Creator's Key Takeaways

If you plan ahead and tell the cruise line of your needs before you leave, you will have a much more memorable experience.

Please note that not all ships provide these accommodations.

I was recently traveling with someone with arthritic knees who needed extra space on the bus.

These rooms are often larger than your typical cabin and usually have things such as wider doors and larger bathrooms and larger showers as well as grab bars to accommodate wheelchairs or other mobility devices.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Find out if the ship has handicapped accessible rooms and book one if available.

✓Let your travel agent or the special accommodations team know if you need an accessible cabin.

✓Check with the shore excursion desk to verify that you can use your mobility device on tours.

✓Contact the special accommodations team for dietary restrictions or physical limitations.

✓Check with the cruise line before you leave about compatible plugs for medical devices.
