Accessible room Tours On the Carnival Sunshine Which works with a wheelchair

In this video, we're going to tour several different categories of accessible cabins on the Carnival Sunrise. The first category we're touring is cabin 1055. It's an ambulatory-accessible, inside cabin. And as we turn around and look, you'll notice that this cabin is really the same size as all of the other interior cabins, and the door's not big enough to get in through (with wheelchair).

We're going to take a look at some of the features. I'll give you a low-level view and you can see it's pretty tight through there. It's tight through the doorway. We will take a look under the bed. Uh, somebody had asked about a Hoyer lifts. And as you see underneath, there is room to get a Hoyer lift underneath that.

What makes this an accessible cabin is the fact that they have rails near the toilet and the shower seat. And rails in the shower. It does have a adjustable shower and a handheld shower unit. But in reality, this cabin is really good for individuals that may have just a little bit of a balance problem.

You might be able to use it if you use a walker, but it is not going to ever work very well with a wheelchair. It's one of those things. I would take it as a last resort because you do have a step up into the bathroom and you have a step up in the shower as well. You see, from my wife's wheelchair, it just doesn't work to get in the door.

Our next cabin is cabin 1116, and this is an ambulatory-accessible balcony. And what we're going to see as we go in and look around this cabin as well, is that It's fine for somebody that doesn't need to use a wheelchair full-time. It might have enough space in this one that you could fold your wheelchair and put it up.

Because there does seem to be a little more space as we turn around here in a second and look at the other side. But you'll see, there's a really big lip there to get out of the balcony door. So with a wheelchair, if you really needed it. It's not going to work very well.

We'll take a look at the shower and the bathroom here. Same kind of thing. We have the rails for the toilet, we have rails and a shower seat. But it's just not something that's going to work well for somebody who really needs a wheelchair.

This next cabin is Carnival Sunrise room 1-2-7-1, 1271. It's an ambulatory-accessible, ocean-view cabin. Again, this cabin is the normal size. It has a porthole and you have the same challenge trying to figure out how to make this work with a wheelchair. Definitely wouldn't work with a scooter. You can see again from the looking down here at this level, that it's just really tight.

There's not really any place that you could park a chair other than blocking the couch. Even if you folded it up and he saw the lip there that leads you into the bathrooms. Like I said, if it's just a balance issue that might work really well, there you see a better view of the shower nozzle, it is removable. You have the shower bench. So again, for balance issues it would work. But if you really need a wheelchair, you need to enter and leave the room in the wheelchair. This one is a category that's not going to work for you either.

This cabin is cabin 8427, and this is an accessible, premium-balcony stateroom. Which means it's a balcony room and it's a little bigger than even the normal accessible balcony room would be. You we'll take again. It'll take a good look around. You'll notice that, uh, it's a, room's very nice, got automatic door opener, which makes it very useful.

You'll see how, again, she'll swipe a card and put it in there and the door's going to open, it's motorized, and then she can wheel right in to the room. It makes it very easy. Now we're going to take a little more time in this room and look around and see all of the features of this room.

One of the things that was interesting is that some of the accessible rooms have a switch for the bathroom door, this one does not. We were debating whether or not it had a switch, but there's no motor on the door. So we'll go in and take a look around. I'll open the door a little wider here.

Now we'll just follow Cheryl in andwe'll see how big it is and how well it works with a wheelchair.

So again, lots of rails and some of them being used as towel rails as well. Space under the sink to get your wheelchair up. One of the things that is different, you know, the floor space is really nice and open. This one actually has a wall on one side of it. So it is a true shower stall rather than, our room, which had the wrap-around curtain, which I thought was interesting. Again, you have your rails, it is the removable shower(head) so it's handheld.
