Creator's Key Takeaways

I am more me than I've ever been in my entire life I'm doing things that I could have only dreamed about doing impacting the world impacting our community in a way that I would have never been able to if I were still walking

they listened there was a permanent lift installed in the hydrotherapy pool on Holland America's counting Stone

the every Cruise Line has that department and you are supposed to be able to contact them before you Cruise and they're supposed to help you coordinate and figure out what you need

I would rather people picture doors opening when they talk about a person with a disability rather than them picturing somebody who is incapable

Creator's Tips & Advice

Contact the cruise line's accessibility department before your cruise to coordinate needs
Show staff the physical struggles you face to help them understand accessibility issues
Use language that frames disability as accessible and empowering rather than limiting
