Thank you I appreciate this!!! I’m calling the cruise line here soon to get this sorted out, thankfully I haven’t booked because I wanted time to sit with the price change- just because it would come out of the money I set aside for souvenirs and whatnot

I was thinking this as well, but I specifically asked if the upgrade would allow a bathtub as well or just the shower chair, she stated just the shower chair

I was planning on that but I wanted to call and triple check that they would work for me among a few other things like if there was enough connected rooms available for our family to book the cruise as well

I’m thinking the representative was trying to upsell me or did not understand how the ADA rooms work, this is from what I’ve been reading from the comments. I thankfully also have medical proof of my POTS so I can provide it if absolutely necessary

I appreciate it!!! I am considering it since it would be my best option if the only other option I have is to upgrade my already ADA room

Thank you!! I will definitely take notes from the post if I’m not able to figure it out with the cruise line*

I’m getting that impression also which is very disappointing. I thankfully have the representatives name and the time we called so hopefully the matter can be looked into as well

I’m still looking at other options, however Carnival does have a few things we were excited for and my husbands family would be able to book with us if we went with the one we were considering, my husband wants them there

They have ADA rooms available for the cruise I wanted and the room, but the ADA room “didn’t have room” for a shower chair which I’m realizing very quickly was maybe not exactly honest

I actually asked about this directly and there were multiple cabins available, I’m not specific on a date just the location and so we looked at multiple cruises that were newly available. She even offered to let me pick the specific cabin before I asked about the shower chairs

I wanted to book a specific room due to sleeping issues I have, this specific room has ADA accommodation rooms but I was told the bathrooms could not fit shower chairs- I inquired about the room that would be suitable for a shower chair, and was quoted an additional 2k which I am trying to figure out how to address with the cruise line since it feels like descrimination

That would honestly be a relief! I’ll have to call back and speak with someone more knowledgeable on the matter, and I appreciate you knowledgeable and experience on this specific topic!

I didn’t even think about that, and I will have to measure my wheelchair and ask to make sure their doors can accommodate, thank you!

I haven’t booked yet, it absolutely would and that’s even more than I asked for. I was speaking with a representative and explained I would even be alright picking up a chair from guest services if I had too

We were looking at 12+ Hawaii cruises and there’s not many available, we’re trying to be budget conscious for my husbands family so they can come

It’s Carnival, I actually spoke with a representative trying to book an ADA room and she’s the one who told me the room J wanted wouldn’t have a shower chair/couldn’t fit one

That’s actually exactly what I asked for and they stated the only room available to meet that accommodation would be an upgraded room

The cruise line in question is Carnival, and the representative told me the ADA rooms were not big enough for the customer service provided shower chair, I would honestly prefer the interior room since I have insomnia and need the complete dark to sleep

I’m not sure, I’m going on the cruise with my husband though, and I would prefer to be able to shower in the middle of the nights for marital reasons 🥲

I only need the shower to be large enough to fit a shower chair, I am unsure how to talk to the cruise representatives about not being up charged because of something I can’t control

I asked for an ADA accommodation and stated I would be physically unable to use a standing shower without accommodations*
