DISABILITIES & ACCESSIBILITY

When discussing accessibility with an operator or reservations clerk, ask hard questions. Are there any stairs, inside or out? Are there grab bars next to the toilet and in the shower/tub? How wide is the doorway to the room? To the bathroom? For the most extensive facilities that meet the latest legal specifications, opt for newer properties, which more often have been designed with access in mind. Older properties or ships must usually be retrofitted and may offer more limited facilities as a result. Be sure to discuss your needs before booking.
