  Well, this doesn't sound great.  I wonder what they'd say about two blind 
  people; one with a guide dog and the other with a cane?

  I just got off the phone with NCL.  And unless you have a sighter person 
  with you or a guide dog they will not accommodate you at all.

    Hi Cindy:

    I am happy to report that NCL is doing much better with there 
  accessibility
    then they have done in the past.  Educating them has seem to have work
    finally.  I recently had clients who have come back after a 7 day cruise
    with their guide dogs and reported all went well.  So it looks like NCL 
  has
    made great progress when it comes to serving their blind passengers.

    ----- Original Message ----- 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.
