Venice authorities are considering a radical solution, which will reduce the number of tourists visiting the city. According to the plans are prohibited from visiting the city by the so-called. overnight tourists. Managing the Italian city on the water offer "a drastic solutions" to protect the city from the daily crowds of visitors who flooded the narrow streets and Renaissance squares. One proposal is to check as a "pass" at the entrance to the city, have a reservation at least one day in one of the Venetian hotel. |

I raised this question on another NG, and I was advised to bring it here. There's a cruise on the MSC Orchestra in February that I'd like to take, with the following ports of call: Key West, Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Cayo Levantado. The ship leaves from Ft. Lauderdale. I'm wheelchair-bound, and I have no idea how feasible it is for someone in a wheelchair to take a cruise. My sister warned me that even though the ship claims to be wheelchair-accessible, the cabins would be impossibly small for me to use. I have called the cruise line, and was told that the accessible cabins are 226 square feet in area, which would be roughly 15 x 15. Also, tenders are used at Cayo Levantado. Do any of you have any experience/knowledge of the particular ship, and on taking cruises while in a wheelchair, and would be willing to share it with me? I appreciate any assistance.

Cayman is also going to be a tender port and Cozumel could be and depending on your ability it is unlikely that a wheel chair will do well on tender operations. The ship will be fine, there are very few obstructions on modern cruise ships.

Also, tenders are used at Cayo Levantado. You can certainly cruise if you are wheelchair bound. The newer ships all have accessible cabins. Don't know anything about that particular ship. I would not pick that itinerary if you want to get off the ship. In addition to Cayo Levanado being a tender port, Grand Cayman is also a tender port. Cozumel and Key West have docks. However I have been on ships that tendered to Cozumel and Key West. Since MSC is not one of the industry leaders they might not have docking priority and end up tendering at Cozumel and/or Key West also. I suggest starting with one of the major cruise lines for your first cruise.

Also, tenders are used at Cayo Levantado. If you are in a power chair forget about going ashore on any tender port. If you can take a few steps the crew would help you onto the tender and then bring your manual chair aboard. One gal we cruised with was in a manual chair and she was a small person, the crew carried her in her wheelchair onto the tender. Of coursee you can forget about any tender if the seas are rough.

Do any of you have any experience/knowledge of the particular ship, and on taking cruises while in a wheelchair, and would be willing to share it with me? I appreciate any assistance. I had a wheelchair accessible cabin on the NCL Jade and it was huge (I don't have a wheelchair, I just use a cane). The greatest difficulty ON the ship is that you have to take an elevator between levels and at peak times the elevators may be crowded. There are also thresholds on some of the deck access points IIRC. Will you be traveling with someone who can help push and carry luggage? As others have mentioned, I would not do that itin in a wheelchair because at least two of the ports are tender ports. I have seen people do tenders in wheelchairs, but looked very uncomfortable for them, as the chair and person had to be moved from the ship to the tender by muscle power, with both the ship and the tender bouncing up and down, but not together. Occasionally, even in the non-tender ports, the ramps are too steep for the wheelchair and the wheelchair bound pax could not get off. Also you have to consider what you will be able to do if you do get off. I don't think the streets of Cozumel are very wheelchair friendly. I don't know how accessible the cabs are. If you dock at the RCI dock you are quite a long distance from town.

The point is not which cruise line is best to start with, it's that he wants to go with this group, and he doesn't have a choice of cruise lines, and he is worried about getting around in a wheelchair if it is required.

Side-lost city?
Nothing fascinates us more than not finding something new for the first time, ahead of other seekers. Especially Dior Replica Handbag hamilelikte beslenme Zenith Replica as something ancient, like the ruins of the old city, which "miraculously" survived the flood and the fire.

Since I began to leave abroad for tourism, in the last 10 years is already the third camera, which was written off. The first camera stolen from me in 1999 when New Year's Eve in Paris, the second fell from my hand during the attack peak of Mount Elbrus in 2007.

But it does, let's start from the beginning.
