Room Size and Handicaps

Linzi was great in getting our first room for the handicapped on the ship. There were a few choices and the choice she made was superb. We were next to the girl's cabin on the nineth floor. We were near the elevator and the room was huge. It was an inside room, but it had plenty of room for the huge powerchair that Sue brought and the push wheelchair that she brought for going off ship. And off ship she went! She got off at each of the docks for a little "shore" shopping. She really has shopping in her blood. The shops of the Mexican Rivera were made just for her.

Our room had a big shower that had a drop down seat. It had a floor drain that encircled the area and plenty of room to maneuver. The only downside to the room was the distance to a 110 plug, I brought a short multi extension cord but I still needed a 25 foot extension cord to reach into the bathroom to connect to the plug. I went down and talked to the reception desk on deck 7. Within minutes a German boy arrived with a hand full of extension cords and a ship's account bill. If I did not return the extension cord by midnight on the last night of the cruise the account would be charged 50 dollars. As I stood in line a 5:30 on the last morning of the cruise, there were others with their extension cords.. many much smaller than mine with the same 50 dollar charge unless they returned the cord. So the mental noted should be made to be sure to take along a 25 foot extension cord so that it will reach the socket and power my breathing machine.
