Are there services for guests with disabilities?
In accordance with ADA requirements, most ships will offer a limited number of accessible staterooms that may include 32- to 34-inch doors, ramped bathrooms, roll-in showers, grab bars, raised toilet seats, lowered sinks and vanity areas and a five-foot turning radius in the sleeping areas, bathrooms and sitting areas. There are spacious corridors and accessible ramps and lifts into all public areas as well. Menus, stateroom numbers, service directories and elevators buttons in Braille are provided for visually impaired guests on many ships. Guest who are hearing impaired may be able to access portable kits including TTY (Text Telephone)/TDD (Telecommunication Device for the Deaf), Alertmaster and a strobe alarm, closed-captioned televisions, amplified telephones in staterooms and public areas, and infrared systems. Some cruise lines will provide theatrically-trained sign language interpreters. Please notify us well in advance to check on accessibility and availability of any services
