Many first-time cruise travelers think that cruise lines provide or have for rent, special access equipment for use on the ships. They don’t. While cruise lines to an excellent job providing accessible staterooms and access to most areas of the ship along with assistance on and off the ship, they don’t have that equipment on board. When travel agents ask cruise lines who they recommend when clients need wheelchair, powerchair and scooter rentals, oxygen units and oxygen rentals, audio and visual aide rentals, baby crib rentals and other essential items on board, Special Needs Group is often the first choice.
Now, Porthole Cruise Magazine has awarded Special Needs Group the winner of its Editor-in-Chief Award 2012 for “Best Travel Assistance For Cruisers With Disabilities.”
2012 marks the first year that Porthole has included the category “Best Travel Assistance For Cruisers With Disabilities” as part of its annual Editor-in-Chief Awards. The awards are determined by Bill Panoff, the magazine’s editor-in-chief, based on his personal travel experiences. They are presented to pay tribute to standouts in the travel industry.
“After personally traveling with a family member who required extra assistance, I turned to the experts at Special Needs Group,” said Panoff. “The experience couldn’t have been easier or more convenient. The company truly made the difference in our cruise vacation.”
