Reply To: Cruise lines and wheelchair accessibility
Kandl, I’m a wheelchair user and have used a Cunard Line Cruise ship and a P&O Cruise ship once and found both of those are excellent for wheelchair users (of course my arms got tired (as I prefer to use my manual chair rather than my power chair) because of the thick carpets😀). We cruised the Norwegian Fjords with Cunard for 7 nights with great success, my late husband and I don’t like dressing up so we were able to eat at the casual restaurants every evening. At the end of the cruise the Captain auctioned the trip log (which we thought was inspirational as I’m sure they raised money that way (it was for charity I’m pleased to say 😁). We disembarked only once as we didn’t take anyone to assist with my care (I’m the one in the wheelchair) so we decided to take an assistant with us when we did the Iberian Peninsula a couple of years later, it was a BRILLIANT cruise, I only got off in Gibraltar for an extremely joyous tour of the Peninsula. Hope this assists you and your wife
