I have taken many cruises, but this was my first Disney cruise, as was it for my client. She is 88 years young and cruises with her son and his wife annually, but we transport her throughout the ships using a wheelchair.

We reserved a "Handicapped Stateroom" for her and I to share, which was roomy and very accessible to her WC. The bathroom had many grab-bars, a pull-down seat in the shower, but the sink was mounted too high for easy access (although a WC could be pushed underneath it).

Many of the thresholds where carpet connected were a bit high to ride over easily, "bumping" the guest hard. Maneuvering the WC through the seating in the restaurants was always difficult as pathways were narrow; we notified them in advance that we would have a WC but no accommodations in our assigned seating were made. That said, the staff was always ready to help clear a path or guide the WC to the table, to make it as easy as possible.

Cabin Review

Cabin 8092 - Handicapped Stateroom. Great location near elevators. Queen size bed does NOT convert into twin beds. Sofa converts to twin and is VERY comfortable; also there is a twin bed that can drop down from ceiling and a twin size "Murphy" bed in wall. Lots of closet space and drawers for clothes. Balcony is very roomy. Bathroom is large and easily accommodates WC and has many grab-bars and a pull-down seat in shower.
