This was my third cruise. The first was RCCL’s Freedom of the Seas. The second was Princess’s Sapphire Princess. I am handicapped and needed a scooter to get around.
The cruise was great over all bookended by some missteps by RCCL.
The embarkation was a nightmare. There was a computer glitch that greatly slowed the debarkation of the previous guest. My wife and I had to wait about an hour outside for a wheelchair. Once inside, I was dumped in the Promenade at the pizza joint, with no wheelchair. I had to walk to the aft elevator and the all the way to our state room at the forward elevator. A very long walk for me.
We were in a handicapped cabin, 10162. It was nicer then the HC on the Sapphire. I was in a regular cabin on Freedom. The bathroom was smaller the Sapphire, but I liked it better. The balcony had a nice, unobstructed view. Our attendant was Iputu, who did a good gob and was always friendly and helpful. It was a straight shot into the door from the elevator, which is wonderful for the scooter. There was also plenty of space in the cabin for the scooter.again.
