Wheelchair Accessible Cabins on P&O
As most family’s with disabled family members know, it is extremely hard to go on holiday .
Organising the airlines to allow wheelchairs, staying at hotels which say they have ramps and disability facilities and finding out that are not adequate.
P&O Cruises can cater for anyones needs be it Gluten/Lactose intolerant a halal diet or wheelchair accessible cabins.
So to make it a little easier I thought it would be nice to write about the facilities and how to make and organise a wheelchair cabin for your family holiday.
