Good
We went on a UK Cruise around Ireland, Scottish Highland and Islands, Wales and England. The staff and services onboard were fantastic. Accessible taxis at each dock were fantastic.

Excellent
The ship itself had fantastic access and there were plenty of lifts. The only downside was there was only 1 access to the outside deck for powered wheelchairs but manual chairs would easily get over the door lip.

We arrived via my WAV. Parking at the dock was easy and provided direct access to the ship. We took the free parking package which was so helpful.

Excellent
There were various disabled toilets around the ship. Our Cabin was an Accessible one and the bathroom was easy to access with both my manual and powered chairs.

Excellent
The Staff were all extremely friendly. Every evening the head chef would come and discuss my menus for the next day as I have several severe allergies. No matter which Restaurant I used all the staff made me feel very safe.
Additional Information
All areas were being cleaned several times a day. The staff were happy to comply with whatever you felt safest (eg if you wanted your cabin cleaner would wear a mask while in your cabin). Some passengers were wearing masks while others like ourselves felt safe enough without. It was up to yourself. The only downside was two of the ports Stornoway and Kirkwall were only accessible by Tender so I couldn’t get off the ship. My carer went off (with extra money) and kept me updated via WhatsApp but we knew this before we booked the trip. There was plenty of entertainment onboard to keep me occupied while she was away.
