I booked a verandah guarantee for my wife and myself and our 12-year-old daughter, and were almost immediately assigned an accessible cabin port side, Deck 7. This was roughly three weeks prior to departure. We would not dream of trying to book an accessible cabin, but were very happy about the assignment. As it turned out, this cabin made our voyage at least 50 percent more pleasant than it would otherwise have been.
The room was quite large at 300 sf (area equivalent to that of a sky suite), with an extra-large balcony and extra-large bathroom. We would never pay suite prices, but felt we had something equivalent for a bargain price with this assignment.
I say this not just to boast at our good fortune, but also to encourage anyone who may end up with an accessible room assignment. Enjoy the ample space, and don't let anyone guilt-trip you about it.
Cabin was spacious and gracious. If you need an accessible cabin, or if nobody needs it and you happen to get it, it's a good one! Great views fore and aft. Quiet, close to forward elevators, big verandah. Accommodates 3 with the sofabed. Great bathroom with lots of space, large shower area. Numerous grab bars make great towel and swimsuit/laundry drying racks.
