NCL Cruise in a Wheelchair
On October 21-28, 2016 my wife and I went on the second cruise we have taken on the Norwegian Dawn out of Boston. In August 2015 we sailed with a group of family, 22 of us altogether. This time around, however, it was just the two of us traveling on our own. There was a great deal of press regarding the drydock and renovation of the ship this past June, so we were very anxious to see for ourselves. It turns out the changes we saw were almost entirely a matter of decor, flooring, window and wall treatments, and furniture.
We do not go to bars or clubs, but we did get around seeing a great deal of the ship in general; regarding the new décor, most of the ship was brighter and even more pleasant than it had been the previous year, the changes were definitely for the better. We enjoyed the entertainment, taking in quite a few of the different shows during our cruise. There was a nice variety in the types of shows to see.
Cabin Review
Balcony
Cabin BC
This is a handicapped stateroom and is very badly set up.
Phone at the head of the bed, only 12 inch space to get to. Impossible to reach in a wheelchair. 4 inch step up to get out on the balcony, impossible in a wheelchair. Bed height approximately 29 inches, very difficult and somewhat dangerous to get in and out of from a wheelchair.
Bathroom: polished chrome grab bars, very slippery if hands are wet. Sink approximately 36 inches. At chest height in a wheelchair when brushing teeth. barely enough space to rotate a wheelchair in place, frequently banging hands and knees.
