Interesting to note that travel accessibility for people who are blind or partially sighted has taken an even bigger step forward. Cruises are now catering to the requests and requirements of their patrons who are Blind. In fact, some travel agencies are creating special packages for groups of people who are blind. Guide dogs on board? No problem. Appropriate signage and menus (Braille and Large Print) have become a more common feature on some of these ships. Check the web site of the Society for Accessible Travel and Hospitality http://www.sath.org Also, one of the travel agents specializing in these cruises (Florida) is found at: http://www.outtasighttravel.com
