I feel so sorry for Shannon and the kids and the babysitter.

My eye and anger is at Royal Caribbean, folks on the way they handled a special needs individual.

✓Contact the cruise line directly to confirm documentation requirements for special needs individuals.

✓If a special needs person has a school ID, ensure the cruise line explicitly accepts it before traveling.
