Sail Date: Jun 2013
Cabin: Promenade Stateroom

This was our 2nd time aboard Indy and our 3rd in total.  Embarkation was very swift as we drove our two wheelchairs through the security and check in. We left it slightly later and went straight to our cabin to drop off carry bags and the one chair.

Here is where it went a bit wobbly as e asked for some help to unpack. Our stewardess was a bit hesitant and after a bit of assertion we got some help in the form of two supervisors (men!!) and the cabin girl. Needless to say everything ended up all over the place and the blokes had never hung dresses up before!!. By the second day the wife had had enough and off to Guest services she marched to demand some tweaks to the packing. We got a voucher for some of my shirts that were now well creased but in fairness, Joanna came and we did a re-sort of the drawers and closet.

We ate MTD and we started off with Edwin and Gilmer, two great guys who by the end of the cruise were masters of buttering bread, cutting food and remembering everything we needed. We also had Wilmer on a few nights and his entertainment was brilliant although I think we got him into trouble as he spent a little too much time with us rather than serving some Spanish guests.

Cabin Review

Promenade Stateroom

Cabin PR

Accessible Cabin 8315Lots of room for two wheelchairs, wet room spacious but need a bigger shower seat (used a deck chair instead). Closet has pull down rail which in all honesty got in the way for us.No noise at all even over looking the Promenade.Needs settee nearest window to be moveable so a wheelchair could watch the parades if they so desired.Overall very suitable for the disabled cruiser.
