| Many cruise lines are becoming increasingly
aware of the special needs of wheelchair travelers. When choosing a cruise,
be sure and ask if the ship has doorways wide enough for most chairs, rooms
designed with wheelchair movement in mind, and bathrooms featuring roll-in
showers and hand-held detachable shower heads.
Additionally, many lines offer special wheelchair transportation
gangway mechanisms, ramps, and elevators with Braille call buttons as
well as audible arrival sounds, as well as a supply of ADA "all in one
kits" including telephone amplifiers, visual smoke detectors, door knocker
sensors, text telephones and other aids for guests with hearing impairment.
