I appreciate the recommended access guidelines you have proposed. Please also consider adding a requirement for all cabins to have doorways that are 32 inches wide. With that requirement, those of us in wheelchairs would be able to visit cabins of those who do not use wheelchairs. Without 32 inch doorways, this would not be possible. In addition, people who use scooters but do not require wheelchair-accessible bathrooms would be able to book standard rooms. This would free the wheelchair-accessible rooms for those who require them. Often the accessible rooms sell out, sometimes to people who do not need all the access features. Please consider adding the 32 inch doorway requirement to your proposed guidelines.

Thank you.
