Tour of Accessible Cabin 1012: Holland America's Nieuw Amsterdam
We just stayed in this room. We had our son who uses a power chair and I was using a scooter for the week. This means that we were turning the sofa into a bed at night. Yes we were tight but we made it work. We got rid of the table, we split the bed in half so we had a space between the beds. We parked the chair and scooter in the shower at night. We had our son in one of the beds as we didn’t think we could get him up from the sofa. Thanks for your video it helped us plan our week.
That really is a nice room. Having the couch in there is such a game changer I think. I need a chair with arms and the crew have always been so accommodating to bring a comfy chair with arms. But I could rig up something on that couch lol. Thx Cheryl and Ken.
I haven't found a video yet, if you have done one, on regular staterooms? Did you happen to notice any non-ADA staterooms and their ability to possibly accommodate a scooter at all?
We have this cabin reserved for an upcoming cruise and if you don't mind me asking, was there a lot of noise from the elevators seeing as it is basically just a wall away from them?
