Creator's Key Takeaways

Handicapped cruising can present a whole myriad of challenges.

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

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

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 you can use your mobility device on tours.

✓Contact the special accommodations team before boarding for assistance on and off the ship.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Finding accessible rooms on ships — Check if the ship has accessible rooms and book one if available; they are often larger with wider doors and grab bars.

Mobility device storage and use on excursions — Wheelchairs must be stored in cabins, not hallways; verify with the shore excursion desk that your device can be used on tours.
