    Inform the Airline about Your Mobility or Equipment Needs

    You need to communicate with the airline about your mobility needs as well. If you require specific equipment such as a medical fridge, inform the airline in advance. To obtain a disabled access cabin, travel experts advise that you book early.

    How to Select a Ship

    • Generally, it is best to select a newer ship. However, it is still okay to choose an older ship that has been refurbished. Normally, renovated ships are made more accessible for cruisers with disabilities.
    • Ask about the width of the doorways to confirm the accessibility level.
    • Search on the Internet and review the available cruise lines by adding the words, “accessibility” or “special needs” in the browser. Many cruise lines feature a department that can assist special needs passengers.

    Once you receive this information, you can better communicate your needs and your trip interests with a travel agent. Even if the travel agent can handle most, if not all, of your requests, if still is a good idea to learn more about the different cruise lines and disabled friendly cruises.

    Verify the Price and Note the Amenities

    Accessible cruises for people with disabilities allow disabled people to enjoy all the amenities of a five-star hotel. Therefore, they make cruise travel a joy for anyone who wants to savor a relaxing and memorable vacation. Guests can enjoy on-board entertainment each day and can visit cruise destinations that are exciting and beautiful. Therefore, you will probably have some questions after you scan some of the information about the disabled friendly cruises that capture your interest. For instance, you will need to verify the cost and inquire about what is included in the price.

    Confirm Your Cabin’s Features

    Finally, make sure your accessible cabins meets all your needs before confirming the date of your trip.
