First off, I am disabled and use a manual wheelchair. Getting through embarkment was a hassle. Way too long a process (no less than 2 hours) but whenever an employee saw me in my w/c they took me and my group to the front. My mom and I had decided on a w/c accessible balcony room, which was immaculate when we went in. The room was very roomy, which was a pleasant surprise, but the balcony situation was my first disappointment.

I had asked someone at NCL (via e-mail) if the balcony had a lip because I wanted to go out onto it whenever I felt like it. I was told that it had no lip, which was a lie. It had a 5-6(?) inch rise. Luckily, my brother were able to lift me in the w/c onto the balcony at least once a day. The balcony itself, it was wonderful.

We left Seattle on a sunny day, sailed all day Monday, and got to a partly cloudy Juneau on Tuesday. I was pleasantly surprised at how w/c accessible the city is! The bus driver to town was a crack-up and I was sad that it was such a short trip. I didn't make any excursions there because I have a relative there so he showed us around. I saw 2 bald eagles flying around on the way back to the ship. That was cool!
