Handicap friendly holiday cruises?

Question

I am looking for a cruise to take my parents on. My Dad uses a walker and my Mom is in a wheelchair. I am hoping some other wheelchair users will have a suggestion for cruiselines or specific cruises that are wheelchair/handicapped friendly. Any other holiday suggestions for these two would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I have been on several Carnival cruises, and have seen people in this state.  I would suggest you call the cruise lines, and see what they have to say about the ammenities that they offer.

Answer 2

Holland America Line have a greater than average number of infim passengers due to the older age of the passengers.

As such they are used to, and have the proceedures in place to deal with it.

Also if your folks are a bit wobbly on their feet then HAL might be better for them as a cruise, as its a slower more relaxed pace of life
