Cheap Cruise Holidays & Latest Cruises Deals

Hello , I am also in a wheelchair but i can walk alittle, Yes you do need a disabled cabin, as they are alot bigger with everything you would need, if you get a balcony cabin its really nice soaking up the sun, We went on the Ventura last year, and it was my first year in a wheel chair, Everbody on the ship crew that is will go out of there way to help you, IF and when you book ask your TA that yoju need help at the Airport and transfers if needed, this went so well for us. Yes on occasions it was a little difficult to get around and some of the doors were a little hard to get through, there is also a pool that also has a lift for the disabled and is manned, the staff will aslo help at the restaurants as well, We actually met a gentlement that was paralized from the waist down and he has been cruising for years he said, he even did the trampoline and he was an inspiration, We are also booked this year and next year with RCL doing a transatlantic again on the Navigator. Also when you choose your cruise check out the ports and that your not tendered, I also know that P&O do cater for the Disabled on the excursions, All I can say to you my friend is what have you got to lose, maybe a lot to gain, Cruise companys are used to people like yourself, Go for it Im sure you will have a good time but make sure the TA knows everytrhing or you can also call the cruise line. As for the A** H**E below forget the likes of him, as there many more that will help you if you want it. OH the lifts on the Ventura was a little bit of fun , It was chase the lift before the door closed, Anyway my friend Happy cruising... Brian

OV 1 has disabled cabins, and I have seen wheelchairs on the top sun deck as one of the lifts go right up there, crew also seem very helpful getting wheelchairs on and off the ship. Check with them or see brochure page 110 for more details, or this infor could be on thier webpage ps I was on holiday when you last asked this question

If you can get hold of a Berlitz Guide they rate the ships and cruise lines,roughly the newer the ships the better the facilities .most ships have a disabled room or rooms with a wet room and lower fittings with more space to maneuver a chair in but these fill up quickly some will provide a hoist in the cabin and lots have hoists by the pool and hot tub area, they all seem to provide help getting on and of the the ship,but not all ports are wheel chair friendly.The 3 Lines we have sailed with from the UK RCI Celerity and P&O all have plenty of disabled passengers lots of them being repeat customers.Ring a cruise agent plenty have a free phone number and have a chat best of luck.
