Hi @mandalay01

Theres not much room at all in a standard cabin.you may be able to ring company and ask about any larger rooms for disabled customers or consider a suite? Same goes for the cabin toilet/shower facilites en suite.they ussualy do provide on board public disabled toilets though.

Hi @mandalay01,
Welcome!
CruiseCritic has a blog about the what the different companies offer disabled travellers (they're a company, so I don't know how impartial it is but looks useful).
