Accessible staterooms are held for people with disabilities until all other non-accessible staterooms in that category are reserved. Upon reserving an accessible stateroom, the cruise line will require guests to acknowledge the need for the accessible stateroom by completing a Guest Special Needs Form.
If a guest books an accessible stateroom and they do not have a mobility disability or other disability that requires the use of the features that are provided in the accessible stateroom, they may be moved at any time to another non-accessible stateroom in order to accommodate a guest with a disability.

- Stateroom door width: 32"-34" (vessel-dependent)
- Bathroom door width: 32"-34" (vessel-dependent)
