I was speaking to a client of mine the other day who is travelling on Fred Olsen in May from Southampton. Her partner needs a wheelchair whilst on board the ship which isn’t a problem. So long as your travel agent checks with the cruise line before you book that wheelchair space is available, you can go ahead and make your booking. Now, the difficult bit is that their daughter is taking them in the car to the port for embarkation and unfortunately her family car will not accommodate a wheelchair and all the suitcases. So after having a bit of a nosy around and researching a lot of different sites we came up with a very good company that can hire wheelchairs for the duration of the cruise and also meet you at port on embarkation and also disembarkation which is a brilliant solution!!!! No Hassle !!!. No need to take your wheelchair, just hire one for your holiday.
