With the expansion of the cruising sector, it is difficult to keep up as the goalposts keep changing, but one thing hasn’t changed: the travel industry’s inability to provide a disabled traveller with what they need to plan a stress-free adventure. Information on accessibility can be hard to find and the internet is filled with dead and out-of-date sites. Being disabled can be hard enough but I believe information is power, the power to be able to control our choices and know what we are going to come up against when we pick a cruise. This general how-to on cruising is the first, aimed at giving you the power to make your own choices, take control and organise the perfect seafaring holiday, getting the best out of both the ship and its destinations.
