Accessible Cruising - Are the ships really accessible?
Welcome back to another episode of You're Not Alone Podcast! This week we are addressing a very common question we are asked in the clinic setting: "Can I still travel? Are cruises accessible to wheelchair users?? How do you make it work???"
This week Morgan and Val are joined by Adam and Tara Pepiton for a cruise review of the various cruise lines and whether they've found their ships and rooms to be accessible to persons with mobility limitations. They also will share stories of the good and bad experiences they've had and how to avoid them in the future.
They provide their opinions of accessibility at ports they have visited ranging from northern destinations in Alaska all the way south to Cozumel and Belize.
Collectively, we find that planning and researching destinations is the most important key to cruising stress-free. Does the trip require a tender transfer to get off the ship? Do you have to arrange for special equipment?? Planning ahead is vital to ensuring safe and enjoyable vacation.
We hope this episode soothes any worries you may have that travel is impossible after injury. It is possible and is essential to continue living your life to the fullest!!
