Guest guest Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 We went on a Disney Cruise, funded by Make-a-Wish. Our cabins were great! Big roll in showers, big balcony, and we had two cabins since my brother & I both use power chairs. I got sea-sick before we left the dock! LOL! But everything was accessible. I loved sitting on the deck, looking out over the ocean. We stopped at two islands and we just walked to the little towns to shop, eat, sightsee, etc. The beaches were not my thing, so I went back on the ship and went to the movies. The stuff at the airport was a mess though! They broke my brothers Tilt feature on his chair, but when we got into our cabin, my dad managed to fix it. Then on our way home, they LOST my chair. So, I'm sitting in this over-sized manual chair at O'Hare waiting to hear news on where my chair (New at the time) flew away to... They first said it was left in Florida, then 10 minutes later it was on it's way to Hawaii, another 20 minutes later it was found! Where? In the baggage compartment of the plane!!! No one recognized it was a wheelchair until they emptied out the whole plane! I was so relieved but we were so pissed and ready to sue that damn airline! And the thing is, something like this keeps happening to us whenever we travel by planes. Ships are cool! But this was 10+ years ago, so I'm sure they got lots of more great accommodations on other cruise-lines too. There was an article in Quest a few issues back about which ones are good for disabled travelers. Check it out online. I'm not sure what issue it was though, sorry. I'm not into traveling. Too much of a hassle for me. Probably of the constant airplane mishaps! I'd go for a European Cruise if I could, but only if we drive to the port! LOL! I'm sure you'll have a great time! Just be well prepared for anything to happen! But that's part of the adventure too!
