Christy is back from her first ever sailing aboard Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady. This was a four night sailing featuring stops in Key West, and their private resort on Bimini. Virgin Voyages falls under the Premium Cruise Lines, and only allows guests 18 and older to sail. They have definitely gone out of their way to differentiate themselves from traditional cruise lines, and to Christy’s surprise, well, no spoilers here…you’ll have to listen to the show. We have a fun time hearing about her stateroom, dining options, onboard entertainment, the “Red” Hammock on her balcony, and also her thoughts on their private resort. So if you’re ready to try something different? Lets “Shake” for Champagne, and set sail aboard Virgin Voyages first ship, the beautiful Scarlet Lady.

Vanessa and Andrew join us this week to discuss what Disney Cruise Line offers for guests with Accessibility needs. Andrew uses a wheel chair to get around, so we touch on all aspects of how it works to travel with Disney Cruise Line, along with some of their challenges. We touch on the Special Services Information form which guests fill out prior to cruising, to let DCL know what needs and services the guest and their family will need. We then touch on the amenities available in the Accessible Staterooms, how easy it is to move around the ships and experience everything each sailing has to offer, how dining and the shows work, what to look for in possible Port Adventures, and finally why Castaway Cay provides them with the perfect Island experience while on their cruise. Again, we’d like to give a huge shout out to Vanessa and Andrew for sharing with all of our listeners their knowledge and experience, into what Disney Cruise Line offers for guests with Accessibility needs.
