Again, the cruise lines are some of the best places for either the blind or sighted can enjoy. Is there an interest in going cruising, you got to remember you are saying years ago.  

How many years ago are we talking.  And years ago making a reservation was not only harder for the blind but also for travel agents.  Had an aunt in the business sighted, I am the only one blind in my family I went blind 7 years ago.

Things do change we need to try things again, whether the same place or try another cruise line.  Royal Caribbean, Holland America, Cunard, Princess, and many many more.

  Well, I hope your experience, after you've actually traveled with them, 
  tells the same story.  We had a terrible experience trying to make 
  reservations with them, many years ago, and ever since then, I've heard 
  horror stories about them ... how custodial they are and, in general, making 
  it difficult or uncomfortable for blind people to travel on their ships.

    Wrong, Wrong in fact I am going on a cruise next November bringing guide 
  dog they even have brailled menus

    So what you heard is wrong if interested contact me and I can get you some 
  great deals on Norwegian really cheap rates going because of the economy.

    Infact, prior to me becoming travel agent in September I made reservation 
  in April for the New Epic and they were glad to help and no problems at all 
  with dogs or braille at all, plus I have made a few reservations on 
  Norwegian for some blind people that are not part of the NFB and they had a 
  great time.

      Hi all, I wanted to ask for people's recent experiences with Norwegian. 
  I
      know they haven't had a good reputation with blind travelers, 
  historically.
      But, I'd like to know how things have been in the last few years.
