Reply To: Cruise lines and wheelchair accessibility
Ideally we like to be able to fly directly from the US into the an airport near the port (typically we fly Delta) so as to not risk missing things with a layover and so as to reduce the number of times there is a transfer to/from wheelchair. More broadly, we really are open to traveling anywhere “safe” and have no specific region or location other than not cruising the US as we’ve done, and continue to do, a lot of traveling in other ways there.
We are considering Holland American or doing another on Princess, which we’ve done twice before with wheelchair and both were great. We’ve also cruised with Viking to China and that was amazing, but that was before the wheelchair and they don’t seems to allow for wheelchair which, frankly, is quite disappointing, particularly given a big segment of their “target audience” seems to be people who are likely to have mobility concerns. It certainly made me rethink my impression of them.
