Review summary

If you are in a wheel chair, there is a lot of can't do's. You cant use the veranda. You can't get to outside bow viewing places. You can't do any of the off board excursions. You can't get off at the anchored destinations. But being aboard the ship and doing all it has to offer was excellent time for me. The crew are beyond helpful and nice. The dinning was perfect in every way.

Welcome to the world of cruising. Thanks for posting your first Review here. I am so sorry that being in a wheelchair limits your enjoyment on cruises. Perhaps someday this will not be the case. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with all of us. It gives us something to think about.
