Creator's Key Takeaways
My doorway in Accessible Oceanview Cabin E139 had only about 1 inch clearance on either side of the wheels on my scooter.
The width of the doorway was was difficult for a scooter and if any chairs or wider you know I'm a big fat guy if I was in a wheelchair of the width of my wheelchair would probably have been wider than that doorway.
That part of deck 11 was totally inaccessible that was the only way to get to the outside of deck 11 were those two elevators unless you could walk up and down stairs.
I would recommend it to other Mobility challenge sure as long as you know you can't use deck 11. at this point and you may have issues getting in the width of the doorway depending on what kind of cabin you.

Please watch: "Alaska Solo Cruise" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-unjGmFyVc --~-- --~-- Accessibility Report Carnival Paradise. I sailed on Carnival Paradise from Tampa, Florida on November 5. 2022. This report includes three areas of concern from this ship. My doorway in Accessible Oceanview Cabin E139 had only about 1 inch clearance on either side of the wheels on my scooter. This made it very difficult to get the scooter inside to charge it in the evenings. During the day, I left it in the hallway. Deck 11 has two doors up an accessible ramp to the outside allowing one to get to things like the Carnival Waterworks and several of the kids programs like Camp Ocean and Creative Cove. There are multiple flights of stairs, but only the two elevators. Upon rolling up the ramp, I did not have the strength to open either door, and then discovered about a 2 inch lip that would stop most scooters and solo wheelchair users. Therefore, Deck 11 was rendered totally inaccessible to the mobility challenged. Finally, as smoothly as embarkation went, disembarkation was equally awful. Since I had a scooter, I was not considered disabled and had to wait with the masses of guests disembarking. It was two hours before I was in position to even call for an Uber. I was still basically happy with the cruise. The food was wonderful, the service outstanding, the entertainment great. And, as long as my handicap/mobility challenged community is aware of the three short comings, I would suggest this cruise worth taking. I would go again. Thanks for visiting my channel.
