We liked the itinerary and we liked the length of the cruise. We will cruise with NCL again, when we find an itinerary that appeals to us!

Thank you for such a wonderful review. You will help make someone else's cruise so much easier because of the information you posted.

Did you know that Holland America Cruise Lines (HAL) has a DVD regarding accesibility on their ships:

Access to Excellence

Where in the world do your dreams take you?
Come with Holland America Line. We've been sailing the world's oceans, caring for guests, since the trans-atlantic heyday. In that time we gained a reputation for excellence based on the traditions we celebrate onboard. Some of these, such as the summons of pleasant musical chimes to dinner, are long-standing; others are quite new (hydrolic tender lift systems and roll-in showers) as we continue to make our ships accessible to guests with disabilities. Herein, we present a look at the elements, large and small, that have led the readers of Porthole Cruise magazine to recognise us as having the "Best Overall Facilities for Guests with Disabilities."
