Wheelchair Accessible Mini Suite Tour | Discovery Princess

Are you a wheelchair user dreaming of sailing through Alaska or exploring the rugged beauty of the west coast? The Discovery Princess might just be your perfect ship. Stick around as we take you inside one of the wheelchair accessible mini suites because accessible luxury at sea is definitely a thing. With Princess's medallion technology the door unlocks automatically. No need to juggle room keys or do awkward wrist gymnastics. Just roll up and you're in. This is the accessible mini suite and it lives up to the name. Wide open floor plan, easy maneuver and no strange layouts getting in your way. The bathroom is fully equipped for wheelchair users. Roll in shower, fold down bench, grab bars and insulated pipes to prevent burns. Everything's positioned where it should be and it actually works. We had space for four people each with a suitcase and a carry-on. Plus I brought a full setup of medical supplies for a 10-day cruise and still had room to spare. The room configuration includes two twin beds that convert into a king, a pop-up sofa bed and even a pull-down bed from the ceiling above the couch. Perfect for families or friends sharing a space without feeling cramped. For my cruise I had an adjustable bed delivered right to the cabin and when you call me to book your trip I can help arrange one for you too. So everything's set up before you even roll on board. You'll also find two tvs one facing the main bed the other facing the seating area with the curtain you can draw between them if someone wants to stay up watching while the other crashes early. Smart and practical. This accessible balcony is so easy you can roll right out and soak in glacier passes and wildlife right from your chair. It's your own private viewing deck perfect for those early mornings sipping coffee while stunning Alaska scenery drifts by. Back inside there's a desk, a fridge for medication or essentials and nightstands that are easy to reach. If you're planning a cruise to Alaska or the west coast and you need a space that's actually built with accessibility in mind this reserve collection mini suite on the Discovery Princess is a fantastic option. From the thoughtful room layout to the accessible balcony and the option to add medical equipment like an adjustable bed it all just works.
