to the special needs department of the cruise line you are sailing for that specific information.

[@domdompomodoro6621]

Nice

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

It was a very nice room.

[@ChristopherCollinsworth]

Im planning a cruise here shortly. From a wheelchair and my first cruise ever. How do you get from the airport to the ship?

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

We usually book a car service or take a taxi. We have also used the ship transfer bus.

[@ChristopherCollinsworth]

@@Cruisingwithwheels Thank you. So guessing the ship transfer bus can handle wheelchairs? Do you fly in the same day of your departure date or you need to fly in the day before?

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

Always double check to make sure that the ship transfer bus has a wheelchair lift....when you book. If we sail out of NYC....we fly the same day. If we sail out of Miami or ft. Lauderdale or Seattle.....we fly one day early.

[@shrtctc814]

I hope they do not charge more for a handicap balcony compared to a regular balcony! Thanks for another great informative video.

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

There usually isn't an up charge. The challenge comes in booking it as they have a limited number available.

[@tiffm3110]

@@Cruisingwithwheels hopefully they verify the people who book it really need it

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

The cruise line sends a special needs form to fill out once booked outlining your disability and special needs.

[@carolynwilson1174]

I think if they charged more it would be against the American with Disabilities Act.

[@annjordan7501]

Thanks Kevin&Frank for sharing great cabin tour!! Looking forward to more’😎😎🚢👍🏻⚓️

Thank you so much Ann!!

Yes !

[@danfairchild7080]

That’s a really nice cabin! So what’s to stop some heartless bastard who doesn’t need it getting this cabin for its extra size? I’m sorry but as you know there are a lot of rude self centered entitled peeps out there. I saw non-handicapped people walk out of handicapped washrooms while someone in a chair had to wait on them to leave during our New Years cruise. As usual very informative and professional 😀😀xoxoxo

[@sandrabonbled4048]

You have to fill out special needs form to get these. They do check that you have a disability such as in wheelchair, blind, etc…

[@jms60]

Hope you just showing room not using it someone might need it do not walk nice room

[@Cruisingwithwheels]

No .... We stayed in this room when we were sailing on NCL Getaway. Frank is in a wheelchair. Thats the reason this channel is called "Cruising with WHEELS" !!
