r/Inclusion

My aunt is turning 80 this summer and is feeling well enough to want to do something for her birthday. We've settled on an Alaska cruise with Glacier Bay for our group, but both she and her husband have limited mobility.

My uncle has MS and uses a walker to scoot himself around the house. He‘s stubborn and hates the idea of a scooter/wheel chair. This is fine at home, but incredibly concerning outside of the house. We figured the amount of scenic cruising in Alaska would interest him and an accessible balcony room or suite would be ideal.

My aunt is slightly better off and uses a walker for her walks around the block and sometimes around the house for stability. She is 100% open to using a wheelchair or scooter. She has also mentioned she really wants to do a helicopter tour.

Since I’ve never traveled with anyone with disabilities (and they have done very little travel in the last few years because of said disabilities), I’m looking for insight into how feasible going on a cruise would actually be, what tools we could get to make the experience enjoyable for them, and what questions/information I need to ask/share with the cruise line.

Thank you!

I'm mostly blind and tried playing Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. Although there were some accessibility features for playing the game, like high contrast options, there weren't any for the menus, like menu narration.

I know some game companies might not have the budget to add these things to games, but it's such a shame accessibility seems to be an afterthought.
